[QUOTE="mroberon1972, post: 388525, member: 5148"] [b]Hullo again Al...[/b] Hullo again Al... Actually, you missed it too. It does not use Wall of Iron. While it could, it just takes iron ore poured in the top and makes breatplates using the Fabricate spell. Basicly, it is a factory in a box. It never makes something out of nothing... The Item creation rules in the DM's Guide are on page 242. As follows a rundown of the item cost: Spell effect: Fabricate (50 gp) with command word (x1800) = 90,000 gp 5 charges per day = divide by 1 (no effect) Add cost of material = done each time used... total cost: 90,000 gp per breastplate maker (+ 10% material cost) Profit per breastplate (200gp - 20gp) = 180 per plate... 5 plates per day, 100 days, pays for itself in less than a year. (don't bother me about market flooding. Just cut it to one per day or week and cut the cost accordingly. Same time to pay for itself... Less cost directly relates to less production) If I really wanted to be nasty, It could have been full plate, sold at half price!!! Finally, Al... Remember: Say that no one will ever do something, and they will prove to a liar every time. Every invention WE have is due to someone breaking the basic rules of human nature. Without them, you would not have the computer sitting in front of you right now. Also remember, I am NOT saying magic items should EVER be mass produced. Just that magic items can mass produce magic items... Mr. Oberon "What was the topic again?" [/QUOTE]
