XP cost for creating items

marune

First Post
Ok I want to craft a wand :

Dispel magic at level 10. The gp cost is 375 x 3 x 10 = 11250, What is the XP cost ?

Now I want to scribe a scroll :

Shadow Evocation at level 10. The gp cost is 12.5 x 5 x 10 = 625. What is the XP cost ?

Thanks for help.

(750 x 3 x 10) / 25 = 900 XP.

(25 x 3 x 10) / 25 = 30 XP.

EDIT: except shadow evocation is a 5th level spell, so it's actually:

(25 x 5 x 10) / 25 = 50 XP.

Wand: Dispel magic at level 10.
Scroll: Shadow Evocation at level 10

Easier way to look at it:

The cost to buy a wand is: Spell Level * Caster Level * 750

The cost to buy a scroll is: Spell Level * Caster Level * 25

The GP cost to make one is 1/2 of that number.

The XP cost to make one is 1/25 of that number.

So, for your Wand, you've got: 3 * 10 * 750 = 22,500gp. To make it, you'll need to spend 11,250gp on raw materials, and expend 900xp.

For your scroll, you've got: 5 * 10 * 25 = 1,250gp. To make it, you'll need to spend 625gp on raw materials, and expend 50xp.

Note that, above, you've got the wrong spell level for Shadow Evocation (it's a 5th-level Sor / Wiz spell, not 3rd).
