Loot thread 3: Booty, broads and booze!

Formula's pretty simple. The base is a use activated or continuous magic item, which is spell level * caster level * 2000.

> roll 9*17*2000
<Kobot> Ko-PrincessNitorisDecree rolled 9*17*2000 --> {306000}

However, there is a mitigating factor of uses per day. In this case it's 1 per day, and you divide the total by 5 divided by the number of uses. 5/1 is 5, so...

> roll 306000/5
<Kobot> Ko-PrincessNitorisDecree rolled 306000/5 --> {61200}

Then the last part is applying the steam pixie discount.

[Merc]

Ah. Well, adjusting to CL 23 and 3/day:

9*23*2000*3/5/4=62100

62100-15300= 46800

She can't afford that yet. So instead: 2/day, CL 23:
Costs 41.4k with discount, and minus cost of existing: 26.1k

3x scrolls of sending: 1,125 x 3 / 4 = 843.75

So 39,432.97 - 26.1k - 4k - 843.75 = 8492.22 gp left.

Are spell components 75% off as well or just magic items?

I was looking into getting a few of the hourglass-shaped diamonds for Hindsight, although I suppose Mineral might have some for purchasing...

[Merc]

Just items. Spell components would be full price since we'd have to buy them. Magic items we buy the components to craft them and Afina does her magic then gives them to us at cost.

[Ebiris]

Yeah, it's 1/4 price for magic items (half for having a crafting feat and half for Aurora being awesome) and 1/3 price for crafted non-magic items using the standard crafting rules with Aurora giving no benefit.

Anything else is priced as normal.

[Nephrite]

Then in that case Moore will buy 3 hourglass shaped diamonds for 3,000 and 3 sets of the items for Identify for 300, and also 3 sets of items needed for true seeing for 750 for a total of 4050.

19265.25 - 4050 = 15575.25 left

[Nephrite]

Would a ring of mind blank like Vivantha's be 8 (spell level) x 20 (CL, I guess?) x 2000 = 320k?

[Anastasia]

Whatever CL you use, yes. I think Vivantha used the minimum CL.

[Corwin]

Didn't Identify get houseruled?

[Anastasia]

I don't think it did, as much as a few PCs relied on the divine version that lacks the material component. Feel free to check houserules.

[Nephrite]

Out of curiosity, what spell is that? The alternative, I mean.

EDIT: It's probably irrelevant with high levels of Spellcraft anyway.

[Anastasia]

It mostly is, yes. Anyway, certain spells that require arcane material components don't as divine spells. Identify shows up on a few cleric domains.

[Nephrite]

Ohh, I gotcha. Okay.

[Anastasia]

Yes. In any case, spellcraft's largely obsoleted it at these levels.

[Corwin]

I'll get two Knock scrolls for 300gp.
