Wayfinder Enhancements

[Hawkeye127]

I was just wondering if someone could give me a ruling on putting enhancements on specific wayfinders. For example, could you take a Shining Wayfinder and then spend the 2PP needed to add the "Holy Symbol" enhancement to it, or can you only add enhancements to regular wayfinders?

You can't do either.

You can only buy items as they are in the book. So no enchanting wayfinders... AT ALL.

[Hawkeye127]

No, I meant the wayfinder enhancements that are offered on page 62 of the "Pathfinder Society Field Guide".

I'm very sure that you can only get those enhancements for the standard wayfinder.

Unless you take it as a Bonded Item.

Been asked before....

The answer is no

That doesn't change anything. Even Bonded Items have to be those that conform to out of the book purchases. You can't make a custom item by any means, even as an Arcane Bond.

That seems to not make any sense with language used to describe the "Inherited" Wayfinder Enhancement in the Pathfinder Society Primer p29 which implies the idea of stacking Inherited + Other.

Inherited (3 PP): A mentor or older relative who was a Pathfinder passed this wayfinder down to you, and it keeps a minor enchantment from its previous owner. When purchasing a wayfinder enhancement that would normally replace the wayfinder’s ability to cast light with the ability to cast a different spell, the wayfinder retains the ability to cast light, allowing it to cast two different 0-level spells.

Seeing as the ruling is from 2011 it may need to get updated.

I don't understand your reasoning in that post.

Inheritor vanity does not allow you to stack 2 different Wayfinder Enhancement Vanities, It just allows you to keep the Light spell when you get an enhancement that replaces Light.

It does not change what Mark said in the past in any way.

But it takes a Wayfinder Enhancement to get a different spell on the Wayfinder, so you are stacking that enhancement with the Inherited enhancement...

This was already ruled on, actually - Inherited can get you two different spells on one Wayfinder. If that's a bog standard Wayfinder, that's Light and Something Else.

If you also spend the Prestige for a Jade or Shining Wayfinder and get Inherited, you get both benefits.

Keep in mind, there's nothing keeping you from owning multiple Wayfinders...you just can't use more than one.

Say what? You can't use more than one for Ioun stone resonance effects, but I don't see anything preventing you from having and using multiple wayfinders for different non-resonance effects.

So to clarify, I can either get a regular wayfinder and spend the 2pp to have it shaped into the holy symbol of my deity or I can just get a shining wayfinder. I can't get a shining wayfinder and then spend the 2pp to have the shining wayfinder shaped into a holy symbol, correct?

[Davick]

This still needs addressing since the ability of the confirmation chronicle is worded as to imply one can in fact get multiple enhancements on a single wayfinder (even if only the one from the confirmation).
