Magic Item Creation: "(or fraction thereof)"


Rules Questions


I had a RAW question. My understanding of Magic Item Creation time is (ignoring rushed crafting for now):

Maximum 8 hours of work a day.
Normal crafting time is 8 hours per 1000gp (minimum 8 hours)
Potions or scrolls under 250gp crafting time: 2 hours

My understanding of...
"8 hours of work per 1,000 gp in the item's base price (or fraction thereof)"
...is that you have to round up the cost of any magic item to the nearest 1,000 gp for purposes of determining crafting time.

Therefore an item that has a base cost of 1250gp will take 16 hours.

Is that correct?

An item that has a sale cost of 1250gp (craft cost of 625gp) will take 2 days to craft or 8 hours a day across two days.
