So lets say I have an item, and it tells me that it looks like an ordinary item carved from whale bone. How would I know? Does whale bone look different than say elephant bone or t-rex bone?
Don't all of your characters have ranks in Knowledge (nature)?

To an expert ... yes?

Blarg! I should start prepping dinner.
I DON'T WANNA!
Of course, I don't want to go to work tonight, either.
But, it pays for the Paizo books....
Work also pays for pizza deliveries, so you can spend more time voting.
New item! New item!
*does the Snoopy Dance again*
New Item!

*starts taking notes*
Tears ... halfling ... children... cure cancer.
I feel an awesome item for next year coming on!
And there you are again, my beautiful, guilty pleasure, favorite item!
AAAAH! I remember that one!
(The one I posted ... I have to listen to once a week.)
AHHHH When I was in the first grade we had to do and exercise dance to this song.
Pinball or dolphin flippers?
Pinball dreams.
And there you are again, my beautiful, guilty pleasure, favorite item!
Halfling tears? :) Damn you're quick.

My mom found this one for my sister when she was in 1st grade.
I think she STILL has that 45!

You're serious? Dammit I cant even make original jokes! Im going to fail at this item creating business.
*stops her feet*
Come on! I want Marathon, darn it!
Well ...I do have Friday off work.

Ah! I have an item I made last year for this year's RPGSS ... and promptly forgot about it ....
I could work with it. Indeed I could.
Oh look, another item used for storing spells.
You're serious? Dammit I cant even make original jokes! Im going to fail at this item creating business.
*pssst* Wayfinder #11... Cheliax issue... Nobles curing their diseases with halfling slaves' tears.
Drejk was nudging people to submit items for Wayfinder #11.
Yup. I wasn't saying there is such item... I was only implying that Cheliaxian nobles would pay for it.
A new item. And I had to vote it down. Over the item that I had previously considered to be the stupidest item I'd seen (and which I'd voted down at least five times).
I have a legit question:
Some of these items (in the description) use some pretty far-off and rare things. Is the cost of the raw components factored into the price? It seems like you just need a few feats + the spells to make something that is described as a treant crying into a pool of the innards of a virgin Druid all contained in a sea-blue gem the size of a bowling ball.
And yet another "Grill". Can I not have real life in my pathfinder game plz?

Technically, it's a misstep. The cost of rare ingredients should already be factored into the creation price.
Also, the more strait-jacketing an item is via description, the less utility it has for a broader swath of games.

Unless there is a specific requirement listed in requirements line all the fancy ingredients (like "this item is made of diamond-studded mithril") in the description are considered part of the normal item creation costs.

Another thing on my auto-reject list. I'll vote for a cloak giving me 4 extra hands, barbarian rage, and a complete mind-wipe (no save) before voting for one of those.
No offense to the ones that designed them, but its completely antithetical to the type of game I want.

Just for the record, I tend to vote against memory modification items just on general principle. Unless its paired up against something I dislike as a GM even more.
I agree, although Terah's charlatan class has a level 16 ability called "Alibi" that works a little on that premise. If done right, it can be a lot of fun. The main key, I think, is limiting it in a way that makes it useful, but at the same time doesn't mess over the target.

Cool, thanks for the clarification. I just wish ultra-unique components (like those from other creatures) were as important as the spells/feats used to create them.

I have to think, would I, if I was a player, think this item was cool when it was used against me, or would it just be a pain to deal with both in and out of game.

Pizza.
In addition to removing certain musical anomalies from my head, I'm hoping it will soothe my manly fixing things ego for busting the garbage disposal while fixing the sink.
And then back to voting. The Marathon title is still very doable, but there's no way I'm doing the 360/day necessary for Champion.

Oooh, impressive one there!

That's a GM decision, or should be, concerning how much to go into detail about such things. Again, the price/cost already reflects the need for dragon-skin/what-have-you, and the market price of the same. Now, the way to work with this, in-game, imo, is to allow the PCs, when they find a rare ingredient, to use that ingredient in place of a certain amount of gold when doing item creation, and some adventures even reflect this. As when a PC finds a lab with rare spices, skins and ingredients which allow for 2000 gp worth of item creation.

Either I or this designer doesn't know what a "nocked" arrow is.
EDIT: Turns out it's me!
S'okay. The message boards don't know that nocked is a word.
