Pg. 200 - Staff of slumber

The price on this guy is actually correct, but the cost isn't. When your staff has a costly material component (like this staff's symbol of sleep does), you take the amount of material components used to create it ([mats x 50]/# of charges to cast), subtract it from the price, divide this value by 2, then add the material component costs back in.

In this case, the cost should be changed to 49,216 gp.

Pg. 201 - Staff of speaking

Ok, this staff was clearly meant to be created by a bard. Most staves whose highest spell was 5th level (like mass suggestion is here) would require CL 9th, but because the bard isn't a full-caster, he can't cast 5th-level spells until CL 13th.

This would make this a CL 13th staff, with a price of 57,200 gp and a cost of 28,600 gp.

Also note this would bump this staff up into the Greater Major staff category.

Now, even if a bard were to get some help from his sorcerer/wizard buddy with mass suggestion (which would then be treated as a 6th-level spell), the cheapest this staff could be made would still be CL 11th, price 50,600 gp, cost 25,300 gp.

This WOULD keep it in the Lesser Major staff category, though.

Pg. 201 - Staff of stealth

They forgot to factor in the costs of the material components for the nondetection spell. Price should be 39,300 gp while cost is 20,900 gp.

Pg. 203 - Staff of understanding

This staff's price and cost are wrong. It looks like they factored in comprehend languages as if it cost 2 charges to cast instead of 1. The correct price and cost are 17,600 gp and 8,800 gp, respectively.

Pg. 203 - Unholy staff

This one's kinda funny, actually.

When writing down the cost of this thing, someone swapped the 4 and 8.

The actual cost is 18,400 gp, which would make the price 36,800 gp.

Pgs. 194 - 202 - Various "school" staves

The staves of abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy, and transmutation are special for a number of reasons. First of all, they're relic items from D&D's 3.0 and 3.5 PHB. Second, they pretty much throw out the rules of staff creation and instead are all set at an identical price for the sake of uniformity. For MOST of these staves, the price and cost listed in the core rulebook is almost correct (only 100 gp off price-wise and 50 gp off cost-wise). For those GMs that are either sticklers like me for accuracy, or have a player who did the math his or herself and wonders why he has to pay more (or less in some cases) to make one, here are the actual prices and costs of these staves:

Pg. 200 - Staff of size alteration

Like the school staves mentioned above, this staff's price and cost were rounded to a "neat" number, a practice that was abandoned by the time the staves in the APG were released.

Actual price and cost are 26,132 gp and 13,066 gp, respectively.

Pg. 197 - Staff of fire

Again, this staff's price and cost were rounded to a "neat" number.

Actually price and cost are 18,932 gp and 9,466 gp, respectively.

Pg. 197 - Staff of frost

And again, this staff's price and cost were rounded to a "neat" number.

Price and cost are 41,332 gp and 20,666 gp, respectively.

Additionally since the highest spell level is 5th, this staff could be made cheaper at CL 9th (Price: 37,200 gp / Cost: 18,600 gp)

Pg. 203 - Unholy staff

This one's kinda funny, actually.

When writing down the cost of this thing, someone swapped the 4 and 8.

The actual cost is 18,400 gp, which would make the price 36,800 gp.

Sorry everyone, ignore this. The only person who screwed up was me. I forgot to count magic circle against good as costing 2 charges to cast. The listed values in the book are correct.

Additional Magic Items

For those of you who follow these errata threads to update your books, below is a listing of all magic items that didn't make it into Ultimate Equipment (most likely due to space constraints). I only included those items from the RPG series of books. I've also included what category of item they belong in, in case you want to include them as a possible result whenever randomly generating treasure.

Pg. 225 - Goggles of elvenkind

This may not be an error, but I just wanted to point out that every other [blank] of elvenkind item (boots, cloak, gloves) has an additional requirement in their construction that the creator must be an elf, but not the goggles.

I will confess that I haven't read the whole thread, and it's a minor error, but my name is spelled wrong on page 387...

I made a note in my copy :)

Pgs. 48 & 49 - Blood crystal

At the price it sells for, one would think that an item crafted from blood crystal would always be masterwork, but it doesn't say. Since it doesn't say, however, we can't be sure...

While updating the Loot Divider tool with the new UE materials, I came across the same issue.

FAQed!
http://TheOnlySheet.com

p. 66 Harrow Deck and p. 77 - Fortune-Teller's Deck:

The Harrow Deck is 100gp and weighs "-", but the Masterwork Fortune-Teller's Deck costs 50 gp and weighs 1 lb (with even a cheap common one weighing 1/2 lb).

Furthermore, the Fortune-Teller's Deck provides a +2 bonus to Profession(fortune-teller), and similar skills, but the Harrow Deck makes no mention of this.

I think the best solution is to decide which is correct and simply remove the other item entirely.

I also have issues with this.

The fighter weapon groups in Ultimate equipment don't match the weapon groups in Ultimate Combat. Cestus for instance is listed as a close weapon in UC and not in UE. Not sure if this is an errata for UC or UE but thought I should mention it.

I removed some posts (and replies to them) that do not belong in this thread.

thank you

Yes, i was waiting for this. Thanks for dealing with it.

I'm just posting to inquire about when we'll see an official document (errata, FAQ, etc.) published on these. It's been quite a while since this thread was started and it looks like most of the main problems have been discovered.

I feel this information needs to be more prominent on the website by now and not buried in the forums where many people might not think to look. Not to mention organization and portability. I know the dev team stays pretty busy, but if you can only get to the big mechanical issues like errors in the generation tables, and mislabeled prices and weights that's OK. I don't think most players are going to go ballistic because of a redundant word or non-italicized item title.

For now the only published FAQ is that about the Ring of Continuation.
The original ruling was posted in a blog published the 9/11/12 and the FAQ update was published the 15/3/13, that give you an idea of the time needed to finally formalize that kind of decision.

You can find the book FAQs with the link in the high right corner of the forum. Now that Paizo is trying to update the FAQs more regularly it is a good idea to check it at least once month.

Invisible Ink

In a hurry so no time to put the page number like I usually do, but in Alchemical Tools section, the Craft (alchemy) DCs for creating average invisible ink and good invisible ink are the same (20). this may not be an error, but in case it is there you go.

Alright, I do understand how much work it takes and the possible length of development cycles. I was just hoping for some better news than this.

*Puts on rubber gloves and waders to prepare for some forum slogging*

Could be worse! At least we have Cheapy's list of dev comments, which cuts it down to a mere 500 things to read. ;)

Ring of Spell Storing (page 174): The major and minor ring both say "As the minor ring of spell storing, except..."

Dont know if anyone else notice this but
Trail Rations are 5 sp
Dwarf Elf and Gnome are 2 GP
Orc rations are 1 gp
Hafling Ration are just 1 sp and sound way more yummy then Trail Ration.
And since there no penalty for eating other peoples ration why not have humans buy Hafling Rations?

And since there no penalty for eating other peoples ration why not have humans buy Hafling Rations?

It's the same reason you don't eat those low-fat potato chips. Have you read the label? Side effects include "anal leakage".... brrrr!

I have read the label though, and Hafling Ration sound much better then Regular Trail Ration. Hafling do know how to eat.

It's probably a mistake and should be 2 GP. That's how much it says it costs in the table on page 95.

Pgs. 56 & 58 - Astrolabe table entry and description

Is there any reason why the astrolabe went from being a 100 gp item in APG to a 1,000 gp item in UE?

Just noticed that the astrolabe is also listed with a 100 gp price tag in Player Companion: Pirates of the Inner Sea.
