[3.5]Boosting effective caster level against Dispel?

[rmg22893]

I'm beefing up my druid with a significant amount of long-duration buffs, but I'm afraid I'll get dispelled. Right now, I have an effective caster level of 22 for the purposes of defending against dispel, which makes me impervious to the basic Dispel Magic, but not any of its more powerful siblings. I have a Ring of Enduring Arcana and am prepping my buffs with a Bead of Karma; are there any other ways to get it higher? I know I could get an Ioun Stone, but the +1 CL one is ridiculously expensive.

It doesn't boost the checks, but.. get rings of Counterspells, put Greater Dispel Magic in them. Less effective if your DM knows of non-core "dispel" spells. If you can hold a Spellblade (Player's Guide to Faerun) keyed to Greater Dispel Magic, that's even better. I suppose you could put it on the shield spikes of an Animated Shield, if that's within your budget.

A Ring of Spell Battle is kind of hilarious when beefy Dispels are being tossed around.

Ahnk of Ascension is like Bead of Karma, iirc, granting another +4 CL for buffs. And then there's Dispelling Buffer, which is a psionic power. Ask your DM if its available via Miracle or Wish and it might be reachable within your party. Otherwise, perhaps via leadership or a contract work. Costs ~1.6k per use via power stone, so even using it that way would be tolerable for special occassions if you had a way of using a power stone.

The feat Elder Giant Magic (SoX) requires 9 ranks in spellcraft and lets you increase your CL by up to 3 by spending an additional 1-3 rounds casting the spell (onlt works on spells with a cast time of 1 round or less).

There are feats in the FR books about using the Shadow Weave and one of them boosts the DC for normal "weave" casters to dispel your spells.

There's also the Ring of Enduring Arcana, in Magic Item Compendium. Costs 4k (IIRC) and adds 4 to your caster level for resisting dispels.
