Consider all those bonuses to be "unrelated effects" so just add them all together, as per the item creation rules, perhaps?   So thats 36 skills x 40k ~1.5million gp or so.  Way more if you count all the knowledge, profession, perform, and craft skills separately.So yes... that one is solidly in epic item territory, imho. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />(And fwiw, as a heads up: some players might try to put Cure Light Wounds on a ring or something to effectively get fast healing 5+ for cheap.  Just note that the epic Ring of Rapid Healing is priced at 300k for fast healing 3!).A good rule of thumb (and this might even be buried in the DMG somewhere?) is to only use the "spell effect" item creation rules if there is no other item or item creation rule that comes close to duplicating the effect.  If there is, then that should supercede anything the players can come up with because (presumably) the designers have already made an attempt to account for related balance issues, and have intentionally priced that effect accordingly.</blockquote>
