Hi all,
I was thinking to create a staff for my level 11 wizard, and I was thinking about making my own spell selection in it, so I tried to understand how it works the "staff creation pricing"
I already read the creation staff rules more than a couple of times, but I think I don't get it right.
For example: Staff of Evocation creation cost is 41.000 gp (Core Rulebook magic item pag 493). And it has:
L1: Magic Missile (1 charge)
L2: Shatter (1 charge)
L3: Fireball (1 charge)
L4: Wall of force (2 charges)
L5: Ice Storm (2 charges)
L6: Chain lightning (3 charges)
Level 6 spells can be cast at 11 level so if I create it using the maths of the creation staff as if it is a custom staff. It should be something like this:
400 x 6 x 11 / 3 = 8800 >> 100% >> 8800 gp
300 x 5 x 11 / 2 = 8250 >> 75% >> 6187,5 gp
200 x 4 x 11 / 2 = 4400 >> 50% >> 2200 gp
200 x 3 x 11 / 1 = 6600 >> 50% >> 3300 gp
200 x 2 x 11 / 1 = 4400 >> 50% >> 2200 gp
200 x 1 x 11 / 1 = 2200 >> 50% >> 1100 gp
That's a total of 23.787,5 gp and I see no costly materials to add on...
... so ¿where do i go wrong? Because clearly 23.787,5 gp is not 41.000 gp
THANKS for any help.
