That makes things much easier. And if you can grab a couple of feats to reduce gold and xp cost then you're set to go. If you can get the Extraordinary, Legendary and Exceptional Artisan feats plus the Magical Artisan feat from PgtF, then you can pretty much craft everything at 56.25% of the gold, xp and time cost. Not to mention that crafting an item is 50% cheaper and you are not limited by availability. As far as xp, the feats do alot to reduce the xp cost and in general I don't worry about the xp cost. I assume that I'll make it up in the long run, and in the long run I think this pays off much more than if you were going to buy the item. Let's say you were going to buy a greater stone golem. Normally this would cost you 196000 gp to buy. It would require you to save all your money if you use WBL from lvl 12 until you are lvl 16. If you decide to craft it it only costs 105000 gp and 7840 xp which is much better than 196000. If you take the Magical, Exceptional, Extraordinary and Legendary Artisan feats your gp cost is reduced to 59063 gp and your xp cost is reduced to 4410 which is significantly less. Not to mention that people do not simply have shops with greater stone golems for you to purchase. Most likely you will have to commision it. Crafting it will take 110 days which with a dedicated wright crafting for you will allow you to adventure while the process is being completed. So in my opinion the way to overcome your situation is to have your party craft its own items which is probably not possible for your since you have already started the campaign but for a new campaign this would be my suggestion. And the enormous benefit you will gain from such a character pales in comparison to any xp which you will have to pay. And I do agree that archmages have better things to do than to sit and craft scrolls although I would probably be a little more lenient but on the more expensive items they would definitely require commissioning.</blockquote>
