You look at the cost of the rod listed in the DMG.
You divide that in half, and pay that much in GP for materials.
You then divide the cost by 25, and pay that much in XP.

Based on the DMG you have the cost for metamagic rods using 1,2,3,4 levels of augmentation, feats with similar adjustments will get a similar price, for exemple a rod of Widen spell would cost the same as a rod of Maximize spell (3 levels adjustment each).styker said:

Yes, we understand but the rule is not written you have to deduce it from the prices listed.
Don't know if there is a formula or if it was improvized.
The lesser quicken is 35000gp, at least a feat with 5 levels adjustment must be double that, for the others you're going to epic stuff, more than 200000gp cost.

Yes, you want a rod of Persistent Spell.
Good luck with that. If you aren't the GM, it's unlikely you'll get one. If you are the GM, why would you do that to yourself?
At any rate, as there don't appear to be rules for what you want to do, you'll have to make them up. FEADIN's suggestions seem pretty sound to me.

Well, if for some reason you want to let items that open to abuse into your game, you can, but but a metamagic rod of Persistent Spell is somewhat simple to abuse (at earlier/mid levels, it permits the Cleric to rock hardcore - a Persistant Find Traps (2nd level base spell) lets the Cleric out-search the Rogue when it comes to traps, all day long; a Persistant Divine Favor virtually lets you out-fight the fighter (but does real nifties for the Paladin); at mid levels, the Cleric can really outshine the fighter with daily combat buffs (persistent Divine Favor and Persistent Righeoutus Might)). Pretty handy for a Wizard, too.styker said:
However, if you want to derive a formula....
Code:
Level Modifier Lesser Normal Greater
1 3000 11000 24500
2 9000 32500 73000
3 14000 54000 121500
4 35000 75500 170000I've yet to find a pattern in the lesser rods, but for normal, it works out to 21500 * level modifier - 10500; greater: 48500 * level modifier - 24000 ... so a normal rod of Persistent spell would cost 6*21500-10500=118,500 gp; a greater: 6*48500-20500=270500
And, as the DM, either might cost you your sanity....
