Item creation and XP

[Giddeon]

Hello All.
I have a quick question concerning item creation, specifically forge ring. When a ring is created, does it have an XP cost for the base price like scrolls, potions and wands?

I was reading the DMG and under the creating rings, it doesn't state either way so I assume it wouldn't but we all know what assumption gets us.

Feedback greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but does the following quote with my emphasis help?

You can create any ring whose prerequisites you meet. Crafting a ring takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. To craft a ring, you must spend 1/25 of its base price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half of its base price.

Very helpful. Thanks. I find it strange that it doesn't mention it in the DMG whereas it does for scrolls, potions and wands.

I don't have my DMG handy, so I can't refer to a specific page, but at the beginning of the Creating Magic Items section, you should see this line: "Magic supplies for items are always half of the base price in gp and 1/25 of the base price in XP." That's for every single magic item.

I was trying to work with a few photocopied pages, not the entire book. I don't like trying to do calculations and give answers to other players with out a solid reference. I did pick up the book and took a look.

If you're on-line, the SRD is very close to the books. The sections aren't split out into PH, DMG, and MM (et al), but I find that it's good enough for government work. I believe the SRDs are linked in the sticky threads, but if not try these, in my personal order of preference:

3.5
Hypertext d20 SRD
Sovelior
WotC

and for 3.0
