Anything I have created with a quarterstaff is not showing on the create list only the 3 basic quarterstaff weapons of +1, +2, and +3.
If I search my creations it shows up there but if want to use an existing item with quarterstaff in the name, it does not in the actual area to change it.
Only way is to start from scratch.
But there seems to be a glitch or something seriously wrong with it to not show up in the drop down of existing items on the homebrew create page.
I have refreshed the page and browser thinking IDK maybe, but still not showing, Some of those items I created a few months ago.
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do. Are you trying to create a new homebrew using one of your homebrew quarterstaffs as the base, or are you trying to add the homebrew to a character sheet?

Create a new homebrew from an existing one. and anything other than base items with the word quarterstaff does not show up in the drop down.
So say I create a bright light pistol, quarterstaff, and rapier, and I want to create a variant of the quarterstaff, it has bright light pistol than bright light rapier.
The bright light quarterstaff does not show up regardless of what I type to look it up, in the create drop down menu.
Either someone screwed up and forgot to add something to the program or there is a glitch.
I can surely link the weapon or 100 of them with the name quarterstaff if you want it will not change the fact that they just do not show up in the drop down menu of the create menu.
Okay, just found this out, it does show up but only if you do not use the magic type in the search. I have been using weapon as the type, because it is a weapon.
So someone screwed up and did not add quarterstaff's to the weapon list, or did not link that to the weapon magic type.
I mean, it makes sense to think of searching under weapon instead of a particular arcane focus... And when I copy a magic staff, it just shows as a Base Item Type: Item.
Maybe they could change the Create Homebrew Item page to have things that are Base Item Type: Weapon show up under Weapon even if they have an implicit Magic Item Type: Staff?

Especially since the only way to choose a quarterstaff is to choose weapon in the homebrew options. (which is why I was looking under weapons for it to begin with).
They already have a distinction between rod, staff, and quarterstaff, so it makes sense to follow through with that same logic.
I always choose quarterstaff as the option for all staffs, (even if the item does not explicitly say, it can be used as one) as it eliminates players asking, "Can I use my staff as an improvised weapon, and what damage would it do?"

Either way it is a bug and a problem.
Can you give the link to the bright light quarterstaff so a staff member can take a look? It doesn't need to be published.

Interesting, they show up if you pick Magic Item Type "Staff". Also the "Vicious Quarterstaff" and "Quarterstaff of Warning".
I think this is occurring because of changes made to make sure someone with a magic staff is able to wield it as a quarterstaff.

ah ha I see.
My bad. I deeply apologize. I did not even look or think of staff type.
Sorry all.
