Crafting Channel foci

[anon fem]

How does one go about this? especially if its something like a weapon?

Good question.
I'd guess the craft skill depending on the item with a somewhat increased difficulty.
I could see channel energy and being a follower of the god it refers to as a prerequisite.

So for a sword with which a follower of iomedae can channel I would say craft weapons, channel energy class feature, follower of iomedae.

I really need a RAW based solution for this.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want the feat Create Reliquary Arms and Shields, which allows you to turn a weapon or shield into a symbol of your deity, meaning it can be used to channel or bolster consecrate/desecrate.

This says nothing about channel foci, but it's a pretty good item regardless. I wish i had the feats to spare to take this, as my channel dice are my strongest method of attack. No one shares my deity either.

Channel Foci, as per Adventurer's Armory and Faiths of Balances, are listed in the Goods and Services. It also states they are completely nonmagical without a channel in them. Thus, without any other rules, they would follow the crafting rules per mundane equipment as normal, like a holy symbol.

Few ranks in craft should be enough.
