Creating staves with low level spells

[LukeZ]

If you create a new Staff capable of "casting" a 2nd level spell, the spellcaster level used to calculate the cost can be the 3 (minimum level to cast 2nd level spells) or it must be 11 (minimum level to create a staff)?

The minimum caster level of a staff is 8. (pg.553 core rules)
