Creating Items and Time

[sgtrocknroll]

During adventure paths, particularly Carrion Crown, there isn't a whole lot of time for a Crafter to create magic items.

Our GM won't allow crafting while adventuring, the slow process, to make up for it, so our crafter wizard, while flavorful is virtually useless at what he does.

Is there a magic item out there that can cut time down on crafting of magic items?

Ask to rebuild that particular character. CC just isn't a craft-friendly adventure path.

I think APs should have a disclaimer in the player's guide about whether there'll be sufficient downtime or not, so that people can take this in account when coming up with characters. Since those disclaimers are missing, the GM should try to fill the gap, through advance warning ("you probably won't have a lot of time to use CWI; you'd better take another feat instead"), or post-accident fixing (swapping out for a more useful feat).
