[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5909369, member: 82106"] Yes, you would have to find/enchant/transfer a +2 enchantment of some sort to an accurate staff. Superior implements are a separate sub-type of implement. They were introduced in PHB3 as an additional implement rule. So an implement has a base type (staff, wand, rod, etc) and then it MAY also be superior (with one of various properties). Beyond that it can also be a magical implement, but superior and magical are separate things. The reason this isn't mentioned in the rules for magical items is twofold. First of all superior is independent of magical, but secondly it is a rule that was brought in later on, so most items were designed before superior implements existed. Basically superior implements were added to the game because of the advantages that 'weaplements' had over non-weapon implements. You could for instance utilize a number of feats with say a dagger as an implement that you couldn't use with say a wand, because a dagger also counts as a weapon and many feats didn't require you make a WEAPON attack with it to get feat bonuses, etc. Allowing a feat to let you access superior implements just creates a pathway to get the same sorts of bonuses with non-weapon implements.
