Hey, it came up tonight while discussing with a friend that I may be doing the math incorrectly! So I have come here to ask.

Base crafting speed:
1k gp per 8 hour period.

I have valet Familiar doubles gp value of items to be crafted each day.
I have Arcane Builder Wondrous Items, craft these 25% faster than normal.
I always increasee DC by +5 to speed up crafting by 50%.
I have the 200 gp/50 gp favored class bonus from dwarf. At level 10 that gives me 2000gp/500 per day for wondrous items.

So if I apply the progress modifiers first..8-50%=4-25%=3 hours is my base which allows me to complete 2666gp per day in 8 hours. Before adding any other modifiers (is this correct?). At this point I would add the familiars gp value modifier and multiply it by 2.

I am now at 5332 per 8 hours. Bringing my up to a total of 7332 per 8 hours in an ideal location for crafting (My castle for example).

OR 9332 depending on when I add the 2000 gp from favored class...Which is the correct answer? Or am I just way off altogether?

Hello, this is my first post on the forums since I started playing pathfinder. I am a veteran playing from D&D 3.5, though I am still fairly new to PF.
With that said, I would like to tell you a story about my wizard. It's a short story, but I think it might solve your problem...maybe. =) So, my first or second session with pathfinder we were in major danger of being slain by a massive sea monster. We took passage on a pirate ship, and they ended up stealing some other pirates chests (x3). At any rate, being the crazy wizard that I am, our ship was going down, I used my familiar to retrieve one of the chests. I had to laugh, simply because it was bigger than him..but the DM went with it. Once we reached safety my buddy and I opened the chest...there was a lot of gold and ... A Deck of Many Things...

Excited and wary of the deck (because I know what it is...and my character has a very high knowledge arcana and spellcraft) he figured out what it was and heard stories of its rewards and its dangers. I felt lucky any way, I drew 4 cards. They ended up being pretty good, though some outsider hates me. My favorite "win" from that deck is my castle and 2 wishes. You know, with the castle you can chose where it is and you know exactly where it is...I took it one step further I wished for it to be a magical flying castle that would come to me on a command word spoken.

Okay so, that's my story, that is how we were able to achieve such a great base. Your players tower reminds me of a tower in one of the early Drizzt books, Masoj had a shrinking tower, I don't remember if it damaged anything when he made it grow, but it was a cool idea. I don't think it would be game breaking. Though I can see the difficulty of pricing it out. Check the ultimate campaign though, it has details on building biuldings...and a castle is one of the options...I believe a tower is in there as well...

The ultimate campaign is probably your go to book regarding the tower. As for the caster's tower option it looks like it is valued at about 4750 gp in goods and materials to build it. So just a thought.
