Items to boost Knowledge checks?


Advice


Can anyone suggest PFS-legal items (magical or otherwise) to boost Knowledge checks? I've already got:

* Mossy Disk ioun (5k): +5 competence on one Knowledge type
* Clear Ear alchemical item: +2 alchemical on all Knowledges (among other effects)
* Four Leaf clover (3750gp): +2 luck on 3 checks/day (and I'm considering upgrading this to a Luckstone).
* Lore Needle (4k): 3/day to use my best Knowledge skill for any other Knowledge check.
* I also typically have extended Heroism going in many situations for another +2 morale.
* I also typically have extended Investigative Mind going to let me roll twice on Knowledge checks.

This is for a Seeker tier character (level 15) so I've got plenty of gold and my Knowledge checks are already pretty high, but I'd like to bump them even higher.

I believe that there's no Artisan's Tool for Knowledge checks, correct?

Anything else that I'm missing?

Azlanti Pendant

Pale Green Prism (+1 Competence to Skills, Ability checks, Attack rolls, and saves)


Pathfinder Chronicle. Basically a masterwork tool for a Knowledge skill. Nethys says it's legal, a quick check seems to say so but I'm too lazy to check page numbers.


Anything that boosts your Int will also boost knowledge checks.

Don't forget the value of "aid another", or of taking 20 if you have access to a library. (Depends on GM permission, but it would seem reasonable that a high-level character would be able to get into some library somewhere.)

Scarab Sages

Mask of a thousand tombs 10,000gp +10 to all knowledge skills, but blind while wearing.

also, not an item but Get Deific Obedience feat (Need K(religion) to 3 ranks ) Irori obedience gives +4 to all knowledge skills.


Stone of Good Luck 20,000

This small bit of agate grants its possessor a +1 luck bonus on saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks.


Pathfinder chronicles and Heightened Awareness.

All skills have an associated "tool," though application requirements vary. The chronicles, for example, take 1d4 full rounds to use.

Edit: "most" is more appropriate since some tools don't apply for all uses of a skill.

Straight out buffing intelligence always helps, but I imagine at level 15 you've got that as high as it is likely to readily get.
