Item Creation

Not sure if this is useful or not but when we added ring slots, the first slot we took was a Forge ring slot. What would it take to create low level rings such as a protection from evil ring? Forge ring and the ability to cast the spell? Plus of master quality rings
Forge RingYou can create magic rings, which have varied magical effects.

I believe this takes a week which is a problem. What about this?
By voluntarily raising the difficulty of the task before you, you can craft items more quickly than normal. This option first appeared in the Epic Level Handbook, but this use of the Craft skill is open to characters of any level provided that they are willing to accept the appropriate penalty.TaskDCQuick creation+10 or more to DCQuick Creation: You can voluntarily increase the DC of crafting an item by any multiple of 10. This tactic allows you to create an item more quickly (since you'll be multiplying this higher DC by your check result to determine progress). You must decide the increase before you make the check.

The rule you are referring to only applies to non-magical items that you craft through that skill. Magic Item Creation doesn't use that rule.

The only way I know of to speed up item creation is through Efficient Item Creation [Epic].

It will allow you to Forge Ring at a rate of 10,000gp/day instead of just 1,000gp/day.

As an example, I'll walk through the ProtEvil Ring.

If you went to a Magic Ring Store, you would find this item priced at 30,000gp.

The item gives you all of the effects of the spell at caster level 3, which beats SR 14 creatures. It works continuously when worn.

It would take 30 days to create normally, but with the "efficient" creation, it would only be 3 days.

Another option is a Limited ProtEvil Ring. It is command-word activated (Help!) and provides all the spell effects for 1 minute, beats SR 12, and costs 2,000gp.
