[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 2608044, member: 23094"] So, using the patented Patryn of Elvenshae System for Pricing Magic Items, what we'll do is break this complicated item into multiple, separate items, and then mash them together. Your highest CL is 9, so all abilities will be priced at CL 9 per my earlier comments. Boots of Dimensional Slide [I assume you mean Dimension Slide]: PL 3 * ML 9 * 1,800gp (Command Activated) / (5 / 2) = 19,440gp Boots of Improved Blink: SL 5 * CL 9 * 1,800gp (Command Activated) / (5 / 1) = 16,200gp [I had to back calculate from your numbers to arrive at SL 5] Boots of Freedom of Movement: SL 4 * CL 9 * 1,800gp = 64,800gp [I have no idea where you're getting 11K for this; there's also no way to make something an immediate action to activate, so we'll price it as if it were a standard command-activated item; each activation lasts 90 minutes] Boots of Flying: SL 3 * CL 9 * 1,800gp * (1/5) * 1.11 [Boots of Speed modifier for single use made into a split-up duration with free action activation] = 10,800gp Boots of Fast Movement: [Striding and Springing gives a +5 bonus to Jump checks worth 2500gp; therefore, +10 Enhancement to Speed is worth 3000gp as a secondary ability, and is therefore worth 2000gp on its own; ergo, enhancements to speed cost enhancement squared * 20gp, only allowing multiples of 5'] 30 * 30 * 20gp = 18,000gp So, to sum up, we've got the following five magical items as our "base": [list=1] [*]Boots of Dimension Slide: 19,440gp [*]Boots of Improved Blink: 16,200gp [*]Boots of Freedom of Movement: 64,800gp [*]Boots of Flying: 10,800gp [*]Boots of Fast Movement: 18,000gp[/list] Clearly, the most expensive power here is the Freedom of Movement; therefore, that'll be our base item. Everything else has its cost multiplied by 1.5, as they are secondary powers. This brings us to: [list] [*]Boots of Freedom of Movement (CL 9, Command-activated): 64,800gp [*]... and Dimension Slide (ML 9, Move-action, 2 / Day): 29,160gp [*]... and Improved Blink (CL 9, Command-activated, 1 / Day): 24,300gp [*]... and Flying (CL 9, Free action, 9 nonconsecutive minutes / Day): 16,200gp [*]... and Fast Movement: 27,000gp (CL 9)[/list] ... for a grand total of [b]161,460gp.[/b] [/QUOTE]
