My PC, Griselda, is a 6th-level necromancer. She has the feat Craft Wondrous Item. She wishes to create a Cloak of Arachnida (DMG pg 252) because it is cool, stylish, a bit evil and also pretty useful.At the bottom of the section on the cloak are its crafter stats. These read - CL 6th; Craft Wondrous Item, spider climb, web; Market Price 14 000gp.This means that the crafter must have a minimum caster level of 6. They must have the Craft Wondrous Item feat and during the crafting both spells, spider climb and web, must be cast once each per day. It so happens Griselda has both in her spellbook but if she didn't they could be cast by an ally or from another item such as a wand.For the crafting she will need 7000gp (half of the market cost) in raw materials. The cost of the base non-magical cloak is, I believe, included in this. Creating the item will take 14 days, one day for every 1000gp of market price. The creator has to work 8 hours a day for this period in a "fairly quiet, comfortable and well-lit place". It will also cost Griselda 560 xp, which is the market price divided by 25.</blockquote>
