A level in wizard for 2,000 gp

[With a box]

Spellbooks

A wizard must study her spellbook each day to prepare her spells. She cannot prepare any spell not recorded in her spellbook, except for read magic, which all wizards can prepare from memory.

A wizard begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level wizard spells (except those from her prohibited school or schools, if any; see School Specialization, below) plus three 1st-level spells of your choice. For each point of Intelligence bonus the wizard has, the spellbook holds one additional 1st-level spell of your choice. At each new wizard level, she gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast (based on her new wizard level) for her spellbook. At any time, a wizard can also add spells found in other wizards’ spellbooks to her own.
So, you get a spellbook containing all 0-level wizard spells in first level of wizard. and 3+int mod 1st spells.
there is 37 cantrips (http://dndtools.pw/spells/?name=&range=&spell_resistance=&area=&duration=&saving_throw=&casting_time=&school__slug=&sub_school__slug=&descriptors__slug=&verbal_component=1&somatic_component=1&material_component=1&arcane_focus_component=1&divine_focus_component=1&xp_component=1&rulebook__slug=&description=&class_levels__slug=wizard&spellclasslevel__level=1&domain_levels__slug=&_filter=Filter) in 3.5 (not include copys)
and now you sell the spellbooks with 40page at 2000gp.



Selling a Spellbook

Captured spellbooks can be sold for a gp amount equal to one-half the cost of purchasing and inscribing the spells within (that is, one-half of 100 gp per page of spells). A spellbook entirely filled with spells (that is, with one hundred pages of spells inscribed in it) is worth 5,000 gp.
and if you want, you can tear 1st spells for yourself and get 1850gp.

Indeed, selling your spellbook and purchasing a pile of riding dogs is a fairly common suggested plan when someone wants to assert ultimate wizard supremacy at low levels. I'm not sure what the exact size of the gold stack is, but your claim sounds about right.

[Hrugner]

This makes me want to start a wizard correspondence school, then go track down the students and steal their books when they've finished their homework.

[SinsI]

You are making the classical mistake - sure, you can buy a spellbook for 2,000 gp.
But you can't sell it for that much.

[icefractal]

You are making the classical mistake - sure, you can buy a spellbook for 2,000 gp.
But you can't sell it for that much.That is the price for selling it - see the quote in the OP. Buying it would be twice that much.

Now yes, it could certainly be argued - if all Wizards start with a full set of cantrips in their book, who's going to buy duplicates? Maybe a Wizard who's teaching some new apprentices? Unless scribing the cantrips yourself is part of the learning process anyway. But just by the rules - yep, easy 2K.

Incidentally, this is even more ridiculous in Pathfinder, since you can take an extremely expensive weapon as a bonded item (masterwork shotgun, perhaps) and sell that too. And then buy a huge swarm of trained Stirges with the money, if you want the DM to throw the book at you.

[Feint's End]

That is the price for selling it - see the quote in the OP. Buying it would be twice that much.

Now this makes no sense unless the selling rules are specifically for PC characters. The same wizard rules apply for NPC wizards. I'm not even sure what RAW says on this. Probably nothing / only contradicting itself. My suggestion: Forget the 50% rule.

I dunno, I think the imagery of a wizard with a shotgun is too cool to pass up for a couple thousand gp. Also reminds me of these two things:

After hearing all the talk about OP Wizards, it's strange to see this :smalltongue:

Well, yeah. That entire discussion is intentionally ignoring the fact that the main use of Wizard is having enough money for those warbeast battletitans at level 1.

Don't ignore the bolded part of the statement. Only captured spellbooks can be sold (because they contain non-trivial spells). Your starting wizard book is filled with cantrips that no one is going to be willing to buy.

Only the 1st level spells and above in your spellbook are of any interest to anyone(as wizards start with only 3+Int bonus of those), so you can sell them, if you wish.

False. Those spellbooks with cantrips sell like hotcakes to adventurers who picked up the magical training feat. :smallbiggrin:

70. Arcane Mark(PH p176) – Inscribes a personal rune (visible or invisible).
71. Prestidigitation(PH p238) – Performs minor tricks.


So, it looks more like 3550 gp (unless you are specialized in some school)


Soo this all means that right on the beginning the Wizards spellbooks is over 3/4 full and by lvl 4-5 he needs a new one... and then there is the collegiate wizard feat

[Story]

Wizard spellbooks fill up fast. Good thing you can get more.

Now this makes no sense unless the selling rules are specifically for PC characters. The same wizard rules apply for NPC wizards. I'm not even sure what RAW says on this. Probably nothing / only contradicting itself. My suggestion: Forget the 50% rule.IMC, the 50% thing represents wanting to sell your stuff quickly and with no hassle. You're selling it to a wholesaler who will handle annoying things like "nobody in this town wants 27 small-sized crossbows, we'll need to wait until a Gnome caravan passes through" or similar. If you want to go search out interested parties yourself, and maybe wait a few days or weeks for buyers, you can sell things at full price.
