@AguinaldoSilvestre: I think the issue here is over different interpretations of the equipment description An arcane focus is a special item ... a rod ... designed to channel the power of arcane spells

| Aug 18, 2018 at 9:16 | comment | added | nick012000 | @Marq That's because a +1 Quarterstaff isn't a Staff. A Rod of the Pact Keeper or Immovable Rod is still a Rod, so it should be able to be used as a spellcasting focus. | |

| Aug 18, 2018 at 8:55 | comment | added | Aguinaldo Silvestre | While it would be a yes for the immovable rod, it is not true for a +1 quarterstaff. At least according to Mike Mearls. "A magic staff can be used as a quarterstaff, unless its text says otherwise (see DMG, 140). It is a magic weapon." - Jeremy Crawford - Sage Advice | |
| Aug 18, 2018 at 8:48 | comment | added | Marq | @AguinaldoSilvestre Even an immovable rod, which has nothing to do with casting spells? Even a +1 quarterstaff? | |
| Aug 18, 2018 at 8:45 | comment | added | Aguinaldo Silvestre | Nor does any wand, but Jeremy Crawford said in the Sage Advice that every wand can be used as such. I believe the same applies to magical rods and staves. | |
