[QUOTE="Anselm, post: 8476334, member: 6978363"] I guess the way I read this (and I agree that it's a pretty unclear) is that it's an [I]additional[/I] 10% of the cost of the item plus you have to bring them the item you want enchanted. The 10% is the fee for "here's how I want you to do the work and I want it now" plus they aren't going to give you the item for free on top of that. Reading this though it sure reads the way you've spelled it out. It would just be bizarre to me that all the hoops you jump through to get to that price and have it be cheaper than the listed prices of just buying it is the way the mechanic is supposed to function. I feel like that second line is supposed to include the base cost of the item somewhere getting you the final formula of base cost + crafter's fee depending on the item (in this case 10%) + you supply the item. That doesn't answer whether your math is the intended of course. Just my thoughts. :) The other thing worth noting though is that the fee table and "Enchanted Gear" sidebar specifically says "Wondrous Items". Celestial Aegis is not a "Wondrous Item" type, it is an "Armor" (full plate)" type. Meaning that you could commission a Cape of the Mountebank, which is a Wondrous Item, and not a +1 Armor or a +1 Longsword. As far as I can tell, there's no way to commission an enchanted sword.
