You can use the System as is.  This really limits when a Spellcaster can make an Item that takes more than a few weeks to create.  And a Crafter tends to spend ALL his downtime doing nothing but churning out items.2. Power Components:  You can research & find compoents that, in essence, are XP Batteries for a certain item.  (ie, the Ashes f a Fire Elemetal count as 500 XP for making a Fire Related Item).  You can also find Components that reduce the time needed to create an item.  From the above example, Ashes of a Fire Elemental reduce Creation time by a third.Overall, I try to be nice to people that take IC Feats.  After all, I, as DM control the Time, GP, and XP players get.</blockquote>
