Is the srd price for boots of speed correct?

On command, these boots enable the wearer to act as though hasted for up to 10 rounds each day. The duration of the haste need not be consecutive rounds.
Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, haste; Market Price: 8,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.


Has there been any official errata or FAQ entry changing this price? it seems very cheap for a haste effect.

Nope.

It's a little cheaper than you'd expect (3 x10 x 1800 / 5) for a 10th level command word, once per day 3rd level spell, but not that much.

What about the fact that it can be split up? Shouldn't that make it even more expensive?

Makes it less attractive, remember it's a standard action to activate it and there goes 1 round(you still get the partial action).

Haste Boots

According to the FAQ, the Boots need a command to activate and deactivate. Therefore if you want to use the Boots for one round, it takes a standard action to start, then the second round you get an extra partial action, then you must spend a standard action on the third round to deactivate. Or you could just spend one standard action to activate them, go for 10 rounds of being Hasted... once per day. Either way, I dont think that 8000gp is too cheap.

Don't you get an extra partial action the round you activate them?

Yes.

It gives you the option to save some haste for later, it doesn't force you to take it. It will never make them worse -- in fact, it makes them significantly better if you get to use it for two 5-round combats.

Yes. But that's a net wash-you spent a standard action to turn them on.
