Crafting magic items with expensive spell components


Rules Questions


Does the cost for spell components factor into the crafting time?

If one wanted to make a 20 charge or 1/day lamp of wishes or whatever, would it take 20*25k=500k so 500 extra days over any other 1/day 9th level spell item?

The 20 charge example would be a yes based on the wording from the "wands section. From the PRD: " If the wand has a material component cost, it is added to the base price and cost to create once for each charge (50 × material component cost)."

I haven't looked up your second example yet as I'm at work...

Yes, it increases the cost and all associated things related like crafting time.

No you shouldn't make a 1/day Wish item, at any price less than Artifact - priceless.


As James yes, it increases everything as appropriate.

Also, 1/day wish is beyond what I would consider a major artifact.
