Greater Magic Weapon Wand +4 / +5


Advice


If I wanted a Wand of Greater Magic Weapon, it would cost me:
+4: Level 3 Arcane Spell X 13th level Wizard X 750gp... 29,250gp
+5: Level 3 Arcane Spell X 17th level Wizard X 750gp... 38,250gp

Am I doing the math correctly?

Looks right to me.

Greater magic weapon gives +1/4 caster levels, so you'll need CL16 for +4 weapons and CL20 for +5. I'm not sure where you're getting 13 and 17 from.

So for +4: 3*16*750=36,000 gp
and +5: 3*20*750=45,000 gp

Note that you can just buy a +4 weapon for 32,000 gp and a +5 for 50,000 gp.

Level 1-4 = +1

Level 5-8 = +2
Level 9-12 = +3
Level 13-16 = +4
Level 17-20 = +5

Isn't level 13 the minimum level required to produce a Wand of Greater Magic Weapon +4, and isn't level 17 the minimum for a +5... or does it mean:

Level 0-3 = +0
Level 4-7 = +1
Level 8-11 = +2
Level 12-15 = +3
Level 16-19 = +4
Level 20+ = +5

This is the main reason I asked the question.

This is correct


Yeah, it's not cost effective to buy wands to hand out greater magic weapon. Especially when it doesn't allow you to bypass DR and it costs almost as much as buying a single weapon of the appropriate enhancement bonus.
