[QUOTE="Datt, post: 779638, member: 8710"] Don't forget about minimum caster level and creation times. I just crafted a new axe for my dwarf and wanted it enchanted to a +5. I had to go out and actively find a caster of at least 15th level with the feat. We are based in Phlan and I stay in the dwarven stronghold just north of there, we call it Steelhall, not sure if that is the true name or not. There weren't any dwarven clerics that high, we had been under siege from an army of giants just a few months ago and lost alot of people. Sure I could try the elves, but I just really don't like elves. So I had to go into Phlan. Going over to Hillsfar is completely out of the question given the current regime. There was only 1 caster 15th level. Luckily he happen to have the feat. Bad part was he is the Bishop of the church of Mystra and thus a very busy person. Luckily though my group had done alot of work for the church and one of the party members was a Dwemokeeper (SP?) of Mystra. He agreed to enchant my axe, but said that he was going to require me to go an a quest for the church to get some special ingredients used in the creation process. So before he will even start the process I have to go on a quest. Then even after he does start it is going to take 50 days! So yeah I have the money, but actually finding someone is hard. And then I have to wait another 2 months before I get it! In your example "Adding Keen to my +1 longsword of Frost" would cost him 10k and he would have to wait at least 10 days to get his weapon back. So that is a week is has to sit around without his weapon. There is potenial for :):):):) to happen right there. See how he likes getting ambushed with his trusty sword in the shop! [/QUOTE]
