Craft Question In PFS 2

[Furansisuco]

I have a question,

in downtime i can craft a item
when can i start to craft a item level 4?

[Sebastian Hirsch]

As soon as you can access the formula for the item I would assume? Though even if you get the formula on a chronicle sheet, the craft DC might be somewhat channeling.

Is there a specific item you want to craft, we might be able to give you advice?

[Furansisuco]

Not especially, I wanted to know when I could start crafting a cold iron longsword (item level 2). (For example, its a idea in my mind)

If a level 1 or level 2.

I guess the rule can be applied to any item.

You cannot craft items higher than your level.

This guide I wrote on the mechanics of PFS crafting may be of help.

It's a bit verbose in places but I believe correct rule swise.

Thanks Rob.
it is what I feared, that it is not useful for what I have in mind.
another question on this topic.
a longsword is level 0. (if i remember correctly and it's in the basic crafter book), a cold iron longsword is level 2 and an adamantite longsword is level 11 (rarity aside). Do I need three formulas or is the sword one okay?

Materials
Do note the additional restrictions of precious material.

Page above wrote:

Only an expert crafter can create a low-grade item, only a master can create a standard-grade item, and only a legendary crafter can create a high-grade item. In addition, to Craft with a precious material, your character level must be equal to or greater than that of the material.

I do think that Cold-Iron Longsword is a level 2 formula that is sperate from the level 0 Longsword etc.

There's an argument that "Cold Iron Weapon (Low-Grade)" is a single formula but it's unclear. Given the formula cost of 2gp, doubt it's a big deal.

Thank you. if they are different formulas, for what I have in mind in society, it is a problem according to what I have in mind. Maybe not in AP, but we haven't played yet. Thanks again.

[Jared Thaler - Personal Opinion]

Adamantine is uncommon, so you will also need access. I do recall a formula for an adamantine shield on a chronicle, so I suspect you need a seperate formula.
