Overland Travel

[BishopMcQ]

I'm looking at items that can speed up overland travel.

Ring of the Weary Traveler is a 5th level item that temporarily blocks fatigue and has +10' movement for Overland Travel.

Hardy Traveler (9th level racial feat) has a similar +10' and another bonus.

Horseshoes of Speed are a 14th level item for the +10' version, 7th level for +5'.

If we made a new item say, Horseshoes of the Messenger, that just increase the speed by 10' for overland travel, would it be reasonable to be a 4th or 5th level item? I recognize that tactical movement is worth more than overland movement due to the combat applications.

I'd say somewhere in the 5-7 range. A wand of longstrider level 2 is a level 5 item which gives you +10 status to Speed (including combat) for 8 hours per day. But you can only use it on yourself, and you have to be able to cast that kind of spell. So I'd take level 5 as kinda the bottom of the range where such an item is possible.
