So I have a Level 8 PC coming in to replace my current character in the party and I rolled a Sorcerer. I will be starting with 33,000 GP and am also going to be the party crafter via Craft Wondrous Item. However I cannot start myself off with crafted gear so what is a Sorcerer to buy to get started on her adventuring career while holding enough gold back to start crafting for herself?
Cloak of Resist +1
Ring of Protection +1
Some Lesser Rods
Idk what else yet until I can craft cheaply. Thanks in advance =)

Kits are a cheap way to get things every character should have. I suggest a Pathfinder's kit or the one appropriate for class. Maybe both.
I also would always suggest the Traveller's Any-Tool and the Sleeves of Many Garments. Both are very cheap and very good to have. Don't forget infinite light sources and the fact that you have 10 GP to buy clothes with bonuses with.

Ioun torch or continual torch, whichever you like better.
Check with your GM if you're going to need crafting tools other than the Traveler's Anytool; if so, make sure you get the good stuff. Don't settle for cheap imported Tian knockoffs.
Silken Ceremonial Armour is intrinsically cool to have as a caster, and can carry enchantments too if you're not in the mood for bracers of armour.

Mnemonic vestments Is also suprisingly difficult to create your self because of CL 17 and the required spell, Mnemonic Enhancer which is a wizards only level 4 spell.
Mnemonic vestments are a useful tool to have around for spontaneous casters - they let you cast from a written source using one of your spell slots, so it gives you better access to some of the rarely-used niche spells that it's hard to justify taking as spells known.

Yeah its tough but you can cheat a little.
5 + Item CL + 5*(Missing Requirements)
5 + 17 + 5
DC27 and 3 Days (2500 GP)
8 Ranks of Spellcraft
3 Trained bonus
2 Circumstance (50 GP Tool)
1 Intelligence
+14 Bonus total
Ignoring Traits due to gameness and enhancement bonus as he will most likely want a Charisma band
With a Take 10 on Crafting you can hit 24 out of the 27 required... Not that hot. BUT!
- If you have a Familiar (Bloodline Familiar or from Arcane / Serpentine Bloodline) you can have them Aid you for an additional 2, putting you up to 26/27, so you can wait a level or have a wee higher Int / Trait bonus etc
- If you have the Impossible Bloodline you can ignore the +5 DC and change the whole formula to 24/22 and get it now
- This Amulet can easily push you to what you need as well.
Some of this stuff he may want anyway if he wants to be the party crafter.
Post got cut off pre-edit
OT: Some items I highly recommend include mundane things such as:
- Masterwork Tools (50 GP a pop for a special circumstance), as they help shore up your general lack of Intelligence
- A couple of Quick Runner's Shirts
- Once you get Crafting the Robe of Arcane Heritage is very balling
-One of my favourite Caster item, the Feather Step Slippers
Nothing like 5 foot stepping in your own difficult terrain early on and not having enemies follow you with Full Rounds Yes I know Fly comes soon, but these have saved me numerous times before

The CL on Wonderous items is not a requirement. The CL requirement is the level required to cast the spell, which is tricky since it is a Wizard-only spell, and it is a requirement to be a spontaneous caster.

What is your bloodline? Check out the Robes of Arcane Heritage.
Arcane Bloodline.
I actually forgot to list the Mnemonic Vestment on my items to get. And forgot all about the that Robe. I've been playing martials for a while so my "magic toy box"of ideas went out the window a while back haha.
