Top 5 Mid-Level Magic Items in Pathfinder 2e

hello YouTube and welcome to S Prime Productions I'm here to help enhance your tabletop gaming experience okay so a while ago I released a video top five low-level items in Pathfinder 2E by low-level items I meant anything levels zero or one that you could buy with your initial starting money and a lot of you liked it and wanted to see more so today I thought I'd go through some higher level items to show you what else you could buy that's out there in particular particular item levels 2 through 10 if this video does well I might do a levels 11 to 20 video someday but since most Pathfinder games tend to be lower level let's start with that so just so everyone is on the same page by items I mean things that are not weapons armor consumable or wands yes those are technically items but I feel they deserve their own video instead I'm going to look towards things like cloaks belts goggles that kind of stuff I'm also going to limit myself to the new GM core items only just to let you know why GM core only well as of the making of this video the newest book with magic items that has come out is the GM core so it's the most likely book that players are least familiar with now I'm going to be judging these items based on how useful the item is at the level you can get it and how useful it continues to be as you level up not its over overall power if I was only concerned with overall power then the entire list would just be filled with level 9 and 10 items of course I have a few honorable mentions before we get started into the main list first honorable mention goes to all the skill increasing items a mage's hat diplomat's badge they all buff skills that might be useful in a game these are particularly useful if your class relies on a skill like the Persona mask which boosts performance for bars this is useful for several B abilities like counter performance along with many many others there are a lot of these skill boosting items and I don't think filling the entire list with them would really serve anyone go check them out though there are a lot of them and they are great now I may mention some items that Grant skill bonuses in the list proper but those will be for their non-skill boosting abilities another honorable mention goes to the old Staples that I shouldn't have to talk about the spacious pouch the remaster version of the bag of holding is of course going to be useful in dragging treasure back to town so it's a no-brainer everyone kind of knows about these items already I want to talk about items that aren't on everyone's radar last honorable mention are the doubling Rings which duplicate all of your fundamental runes onto another weapon there's even a higher level version that copies property runes too these are kind of essential if you are a two weapon fighter but I can't in good conscience put them on the list because they're really only useful if you are a dual wielder all right moving on to the actual list number five healer gloves so these level four items let you as a single action touch someone and heal them for 2d6 plus 7 damage now that's not a lot but it's certainly enough to get someone back on their feet this is a great emergency heal button especially if you are not a party healer this way if the party healer goes down you can touch them and Bam healer back and they can then proceed to heal everyone else this is great even at higher levels plus it doesn't have the concentrate trait so barbarians can even do this while raging they're kind of a steel at only 80 GP and hey uh plus one to medicine is a nice little added bonus moving on to Number Four The Winged sandals so at first glance these level 10 sandals are kind of cool they Grant a 30ft fly speed for 10 minutes once a day which is nice but the real thing here is their other ability they automatically cast gentle Landing the remastered version of featherfall if you start falling like I said that gentle Landing by the way that's automatic it does not use up your reaction you could be unconscious falling to your death and the sandals would still activate they can be a lifesaver literally and they can do this once every 10 minutes it's not just a once a day thing gentle Landing is one of those spells that no one really memorizes because it's so weird for you to need it but when you do need it you really need it so having an item that does it for you is fantastic plus like I said flying for 10 minutes once a day is always nice not only for com but for utility as well for number three we have the boots of bounding okay so these level seven boots just straight up make you faster you gain a plus five item bonus to speed and when you leap you leap an extra 5et farther the crazy thing is you can actually double benefit from these boots see the leap action lets you for one action leap 10 ft or 15 ft if your speed is 30 or better so if you start with a speed of 25 then these boots up you to 30 in turn that means your base leap goes from 10 to 15 but because of the boots you now LEAP 5 ft farther or 20 ft that's a one action leap that lets you clear 20 ft of difficult terrain or trip wires or cross a stream without needing to roll pretty great and remember unlike the long jump action the leap action lets you jump without a running start number two the wayfinder okay so this is the big iconic magic item from Pathfinder if you are unfamiliar a wayfinder is a compass that can cast light at Wills so automatically it basically just replaces a torch but here's the great thing a wayfinder also has a slot that lets you slide an Aon Stone into it when you do the Aon Stone gets a second power like being able to cast air bubble on yourself so not only does this Compass prevent your Aon Stone from being stolen as it orbits your head but it also gives you a bonus on top of it now it's not perfect you can't buy multiple wayfinders and load them all up with Aon Stones the rules specifically don't allow that but if you have that 16th level Aon Stone you can keep it safe in this 28gp level two item and get a secondary benefit out of it to boot number one eyes of the cat at first glance this level 9 item looks pretty boring it gives you lowl light vision and a plus two to perception checks and actually only sight based perception checks but here's the thing that's actually huge remember a plus two bonus is the equivalent of a training increase from say expert to master that is fantastic for just about anybody first of all perception is the initiative score for most people in most combats yes of course there are times when other things can be rolled for for initiative but perception seems to be by far in a way the most common additionally perception is used for a whole slew of other things such as finding traps discovering how to influence people in Social encounters and figuring out if people are lying just to name a few some of those activities allow for other roles as well but all of them always allow perception as an option now the best thing about these goggles is not that they can make someone who's good at perception even better it's that they can make someone who's mediocre at perception competitive many classes only get up to expert in perception but with this item and the canny Acumen feat if you take it at level 17 you can effectively become legendary in perception and that can really help a class out let's take a look at just one example the psychic only can trip foresee the path requires you to make a perception check against an enemy's will DC normally this is terrible because psychics don't have an incentive to invest in wisdom the relevant attribute for perception and they only get up to expert in perception but with this item they can effectively get up to master and like I said at level 17 with the canny Acumen feat can effectively get up to Legendary this helps to make what would be a bad cant trip somewhat better well that's all for today just a few items I wanted to talk about that I don't see Get Enough Love in the community so if you find yourself with some extra money in town or if you want to craft some magic items of your own consider one of these options hey quick shout out at the end of the video just wanted to thank you for making it this far thanks for all of you out there who are watching and helping
