In 1st edition Pathfinder, it can be tricky to give players interesting, useful, nonconsumable treasure at low levels. I did a whole line of Loot 4 Less books to extend the options available, but it’s often still useful to come up with new inexpensive-but-nice items for characters under 6th-7th level.

Here are some I have written up.

Boots of Quick Pace
Aura: faint Transmutation           Slot: feet              CL: 1^st    Price: 1,000 gp  Weight: 1 lb.
These boots increase the wearer’s base land speed by 5 feet.
Construction
Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Spells longstrider; Cost 500 gp

Oil of Reforging
Aura: faint Transmutation           Slot: —   CL: 1^st    Price: 450 gp      Weight: —
When applied to a weapon, this oil turns the weapon into a shiny mass of claylike material. If the claylike material is then applied to a second weapon, that weapon gains any masterwork, special material, or magical property of the first weapon that can apply to the second. The first weapon is destroyed, and the duration of this change is instantaneous. If for some reason granting the second weapon the appropriate properties would cost more than forging the first weapon, the difference between the two must be added to the oil bottle prior to adding it to the first weapon. If the oil is applied to a weapon to make it claylike, and that clay is not applied to a second weapon within an hour, the claylike material returns to its original weapon state, and the oil is expended.
Construction
Feats Brew Potion, Craft Magic Arms and Armor; Spells polymorph any object; Cost 225 gp

Resistant Mantle
Aura: faint Abjuration    Slot: Shoulder    CL: 1^st    Price: 340 gp      Weight: —
Once you have worn this mantle for 24 hours, you gain a +1 resistance bonus to your lowest saving throw category (Fort, Ref, or Will) while wearing it.
Construction
Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Spells resistance; Cost 170 gp

Rod of Cantrips
Aura: faint Transmutation           Slot: Held             CL: 1^st    Price: 650 gp      Weight: 1 lb.
While holding the rod, when you deal damage with a cantrip that has no other enhancement to its damage and has not been augmented by any form of metamagic, you add your caster level to the damage dealt (maximum +5 damage).
Construction
Feats Craft Rod; Spells spiritual weapon; Cost 325 gp

Weapon Talisman of Eldritch Blows
Aura: faint Transmutation           Slot: —   CL: 1^st    Price: 400 gp      Weight: —
This silken ribbon is roughly a foot long, with an apparently wax seal bearing a sigil of crossed staff and scimitar. It can be wrapped around any nonmagic weapon, the wax seal affixing it in place, at which point it changes coloration and symbols to match the patronage, deity, order, or personal mark of the weapon’s bearer.
Once per day when an attack is made with a weapon it is attached to, as part of the attack the wielder can activate the talisman, causing the attack to be affected as by magic weapon (+1 enhancement bonus to attacks and damage for 1 minute).
A weapon can only benefit from a single weapon talisman each day.
Construction
Feats Craft Magic Arms and Armor; Spells magic weapon; Cost 200 gp
Special
Like a +1 magic weapon can be upgraded to a +2 magic weapon, a weapon talisman of eldritch blows can be augmented to work more often, with its total cost increased as noted below
2/day    800 gp
3/day    1200 gp
4/day    1600 gp
Permanent         2300 gp
