In page 43-44, there is a note about Ioun Stones Advancing in its strength:
Advanced Ioun Stones
Most ioun stones use the normal pricing rules for magic items; the major difference is that they all use the ×2 modifier for not using a magic item space on the body. For example, figuring out the price of upgrading a deep red sphere ioun stone from a +2 enhancement bonus to a +4 enhancement bonus is just a matter of using the formula (bonus squared × 1,000 gp × 2), which gives a final price of 32,000 gp; the difference between that and the standard item cost of 8,000 gp is 24,000 gp, so a qualified character with the Craft Wondrous Item feat can upgrade the stone by spending half that amount (12,000 gp) in materials.
With this, these are my questions:
- Can you use Advanced Ioun Stones in Pathfinder Society? It did not say in the Additional Resource PDF that restricts its use.
- If so, can you use Advanced Ioun Stones for Inferior (Cracked, Flawed) Ioun Stones? There is no note that says that you can not.
- If so, what would be the calculations on the price to purchase something that has a +1 (Competence) to a +2, +3, etc? Let us use the Cracked Dusty Rose (+1 Competence Bonus to Initiative, 500g)
Thanks.
Page 43-44. of what book?
Seekers of Secrets, I think
Ok I thought so. Just wanted to double check.
As far as I know you can't use them in PFS.

Here is the note for the Pathfinder Society Organized Play for the Additional Rulings for the Seeker of Secrets (sorry that I did not post where the ioun stones were from):
Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Seekers of Secrets
Everything in this book is legal for play with the following notes. Equipment: ioun stones use method 1 for resonance and never use method 2. Additionally, only normal ioun stones have resonance—inferior ioun stones never do. Prestige Class: Pathfinder Savants replace the item creation feat prerequisite with Spell Focus
Isn't there restrictions on Crafting Magical Items?
From my understanding is the Advanced Stones must be crafted. You can't just buy them.
I would say you could make Advanced Inferior Ioun Stones in a homegame though... Though it might be better to look into "upgrading" them into non-inferior versions first...
