I see that the formula is
Price = spell level × caster level × 2,000 × yield per day × growing season multiplier.
But I applied this to the Goodberry Bush and it comes out vastly different.
Goodberry 1st x Caster level 1 x 2,000, x 6 berries x year round 4 season = 48,000 gp. The Bush is only 8,000 though.
The Tree of Knowledge is Augury 2 x CL 3 x 2,000 x 2 apples x spring 1 = 24,000 maybe 12,000 since it is 1 apple of the 2 colors. But its price is 3,000.

Did they just not follow their rules? Am I missing something from their rules?

I am late to the party but my 2cents.

An animal with 3+ Int has the ability to gain any skill and any feat the animal can physically handle (DM gets final say).

If you choose linguistics as a skill the animal learns a language of your choice (you are most likely training the animal the language). The animal does not get to speak the language unless it has the vocal range to do so. A water based animal might be able to speak Aquan.

If linguistics is taken tricks are out the window. The point of a trick is to train an animal that do an action after a phase. If it understands you then no need for your phrase anymore, maybe exclusion and attack twice. You still need to do handle animal checks. Just because you can understand me doesn't mean you will listen. Your handle animal is just to make sure your animal is listening.
