Equipment can play a large role in a campaign at times. Certain types of equipment have been put forth but the tools to allow GMs to make/create them can be lacking. Especially when it comes to the Gp cost (which can be used to measure relative power).
For example, the preparation rituals for preconstructioned spellbooks in Ultimate Magic don't explain where the pricing comes from. Considering that PCs can and do create their own spellbooks, this oversight feels a tad disappointing. Personally I combine the guidelines for crafting Wonderous items, Scrolls and dynamic magic items (representing discoveries and theorems of their creators).
On the other hand, I don't have a clue about the dungeon guides from the Dungeoneers Handbook. I just don't understand how they priced those. If anyone knows, please feel free to let me know.
Are there over forms of equipment or services that appear oddly priced in Pathfinder?
