Time needed to craft a Headband of vast Int +6 from a +4

[Garzag]

Heyho,

im sure some of you encountered this, im curious if i still need 36 days(18 if sped up) to "upgrade" my +4 Headband? RAW it seems to take those 36 days, but only 36000(+6)-16000(+4)=20000*0,5(crafting) =10000 gp to do this, right? And along with that: is level 9/10 too early for such an item?

That should be 10,000 gp and 20 days (1 day per 1000 gp market cost).

Too early? Depends on your game. Ask your GM.

The market price of a +4 headband is 16000 gp, and the market price of a +6 head band is 36000 gp. Upgrading a +4 headband to +6 will change the market value by 20000 gp (36000 gp - 16000 gp). Therefore, it will take 20 days (20000 / 1000) and will cost 10000 gp (20000 gp / 2).

It depends on what percentage of your wealth those 36,000 gp represents.

At level 9 you are meant to have 46,000 gp in adventuring gear, at level 10 62,000 gp. If having the headband means to have some "hole" in your defense or offense it is about right. if, as probable, thanks to crafting your WBL is well above the suggested values, it is a bit early.

Personally, as a home rule, I limit the maximum bonus of a belt/headband that can be crafted to 1/3 of the character level (several other items have that limit).
