Magic item creation question

[Thane36425]

I was looking over the rules again the other day and I noticed that item creation can be hurried for a +5 penalty. That means 8 hours of work can be completed in 4. Two questions.

1. Could a character use this twice in a day, reach the 8 hours maximum, and effectively complete 2 days worth of work in one day?

2. This will depend on question 1 being yes. If it isn't then this question is moot. There is a feat that allows for rapid item creation, 2,000 gpv per day instead of 1,000 gpv. Would the character still be able to rush their work and also then double up to effectively work 4 days in a single day?

My reading of this is yes, you can get more work done. One of the problems with high-end item creation is time. Sure, you have the gold, but it's going to take two months to enchant that sword, and sometimes, the world needs saving.

Speeding things up gets the players out of the lab, and back in the adventure.

Thanks, Khuldar. Item creation times even for mundane items is rather long.
