My character is a member of the Pathfinder Society and I eventually want to get him a wayfinder. I had thought I might design my own using the rules for item creation. I figured that the wayfinder component itself had a cost so I reverse engineered it based on the rules given to determine what that cost would be. However, when I did that the math didn't add up. The Ebon wayfinder cost less than creating a similar item without the wayfinder component. The Wayfinder of passage seemed to cost more than its none wayfinder counterpart.

Ebon Wayfinder price = 18,000gp
Darkness 1/day: 2[spell level]* 3[caster level]*1800[command word activation]* (1/5)[charges per day/5]*2[no body slot]*.75[similar ability discount]=3240

Darkvision continuous: 2[spell level]* 3[caster level]* 2000[constant use]* 2 [no body slot]= 24,000

total= 27,240gp

Wayfinder of Passage price = 136,000
Dimension Door 1/day: 4[sl] *7[CL]*1800[command]*(1/5)[charges per day/5]*2[no body slot]=20,160gp
Feather Fall constant: 1[sl]*1[CL]*2000[constant]*2[no body slot]=4000gp
Knock constant:2[sl]*3[CL]*2000[constant]*2[no body slot]=24000gp
Resist Energy constant, sort of:2[sl]*3[CL]*2000[constant]*2[no body slot]=24000gp

total=72,160gp

Long explanation, I know, but I am hoping I simply forgot some rule. I want to design a different wayfinder, but if i don't know how they are priced I can't go to my GM with my ideas.

I am drawing up an 8th level Fighter (he's actually a convert from a different setting) and had several questions about how Armor Training effected certain feats and abilities. In particular: Endurance and the Barbarian class Fast Movement. Depending on how the story unfolds he might end up with a couple levels of Barbarian.

Endurance states "You may sleep in light or medium armor without getting fatigued."
Fast movement states "This benefit applies only when she is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor, and not carrying a heavy load."

The reduced check penalty and removing the movement penalty seems to imply that the fighters treat medium and (at 7th lvl) heavy armor as if it was at least one stage lower (or more) much like the description for Mithral armor. I could always go with Mithral full plate, but if it is just going to be redundant I would prefer to spend my gold elsewhere.

I could argue both sides of this question, so I was hoping to get some kind of official ruling. I don't want to munchkin my character, but I don't want to short change him either.
