I cant seem to find a +1 wand with the implement keyword. Am i missing something? Is there an "official" name i need to search for?

Seems there is a bug in the builders search feature (or the data).  Do the following:

In the builder, go to "Get Equipment".
Click the "Find Equipment" tab.
Click "Advanced".
In "Search for this:" put "Wand"
Check the box for "Use Level Range" and use 1/1 (min/max)
Click search

You'll get 5 wands back, one of which is a plain +1 magic wand.

If you go back to "Advanced" and select "Item Category" as Implement, and "Item Subcategory" as Wand, you'll only get 4 wands back.

All that aside, Wands don't have keywords.  Implement is a category like "Weapons".  Powers have keywords (like "Implement") that tell you what category of item the power can gain bonuses from.

OK, thanks. on the old characgter builder, with this character the main attack would be (ability-Magic Missile) with the attack and the damage of the magic missle + the wand.

Now its showing the basic attack as being a longsword, even though the wand is equipped. Minor detail, but it helps when you  want to double check the damage. 

So with  an Int of 20, lvl 3, and a +1 wand, magic missle should be 2d4+6 damage, correct? Or +7? 
+5 for Int
+1 for 1/2 lvl
+1 for wand?

EDIT: Reading now in essentials its just 2 + int, so that would be 7 damage, plus 1 for the wand. PH has it as 2d4 + int, so that would be +5 , then +1 for wand.
