I'm running a game for a group and everything has gone fine up until now. One of the players wants to hire a wizard to fashion a new magic item. He wants an item for his eyes that gives him the effects of True Sight and Greater Arcane Sight as long as he wears them.
I have a good enough grasp of how to create magic items that if it was a weapon or armor there wouldn't be a problem... but I've never tried to crunch the numbers for a wondrous item (at least I assume this item would be one) to keep the numbers balanced.
A quick glance at the SRD puts (if I understand the calculations) the base cost of the item at 441,000 gold... so I think I'm not getting the gist of everything when it comes to creating wondrous items.
So, would this item be within reason, or would the power granted by it push it in the range of "artifacts" and shouldn't be achievable? Right now I don't see the item breaking the plot and events set up for the adventure, unless the player sees something through this combination that I missed.
Now, if the party's wizard offered to craft this item, would there be an xp cost tied to it like there is with scrolls?
