Crafting and levelling up in the middle of a craft project PFS 2e

[Sliska Zafir]

So, Cirene is crafting a set of Healer's Tools Expanded, she started this project at level 3, and will finish when she is level 4 perhaps.

When I spend days to reduce cost, do I use the original level I started the project at, or the new level I am?

Crafting in Society is one of the few things you can break up over multiple sessions of Downtime, and for higher level items, finishing them will likely take you across multiple levels, so it's not an uncommon occurrence. It works the same as in the Core Rulebook:

"For each additional day you spend, reduce the value of the materials you need to expend to complete the item. This amount is determined using Table 4–2: Income Earned (page 236), based on your proficiency rank in Crafting and using your own level instead of a task level."

So if you're Trained at level 1 you'd save 2sp per day.

If that Chronicle leveled you up, and you increased Crafting to Expert, you'd save 3sp per day on your next Chronicle.

But imagine you instead decided not to touch that project again until Level 7, when your rank became Master. On that Chronicle you'd save a whopping 2gp 5sp per day.
