Is the 10% for 500 gold for a single purchase, or for a year after being redeemed?

Others keep mentioning 10% for Master, which is not listed. That would make the 500 gold for 10% off obsolete, since you'd have twice what's needed for Master level in the year that the gold would expire.

So, I'm a bit confused by the 10% off chatter.

1) I wish that I had read this post last month. I would've waited for my past 2 purchases, because I'd be at 500+ gold. (Caught up on some missed Adventures with their PDFs.) Kinda sucks. I was going to clear out my wish-list tonight, but looks like that'll wait for next week so I get my gold. (Wish I could clear my side-cart, and just buy them in the new system since it isn't paid for yet.)

2) I'm glad that I can toggle my subscriptions easily! I rarely get accessories, but GM screens and the Combat boards were nice. Having the PDF versions of similar products in the future means I'll be doing the random toggling of the Accessories, just to get the bonus PDF. ;)

3) It looks like I'll get 15% off of PFS Scenarios, and then apply the $10 credits. So, any extra credit will mean I'll start collecting the back-logs of those with the change. (I'm a gotta-have-em-all kind of guy). It also means that I'll end up waiting 3-6 months before getting them so I can maximize the "change" for back-issues.

When the rewards are tied to going on media platforms that one reasonably does not feel safe on and could actively imperil one's existence to get some e-coin, that's a problem.

I'm sorry, I get the meaning behind the outrage. Twitter has devolved into a platform that rewards awful people, grifters, and many people who are truly horrific to those I love and wish to protect in my life. But Paizo isn't endorsing those terrible people in any way by having an official account on what is still one of the (if not THE) top-used social media platforms, and rewarding customers who follow their actual account and not any of the numerous other imposter accounts there could be on there. And they're especially not endorsing any said actions when the reward is a measly 5 gold that can be gotten easily in other ways.

I don't use X, Instagram, and don't even have a BlueSky account.

At this time I'm clamoring for errata of LO: AG, since addiction of elements mostly affected to non-dualborn suli, and migration of Aasimar and Tiefling (possibly Aphrorite and Ganzi also) to Nephrim.

Will Dualborn be opened to Wood and Metal as well?

Just so you know that post you're responding to is from 2 years ago.

Doh! hahahaha.

After reading it the third time, he already noted it'd only work at 7th level since he can't add other bonuses.

:walks away sheepishly:

Can anyone do better? Would there be any issues with this working as discribed?

Assurance uses ONLY your proficiency bonus!

"Choose a skill you’re trained in. You can forgo rolling a skill check for that skill to instead receive a result of 10 + your proficiency bonus (do not apply any other bonuses, penalties, or modifiers)."

This is your Level + Trained/Expert/Master/Legendary.

So, using Assurance usually only succeeds on skill checks that have a Level-based DC of 2-4 levels lower than the character.

Level 7 & 8 Master can use Assurance for the base DC for their level, using the Level-Based DC chart on P503.

As for Fortune (and Misfortune) effects not applying to downtime activities, it is only listed under the Rituals rules and nowhere else. Possibly, a first-draft hold-over that didn't get removed. Downtime in Core Rulebook, and Gamemastery Guides do not state anything. (Using Archives of Nethys for quick-reference.)

So... Since the items that provide Equipment bonuses are all Common, and there's a feat that could allow you to take on jobs of a specific focus (which no/few other skills have); then it's safe to say Crafting is still the best way to make money. Though, the cost of the equipment would FAR out-strip the money you'd make in a few weeks (if not months).

Level
+ 2/4/6/8 proficiency (min levels 1/3/7/15)
+ 1/2/3 from Equipment (min item levels 3/9/17)
+ 1/2 circumstance from Specialty (min level 1/7)
+ Int bonus (4/5/6 at 1/10/20)
++ Impeccable Crafting would bump your income to the next level of the job on all successes.

Equipment (assuming basic artisan tools, 4gp, are provided by employer): Crafter's Eyepiece 60gp, Tradecraft Tattoo 700gp (+2), Tradecraft Tattoo 13,000gp (+3) (Though, for 2K gp more, you can get an Apex Artificer's Spectacles with +2 Int).

What you said looks right. Though, it's also true for 8th level as well.
Though, most other levels it'd be better to roll for a success. (Level-appropriate gear, and other bonuses at max would still get 15% failure rate.)
