Still Need Help Pricing Magic Items

[Samothdm]

Looking for someone to double-check my numbers here.

1) Item allows the wearer to use "command, greater" once per day on up to 10 subjects for 10 rounds/subject.
Caster Level: 10th
Craft Wondrous Item
Command, Greater
Price: 108,000 GP
CL (10) x Spell Level (5th) x 1,800 GP (command-word triggered) x 4 (converts "rounds" to "continuous") = 360,000 GP
360,000 divided by 5 (one use per day) = 72,000 GP
Non-standard Body-slot affinity = + 50% = Total Cost 108,000 GP

I'm a little confused on how to account for the fact that it's not really a one-time use, it's not really a "charged" item yet its effects don't last all day (only 10 rounds since it's created by a 10th level caster) so it's not "continuous".

2) Item allows wearer to affect all allies within 100' with benefits of "Good Hope" spell. No duration.
Caster Level: 10th
Craft Wondrous Item
Good Hope
Price: 180,000 gold pieces
CL (10) x Spell Level (3rd) x 2,000 GP (continuous) x 2 (converts minute/level to "continous") = 120,000 GP
Non-standard Body-slot affinity = +50% = Total Cost 180,000 GP

3) Item allows wear to affect all opponents within 30 feet with "fear" spell, once per day.
Caster Level: 7th
Craft Wondrous Item
Fear
Price: 50,400 GP
CL (7) x Spell Level (3rd) x 2,000 GP (continuous) x 4 (converts rounds to "continuous") = 168,000 GP
168,000 GP divided by 5 (use once per day) = 33,600 GP
Non-standard Body-slot affinity = +50% = Total Cost 50,400 GP.

Does that look right to everyone?

1+3) These aren't continuous items, as they are use-activated. So the prices are too high. For the Greater Command item, it's ((CL x SL x 1800)/5)*1.5, or 27,000 gp. For the Fear item, it works the same way, so ((7*3*1800)/5)*1.5, or 11,340 gp.

2) The calculation for this item is correct, but unless you really want to have the good hope affect 10 people instead of 7, its more worthwhile to have the item created at caster level 7 (the minimum level a bard could cast it), and the price would be 126,000 instead of 180,000.

Hope that helps

Cool - thanks for your help. I think I was a little confused by a use-activated item versus an item that has a permanent spell attached to it, but one that is not always "in use".
