caster level and item creation?

[Clint]

Hi, y'all experts.

Arcane prestige classes frequently give "+1 caster level in spells per day" at some point. Does this level count for item creation requirements?

For example, Wiz5/PrC1 that gives +1 level in spells per day. Could this character make an item that required caster level 6?

Thanks much.

Yes.

I'll also say "yes" to that, by my reading.

Note that DMG errata officially changed the label (Loremaster, DMG p. 34-35) from "Spells per Day" to "Spellcasting". It clearly includes a "caster level" boost (DMG p. 34, "Spells per Day", 1st paragraph).
