Most magic items are required to be masterwork before being enchanted. UE has the Agile Alpenstock (a gnarled wooden walking stick) wich can explicitly be wielded in combat as a quarterstaff.
It would recieve a +1 to hit (but not to damage) because it must be masterwork, correct ?
That sounds right to me. I'd let that fly if I was GM'ing
The magic on the staff isn't combat magic, it's an enhancement to speed and CMD. I was just double-checking that when you use it in combat as a quarterstaff, you get the +1 to hit for it being masterwork, as if it was a masterwork quarterstaff with no magic on it.

The masterwork requirement is only for armor, shields, and weapons. Is it a magic weapon, or is it a wondrous item?
It's a slotless wondrous item, page 276 in the UE.
In that case, seriphim, could you pay the additional cost of a masterwork staff to get a masterwork agile alpenstock ?

"A quarterstaff is a simple piece of wood, about 5 feet in length."
Given that it can be wielded as a quarterstaff, and that a quarter staff is a long stick. I see no reason it wouldn't work. You look good.
Unless this is PFS. You can make no changes to magic items in PFS so you can't do that there.
Ya, PFS is why I was hoping it was automatically masterwork due the the fact that you need to start with a masterwork item for most (see Grick's post) items.
