[3.5e] Creating Soverign Glue

[Reshy]

Hello, just wanting to get an answer for creating Sovereign Glue.  The confusion stems from the item having a caster level of 20, but a spell of only 2nd level.  So the question is, if you can cast Make Whole and possess Craft Wondrous Item (For instance a 3rd level cleric) are you able to craft sovereign glue?

Short answer: you only need to be 3rd level.

Long answer:  DMG, p215, last sentence of the 1st column, under "caster level"
makes it look like you need to be 20th level

For other magic
items, the caster level is determined by the item itself.  In this
case, the creator's caster level must be as high as the item's
caster level (and prerequisites may effectively put a higher
minimum on the creator's level).

but this has been changed in the errata to say you don't need to be 20th

For other magic items, the caster level is determined by the creator.  The minimum level is that which is needed to meet the prerequisites given.

You have a source for the errata?

It's the official errata for the DMG.  What else would it be?  Find it at http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/errata and see for yourself.

Otherwise, Elminster must have been very bored to make the world's largest supply of Sovereign Glue!

Well, considering his age I imagine he's entertained the thought at some point.

Well how else was he going to glue your PHB shut?
