IMO: unless you are taking that risk, then you don't get the benefit.

But would it count as fasting for the first 3 days that are required? Also, if you are bonding with a clear spindle ioun stone, does that just become a stone that you cannot bond with since having it active would automatically prevent you from truly fasting? Don't get me wrong, my character is not bonding with a clear spindle ioun stone, but I'm not going to say it isn't a future possibility... I just have an orange prism that is higher up the list.

I would say during the bonding process you probably don't have it actively affecting you. Normally for a ioun stone to be affecting you, it needs to orbit your head. And nothing about the bonding process implies it needs to be doing that.

Quote from source: "Binding a stone to a single owner is a lengthy process. To begin the ritual, the owner meditates with but a single stone in orbit around him."

I am playing a character who is about to have an ioun stone implanted, and part of the process involves fasting for between 3 and 8 days (min is 3, each extra adds a +1 to the charisma check at the end, max is +5). My character has a ring of sustenance and only eats or drinks socially, but does he count as fasting if he is wearing the ring for those 3 days? Along the same path, is it possible to implant a clear spindle ioun stone since it has the same "sustains the creature without food or water" that the ring of sustenance does?

it was, and since my craft bow check is 20 (10 ranks + 3 class + 3 int + 2 masterwork artisan's tools + 2 master craftsman feat) I think I can shave off even more days. Thank you for the break-down, it really helped!

crafting the bow, buying the scrolls. what would it be after taking into account buying the required scrolls?

the master craftsman feat uses ranks in the craft skill instead of a caster level. I would of course use scrolls for the spells required.
Is that affecting the dc, or is it due to something else?

the bow I would of course be making from its own materials.

.... okay, still confused. What I am working on creating is a:

+2 flaming, frost(ing), seeking, composite longbow (str rating +2) of distance.

I have the craft magic arms and armor feat, the master craftsman feat, 10 ranks in craft bow, and more than 100k gp. What is it going to cost to make, what do I need spell-wise, and is there anything else that I am missing?

what about adding in the master craftsman feat? and of course the part where they say:
"The DC to create a magic
item increases by +5 for each prerequisite the caster does not
meet. The only exception to this is the requisite item creation
feat, which is mandatory."

What about creating items with multiple special abilities?
Ex. a +2 flaming, shocking longbow of distance? Would it be 6 from the enhancement bonus (as the abilities are +1 each) or would you add up the abilities to 9?
