Cheap Favorite Magic Items

Wand of cure light wounds. 50 charges. 750 gp. Much cheaper than potions or scrolls.

That's because you can't use it if cure light wounds isn't on your class spell list. I don't know many fighters with that spell. :)

Any item that provides a competence bonus to skills. They're just too cheap. By buying a cloak and a pair of boots, I can duplicate what it'd take a Rogue 7 levels to do.

Anything involving Haste or flight.

Wondrous Items that give unlimited use of a spell, whether it's an always-on effect or just something you can activate at will. I'm fine with Rings that do this, though.

Anything that holds an item with zero weight, in a location inaccessible to others but trivial for you to retreive it. Bag of Holding, HHH, Gloves of Storing, Quiver of Ehlonna, whatever.

Cloaks of Resistance.

Waiting for kreynolds to weigh in on that one ;)

Weren't Wings of Flying errata'd to around the same price as Winged Boots?

-Hyp.
 

I believe they were errata'd to twice the price of a pair of winged boots (around 24k). I don't have my books handy so I am not 100% certain of the price.

Ha. I thought I remembered 12k, but you're right - on the SRD Wondrous Items table, they're priced at 22k.

The SRD Minor Wondrous Items table.
Right between the Wind Fan at 5500 and Druid's Vestments at 5800 :)

"Activating a magic item is a standard action unless the item indicates otherwise. However, the casting time of a spell is the time required to activate the same power in an item, whether it’s a scroll, a wand, or a pair of boots, unless the item description specifically states otherwise."

Want a quick Identify? Play a Cleric with the Magic domain and the Create Infusion feat.

Heh, I figure hey - if Magic Missle does it, why can't I too? Actually, I was thinking for the communications at range thing, but yeah I suppose it could be used for more .. *ahem* tactical uses as well.

^_^

Curses, foiled again!

Yes, please

Poop, but not that way. I have a real hate-on for the Create Infusion feat. So potions store spells that affect the imbiber.. that's cool, it's a liquid spell. And wands store spells, but to trigger the pattern of stored energy you have to be able to cast the spell by some means otherwise - you need to be familiar with it to be able to trigger the wand. Cool. But infusions.. I take this herb and I make it do -anything- divine.. cause.. well, just because. Nope. Nuh uh, I don't likes it. I don't like Death Knell herbs, or Invisibility Purge herbs, or Atonement herbs, or Control Weather herbs, or Searing Light herbs, or Sound Burst herbs, or Make Whole herbs.

I don't like 'em. Not one bit.
