    The other item I would craft is something like an amulet, tunic, cloak, robe, or crown that provides Continuous Protection from Evil, it only costs 2,000 gp to craft (4,000 gp value), it protects vs the mind control stuff, you could also add Chaos and Law to it as well, but I usually skip Protection from Good.

    A pair of Glasses with all the detect spells you have that are 0-Level or 1st Level are also useful.
    I don't think you should necessarily expect to be able to craft custom items of your own invention. They're very DM-dependent. But I also don't think you really need to craft any custom items because you can do just fine with the basic stuff in the DMG.

    Yeah, if your DM has houserules nerfing item creation, then item creation feats are going to go down in value. But presumably you also would have known about them by now, right?

    I think there is an understanding that crafting an item that has a 5 uses of a spell per day is not really outside the realm of acceptable custom. It has a simple formula.

    However, Crafting a real custom item like Gauntlets of Absolute True Strike (GoATS) that require Extend Spell feat, Spell level of 2nd, and Minimum caster level of 3rd, and “Continuous Use“ calculations allowing one attack each round to benefit from a +20 is extremely custom, and I wouldn’t expect many DM’s to allow it, even at the highly expensive cost.

    Any crafting skill requires DM coordination, even for the stuff in the book, especially when the DM has already stated PHB only.
