Message: <blockquote data-quote="RUMBLETiGER" data-source="post: 5945561" data-attributes="member: 6674868">The mechanics for crafting magical items seem to assume a solitary crafter.  Is there Any RAW on what would happen if more than one magical crafter worked on the same item?Lets take a <a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Decanter_of_Endless_Water" target="_blank">Decanter of Endless Water</a>.  at 9000gp, that's exactly 9 days of crafting, 360 xp, and 4,500gp in materials.  Prereq. of caster level 9.Obviously someone else could contribute the gp equivalence of materials if they so desired.  I know someone else can contribute the spell.  But what if we had a Level 9 Wizard and a Level 9 Artificer and a level 9 Cleric, each with the <a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Craft_Wondrous_Item" target="_blank">Craft Wondrous Item</a> feat?  Could they work on the Decanter at the same time, three guys around a table in the magical workshop, and therefore speed up the process?  Could they alternate 8 hour shifts each working on it one at a time, covering three "days" worth of work in 24 hours?   Could they split the xp contributed?If there is not RAW on this, how would you rule?  What would happen if a team of 4 Artificers wanted to go into business making expensive Constructs for high paying clients?  Surely 4 professionals should pump out a single <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/shieldGuardian.htm" target="_blank">Shield Guardian</a> faster than one (120 days!).  Or could they?  Would you figure that 2 crafters would get the work done in exactly half the time, or would the addition of each crafter reduce the time by, lets say, 10% each person?  Gnomes must work together to do this sort of thing, right?</blockquote>
