That's a lot better than the old 14, which couldn't even scare a Hill Giant, but for I minor artifact I would have liked a scalabale DC like 10 + half your level + strength modifier. Wings of Flying: now costs 54,000 gp. Cost = spell level(3) * caster level(5) * 1800 (for command activated continous item) * 2 (for spell with a duration of 1/minute level. Much better costed, flight is way too useful.Strand of Prayer Beads: used to be a necklace, now three different varieties, lesser, regular and greater.Slippers of Spider Climbing: max. speed improved from 15 ft. to 20 ft. Why such a minor correction?Silversheen: new substance for making a weapon silvered for one hour, 250 gp.Scarab of Protection: SR raised from 15 to 20, yeah!Robe of Eyes: Search and Spot bonuses lowered to +10, bonus type from circumstance to competence, item cost gone up from 90,000 to 120,000 gp. As expected, this Robe was way too good, now its just good.Robe of Blending: Hide bonus lowered to +10, bonus type from circumstance to competence, price now 30,000 gp. (from 10,000).Robe of the Archmagi: SR raised to 18 (from 17), +4 resistance bonus to saves (from +1), +2 on caster level checks vs. SR (no more virtual feat). Good, it seemed more of a Robe of Mediocre Magi in the past.Periapt of Wound Closure: no longer effective versus a weapon of wounding (which now causes CON loss). Too bad and also a bit illogical to not let it work vs. wounding weapons.Necklace of Adaptation: price lowered from 19,000 gp. to 9,000 gp.Mirror of Life Trapping: price gone up from 152,000 to 200,000 gp. Don't understand why, had hoped they reduced to activation to 4 each day, like with the Mirror of Opposition. Remains a Tarrasque-killer.Mantle of Faith: grants damage reduction 5/evil for 76,000 gp.Vibrant Purple Iouns Stone: now stores only 3 levels of spells instead of 6, price gone up from 12,000 to 36,000 gp. Fine with me, it was way too cheap before.Horn of Blasting: now come in a greater and lesser variety. The automatic stun effect from the old horns has been removed. Only the greater horn can stun now (Fort DC 19 to negate), but it now does 10d6 points of sonic damage! 70,000 gp. for the greater, 20,000 gp. for the lesser horn.</blockquote>
