How expensive should it be to make a magic item for seeing through mist?


Advice


I have a suspicion I've seen magic items before that permit the wearer to see through fog and mist, but I can't remember where, and I've never seen an item that does *only* that. But I would really like my crafting air elementalist wizard to make an item that does exactly that, i.e. let him see through things like obscuring mist and fog cloud. (Once he's flying at will, when the situation allows for it I intend to whip up an obscuring mist in the air and then rain down death from above while the enemy can't see me.) So, the question: how much should a magic item cost that allows the wearer to see through mists? Assume it's a slotted Wondrous Item, probably eyes, head, or neck; I'm imagining I'll probably add the ability to eyes of the eagle or a necklace of adaptation. I'd also be interested in what level wizard spell people think it would be to make oneself able to see through mists for, say, 1 minute/level. Thoughts?


There are 2 items that do what you want:
1) Goz mask
2) Fogcutting Lenses

If neither of them suit you, you can use them to make up a price for the one you want.


That's very helpful, thanks! Interesting that the lenses cost the same as the mask, but the mask gives you a couple of substantial additional benefits while the lenses give you a significant penalty. A bit of inconsistency there. Guess which one I'll be using!


Yeah I saw the Fogcutting Lenses for the first time and got all excited about a cheaper version of the Goz Mask. Then I looked it up and saw that they were the same price. >.>


The difference being the mask is a head slot(no intelligence headband if thats whats you want) and the goggles are face.

This isn't correct anymore. Ultimate Equipment established that head and headband are separate slots.


Yup. So I'll be kitting out with my goz mask, eyes of the eagle, and headband of vast intelligence, baby. My head's going to be one big intel machine!
