For some reason, metallic quarterstaves are not the same BASIC random lootgen. They are different.

...which I think really seems arbitrary and uncool, but not only because it applies to my character. Off the top of my head, I don't think daggers are affected this way, which would be an equivalent nerf for the Vistani enhancement tree.
Yeah, I get it, but I don't have to like it. Maybe I'll do some more research and try to present a well-supported argument for this to the devs (if they listen). Wish me luck.

The only special metal quarterstaves I've seen have come from the Waterworks end reward, and are BtA. And not very often. I have a grand total of one each flametouched iron, silver and byeshk. No slots. The only lootgen quarterstaves I've seen, with or without red slots, are either wood or steel. I think the only special material quarterstaves with slots are named loot.
Come to think of it, I've never noticed a lootgen scepter that wasn't wood, either.
I have several two-handers (greataxe, greatsword, falchion) that are special metal with red slots - adamantine, silver, cold iron, flametouched iron. I've seen more adamantine and silver drop with red slots than cold iron or flametouched iron. Not that any drop often.
