Well I got to look over the 2 Quintessential books yesterday. They have a lot of good ideas. I just wish they'd have been thinking 4e instead of 3.5 when they made them. As such, most things can't be used as-is. There WHERE some items in the wizard book that fit the setting and work mechanically. Here they are.
Astrolabe and Sky Charts [150 gp, 1/2 lb] : If you know how to use them, you can also trace a course when no landmarks are visible. Each time you use the astrolabe and the sky charts and succeed a DC 15 Nature check, you gain a +4 item bonus to your next Nature check to find the north (especially if you have to pinpoint a precise direction).
Magnifying Lens [20 gp, no weight] : When you use it, you gain a +2 bonus to Perception checks to spot small details.
Spying Glass [50 gp, 1 lb] : This is a 3 ft. long tube of wood or metal that can be reduced to half this length thanks to a system of progressively smaller pieces. It allows you to see at a greater range and grants a +2 bonus to Perception checks made to watch creatures or items located beyond 10 squares but within 50 squares from you.
Telescope [1,000 gp, 10 lb] : Once fully extended, it measures 5 feet and must be placed on a tripod or another similar support. You can use it to see far beyond your normal reach, gaining a +2 bonus to Perception checks made to spot creatures or objects beyond 50 squares from you but within a range of 100 squares.
Portable Tripod [2 gp, 2 lb] : This is a light wooden support that can be folded to be easily carried around (when folded, it is considered a Tiny item). It can sustain many different items.
Instant Fire [10 gp, 1 lb] : This is a block of wax-like substance. As soon as you rub one of these blocks against a flint, it will burn like a torch for 4 hours, producing a like amount of light and heat, which you can safely carry in your hand. Once used, the block is consumed.
Acoustic Horn [40 gp, 4 lb] : It magnifies sounds and leads them to your ear. When you use it, you gain a +2 bonus to Perception checks made to listen through a door or a wall.
Inkpen [5 sp, no weight] : The inkpen works like a pen, but it is made in wood or bone and lasts virtually forever.
Astrolabe and Sky Charts [150 gp, 1/2 lb] : If you know how to use them, you can also trace a course when no landmarks are visible. Each time you use the astrolabe and the sky charts and succeed a DC 15 Nature check, you gain a +4 item bonus to your next Nature check to find the north (especially if you have to pinpoint a precise direction).
