Various Potions Question

So I'm looking on d20pfsrd.com at Potions.
I see that the potions, Shillelagh, Enlarge, and Mage Armor are only 50gp. Is that truly correct? It seems awfully cheap...

This is the Website Page I'm perusing.


They follow the formula.

"level of the spell × the creator's caster level × 50 gp."

All are level 1 spells, which by default are cast at CL 1. So 1*1*50 = 50 gp.

Now they get somewhat expensive real quick if you want to make them really worthwhile (since Mage Armor will never last more than an hour and Enlarge/Shillelagh only a minute).

Having a Mage Armor that lasts all day (CL 8) like someone could actually cast costs you 400 gp a pop.

Level 1 potions are meant to be cheap.


Yeah, that's correct. Though Shillelagh would be an oil.

Whoa. I'm definitely putting Rich Parents and those Mage Armor potions to good use then! That'll help a lot in the early levels. This is definitely what I was looking for.

Thanks guys. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting excited for nothing.
