    Default Cost of Iron Wood armor/weapons?

    I noticed Ironwood lacks a cost for a level<11 druid purchasing it from a senior.

    Going by what I know, 660 is the cost of a default caster level ironwood, a breastplate weights 30 and we need caster level*5 for +1 enchantment, so boost that by one and you get 720 cost when a +1 breastplate is 1200. What am I missing?

    Not really, no.

    What's more is, Ironwood uses the wooden item as a material component, so when the spell is over, the item disappears altogether.
    I use black for sarcasm.


    Call me Rose, or The Rose Dragon. Rose Dragon is someone else entirely.

    If you need me for something, please PM me about it. I am having difficulty keeping track of all my obligations.

    A few, but the easiest off the top of my head is Eberron Campaign Setting. They call it bronzewood and it does pretty much what you'd want it to: be as strong as metal but count as wood for magic and druids.

    Could always get dragonhide armor if you wanted to wear your faux-metal armors.

    Which always tickled me, after all, how on greyhawk does one make chain mail out of dragon scale?

    The rules say you can't make chainmail specifically, by size blah blah, but you can make half plate, which is a combination of plate and chain mail. I rolled a will save and failed to understand this.
    Think what you want. I can't stop you.

    Does the PHB say this? It's not a real term, and the SRD only says that it includes gauntlets.

    But assuming you're right, the answer's still obvious: the plate bits are made from it, the chain bits are made from normal metal. *notices the druid thing* Or maybe bits of string.

    You could also use Wildwood armor from Races of the Wild, which is slightly cheaper than Bronzewood, I believe. It increases ACP by 1, as well, being the only downside here.

    Ignore this text because it won't let me just post a quote even if the quote itself is MORE THEN TEN CHARACTERS. GAR!
