Increase the dc to 30, your average check would be 37 so 37x30 for 1110 or 111 gp per week.  This would be 45 weeks then. I would note that a lvl 20 expert or pc could do this marginally faster but by much.I also point out that items that give increases to skill checks are really cheap.  A headband of intellect +6(36,000) and another misc magic item that gave a + 20 to armorsmithing checks(2000 gp) would make this somewhat different.In that case it would be baseline 36(lvl 20 with 23 ranks in armorsmithing) + 20 for 56 total.That means if you raised the dc to 50 x your average roll of 66 = 3300 or 330 gp per week making this task take a grand total of...15 weeks or 3 months 2 weeks on a normal calender.And the cost for the items(38,000 gp total) would be recompensed within the first 4 sets of armor(or 1 year).  Which in terms of cashflow and overhead works fine for the npcs or pcs. Also...lets just check something that costs 1000(full plate armor) the above person could finish a set of full plate in 1 week.   If he had a buyer he could make an easy 500gp a week just armorsmithing.  OR 28,000gp a year.  A set of masterwork full plate would take him the same approx time(1 week) and he would clear about 600gp a week.Solates</blockquote>
