magic armor creation

[wargod]

We're having some issues with figuring out the creation rules
can someone tell me what the caster level needs to be to create boneless leather armor?

And please tell me how they came up with the number.
Is it just 9, 3 times the caster lvl?

Thx

The item is listed as CL 3. Therefore it should require a caster level of 3. However it also lists a requirement of having 5 ranks in 2 skills, so effectively the crafter needs to be 5th level. But if you are using the official rules you can ignore each requirement for adding 5 to the DC.

If you want it to have an enhancement bonus that is a separate caster level requirement, which must be 3x the bonus. Many GMs do not allow that requirement to be bypassed.
