The Create Gear power of the wizard's Creation sub-school reads:
I'm planning to use this ability in PFS, but I can't find any guide to what the Craft DCs might be (or even which craft skill to use for various items!) I'm planning on making mostly tools - will Craft (Tool) basically cover everything, or will I need more specific craft skills?
For example, how can I estimate the approximate DC for:
Hammer (5 sp)
Mirror (10 gp)
Masterwork Thieves' Tools (100 gp)
Spyglass (1000 gp)
I think this is a really neat ability in principle, but the fact that it seems to be deliberately vague is making it difficult to foresee how it will play out in PFS! Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm very keen on trying out this character!

Well the rule for the subschool specifically says that any craft DC is up to GM discretion. So you can't really expect to know ahead of time what they'll be. This is just going to be one of those things that's risky to use in PFS, I'm afraid.

You could try looking at the craft skill itself, specifically the last 4 lines of the DC table.
Very simple item (wooden spoon) DC 5
Typical item (iron pot) DC 10
High-quality item (bell) DC 15
Complex or superior item (lock) DC 20

Personally, I'd set the bar a little higher than that. For something like a spyglass, which requires precise, calculated dimensions, I think a DC of 30 is more appropriate. A lock (or even a bell for that matter) contains moving parts, so it would be impossible.
