I think you forget to factor in the Material Component cost [100 GP for Identify], and since its a contineous effect you need to pay them 100 times. So the correct price would be:

(1 x 1 x 2000) + (100 x 100) = 12000

And 12 K isn`t too cheap :smirk:

would you then have to sit there an stare at the item for an hour to use the item, or would it be instantanious?

you dont have to pay the 100gp if you're a cleric w/ the magic domain.

wait. Identify is 2nd level.

so it would be
spell lvl *caster lvl*2000

2*3*2000= price:12,000; 22,000 (by a wiz or Sorc)

In any case it would still take 8 hours to use.

To get rid of that time limit you would have to cost it out at about 5 x normal price.

Depends if you're talking 3.0 or 3.5 Identify only has a 1 hour casting time in 3.5

Regardless, my question was answered.

Identify is only 2nd Level fpr the Magic Domain, for Wiz/Sorc it`s a first Level Spell.

so it costs 12 K for Clerics and Wizards/Sorcs (but for different reasons).
