40' diameter 60' tall oak tree... I have know idea... what I was thinking is this in combanation with the a wand of shape wood... you should be able to get 1382400/(X squared) 10 foot poles out of it, where X is the diameter of a ten foot pole in inches...
Assuming the pole is 1 inch in diameter, you get 691200 gp.
so a eternal wand of shape wood... is actually a gold mine....
Nah. Gold mines typically run out eventually.
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

The is why an Any Mug is a great item, you can use it to make glass, obsidian, heavy water, lamp oil, lube :smirk
A player once asked me if there was any way to make a Tarrasque more evil... 3 sessions later he was stoned with D20s as the PC led an exidus out of the path of a Dire Tarrasque of Legendary Wonder.

I was going to go with a heavy water, potasium nitrate combo and just vapourize the area...

Liquid Sunlight (Complete Scoundrel 110) is a potentially hands-free small ball of goo that sheds light like a torch- forever- for 20G.  The only downer is that it's breakable, but it serves as a sling bullet in a pinch.
Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future.

Speaking of which:
Don't even need TO for this.  Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu].
Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

Liquid Sunlight is awesome. So awesome, in fact, that I already mentioned it roughly a page ago. ;)

Torchbug Paste (CSco) Think Farie Fire spell as a no-save mundane splash weapon with a 1 hour duration.  There are other uses as well, but this is my favorite.  For 25gp (and negligible weight), this should be in everyone's toolbelt.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

I haven't seen my favorite item of all time here.  I notice lots of bits about rope, about grappling hooks, and about other similr items, but you've forgotten the single magic item tht does anything you could ever need from ropes OR grappling hooks.

Complete Scoundrel gave us: The Rod of Ropes.

You want to fire the grappling hook, but don't have the Use Rope or Climb to scale it?  It does that.  It pulls you up by itself, and it does it at 60 feet per round.  You need a whole lot of rope, and fast?  It does that.  Need to slide from one place to another?  It has you covered.  Badguy perched precariously next to a fall and you aren't standing next to him, or lack the manly fortitude needed to heroically punch him?  Yeah, this puppy can bullrush, too.  Or heck, stand in the middle of a building and knock two people off!  If a chicken lays an egg on the middle of a roof, which way does it roll?  Whichever way you want it to.  Did I mention the grappling hooks have a 300 foot range - on both ends?  You might as well attach one end to the moon after it's thrown by a hulking hurler, the other to the earth, and just slide all the way down through space with that range!  And it throws all 300 feet in a single round!  While the wizard is futzing around with his spells or the fighter is taking off his boots to put on his dainty little slippers, you've already scaled the cliff and are hocking loogies at them!

Rod of Ropes is more or less half of Batman's gadgets - you know, the ones that used rope - and the hookshot from all the Zelda games combined into one.  One might claim the cost of 4,000 gold is too much...but I've used it in just about every session of every game that I've been in.
"Can I make it absolutely clear, here, now, that I'm only here because the producers said I had to be. I don't like snow, I hate being cold, I hate outdoor pursuits, I hate the idea that I've got to "push my body to find the limit," I can't stand this stupid clothing that makes this rustling noise when you move all the time, and I hate the zips, and the toggles, and all the pockets, and that and I hate your stupid truck."

"Listen. If we make it, look at it this way: you will be the first person ever to go to the North Pole who didn't want to be there."

How...how have I never noticed that wonderful item?

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.
Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie.

I misread that as the rod of rapes. It sure made reading that next paragraph interesting, let me tell ya.

All we need now are the Fire Rod, the Cane of Byrina, and the Staff of Somaria. Oh, and the Switch Hook. Possibly the Magnetic Gloves too.

I was thinking an at will item of Extended Blockade for the Staff of Somaria. Possibly Shadow Conjuration to make it weigh less than a ton.

The Cane of Byrina just flipped things over. It didn't seal things outright. Possibly Reverse Gravity...

Of course, the last completely negates the usefulness of the rod of ropes.

Well, it did have a limited height and could only be used on a hole in the ground. Or on another creature, in which case it would deal some damage.
