I'm still learning stuff of Pathfinder (never played a game like this before). So, a dude wanna have a full armor made of mithril.
As I understood in the Core Rules Book, the steps I need to follow are:
1.- Set the price in silver (1500gp of full armor and 9000gp of mithral). So, in silver pieces we need 105000
2.- Check the DC, which is 19
3.- Pay 1/3 of the cost
4.- Do the craft.
As I understood, every week the player needs to make a die roll and check the 19. If he success, multiply the roll with 19 and the result is added to the total amount in silver (in this case 105000).
For example. If we consider the roll having a total of +12 bonus (various bonuses applied here), and every dice result of 15 (a total of 27), so 27*19=513. This is added to total in silver.
With this maths, to reach that number we need almost 205 weeks = almost 51 months = almost 4 years
...Is this ok? Did I understand good?
I mean, this time is enormous O.O
Any idea or advice?
Thanks a lot for your time guys.
Is this correct? - Yes.
Is this okay? - No. Mundane crafting is bonkers broken.
P.S.
A Level 9 Wizard makes it in 1 round with Fabricate.
your conclusion is correct, crafting doesn't actually work.
There are many houserules suggestions to fix this. Like keeping in GP instead of SP.

So if you wanted cheap armor in reasonable time, hire a caster to cast that spell on a bunch of material. then you're paying 1/3 + spellcasting fee (a few hundred gp I think) instead of full price ;)
