That said, I think adding in the notion of a "special ingredient" would be fine. Aka this magic item requires 2 secret ingredients. If you don't do this, than I would put in a sidebar that drives home the notion that most magic items really are rare for a reason. A PC making a single rare item is fine, a PC mass producing that same item is something the DM should give consideration to.2) I am fine with costs being due to item category (uncommon, rare, etc) instead of item by item. However, for best results, the item list needs to be reviewed (some classifications are simply not right for the power of the item), and I would add in one level of granularity to give you a bit more control over prices. I think that's enough price points to do the job.So UncommonUncommon (Special)RareRare (Special)etc3) What I would like most, are rules and tables for various magical item quirks and personalization. To me crafting is not just about getting cool ability X, its about putting a bit of creativity into the item. Add some tables of ideas to inspire people to really tailor their items, not just in ability, but in form, usability, etc.</blockquote>
