2
Level 1: Cost 60gpyesyesyesyes
3
Ant Haulyesyes28 hoursOnly useful if it is needed for combat gear, other wise a bag of holding for only 15gp more gives you 25 bulk.
4
Longstrideryesyes21 hourAt 1 hours not that good an investment (heightened to 2 becomes 8 hours).
5
Mage Armor (H)yesyes1/3Until daily prep
Doesn't stack with armor. Useful as a much cheaper alternative to +1 explorer's clothing from level 1-10, sell it when you want to buy +2 armor Heightens at even levels.
6
Negate Aromayesyes31 hour
If you are trying to be quiet and stay out of sight, you might want to consider not having your stealthy mission be foiled by the local guard dogs (or other monsters with scent).
7
Pet Cacheyesyesyesyes28 hoursMake sure your lovely companion stays safe. Especially handy for those who get it from something other then a spellcasting class.
8
Heal (H)yesyes1-
With Treat Wounds being a thing, this is only to speed up healing in a pinch. This becomes much more efficient at higher levels, as you can use it to conserve 10 minute buffs. Note that you can't do the 3 action version. Heightens.
9
Soothe (H)yes1-
With Treat Wounds being a thing, this is only to speed up healing in a pinch. This becomes much more efficient at higher levels, as you can use it to conserve 10 minute buffs. Heightens.
10
Pass Without Trace (H)yes11 hourWhile a +4 is not nothing, the amount of times you need this combined with the relatively low duration (for this task) make it not worth at this level.
11
Level 2: Cost 160gpyesyesyesyes
12
Bluryesyes21 minuteIf you know when a big fight is coming up this can increase your survivability.
13
Darkvisionyesyesyesyes21 hourAt heightened 3rd someone else can provide this, and at 5th the duration is until next daily preperations.
14
Invisibilityyesyes310 minutesGreat for those moments you need to sneak by.
15
Longstrideryesyes58 hoursPretty much an all day long +10 to your speed (buy 2 if you want even more uptime).
16
Mirror Imageyesyes21 minuteIf you know when a big fight is coming up this can increase your survivability.
17
See Invisibilityyesyesyes410 minutesSave for when you run into something invisible. Only not a 5 because at heightened 5th it becomes 8 hours.
18
Faerie Fireyesyesyes25 minutes
Shorter duration than see invisibility and you need to catch the enemies in the initial burst, meaning you also can't pre-buff yourself. But it does help out the rest of your group (and see invisibility isn't on the primal list).
19
Pass Without Trace (H)yes28 hoursStill a bit niche like the 1st level variant, but with a longer duration.
20
Level 3: Cost 360gpyesyesyesyes
21
Familiar's Faceyesyesyesyes210 minutes (max sustain)
Scouting can be pretty niche in some campaigns, and most familiar owners can get it from their spell list. So a bit situational yet still good in the right circumstances.
22
Hasteyesyesyes31 minuteWhile much better to get from your party they might not have the time to spare to cast this on you. Ideally cast just before a big battle.
23
Heroism (H)yesyes410 minutesUnless you already have a bunch of status bonusses for these effects high value buff with a decent duration. Heightens at 6th and 9th)
24
Tremorsense (H)yesyesyes21 hourAt this level you get a decent duration of an hour, 5th is 8 hours though.
25
Level 4: Cost 700gpyesyesyesyes
26
Blink (H)yesyes31 minuteIf you know when a big fight is coming up this can increase your survivability greatly.
27
Detect Scryingyesyes11 hourOnly useful if enemy scrying is a thing in your campaign, and one hour (heightened 6th is until next prep) isn't very long to catch all scrying
28
Flyyesyesyes35 minutes
Gaining a fly speed to chase down flying enemies or traverse terrain is common enough to want a wand (or two) for. The Heightened 7th has an hour duration. For that price you can buy rouhgly 9 of this level. You will end up with 15 minutes less but you can divide the duration. For 250gp more (950gp total) you can get it as a cloak for 10 minutes though, somewhat lessening the value.
29
Invisibilityyesyes41 minuteIf you know a big fight is coming or need to drop some aggro this can be a very powerful wand to have.
30
Stoneskin (H)yesyes320 minutes
The duration goes down when hit, and only works on physical damage. So Blink might be better in most cases. Though you have more leeway when casting this before a fight. Heightens at even levels.
31
Air Walkyesyes45 minutes
Walk on air to chase down flying enemies or traverse terrain is common enough to want a wand (or two) for. Only not a 5 because Fly Heightened 7th has an hour duration.
32
Pass Without Trace (H)yes38 hours
A bit step up from the lower level version since you only need one for the party. The impact is still relatively low since it is very situational It is usually just an added layer to prevent baddies from finding you (like stuff to prevent people from scrying on you etc).
33
Level 5: Cost 1500gpyesyesyesyes
34
Darkvisionyesyesyesyes1Until daily prepThis might seem good, but either another party member can cast this, or you can buy the item for less then the wand.

35
Dimension Dooryesyes2-Instantly transport up to 1 mile, could save your life or some time.
36
See Invisibilityyesyesyes58 hoursPretty much always see invisible creatures (buy 2 if you want even more uptime)
37
Death Wardyesyesyes310 minutes
Death effects can be devastating, if you find out during a fight a tough creature has them you might not have the luxury of waiting for your party member to cast this on you. Also protects against negative effects and damage, as well as suppressing Doomed.
38
Tremorsense (H)yesyesyes28 hoursEven imprecise, 8 hours of tremorsense is quite handy.
39
Level 6: Cost 3000gpyesyesyesyes
40
Detect Scryingyesyes2Until daily prepOnly useful if enemy scrying is a thing in your campaign.
41
True Seeingyesyesyesyes510 minutesTry and counteract any illusion or transmutation within 60 feet of you to see things how they really are.
42
Level 7: Cost 6500gpyesyesyesyes
43
Flyyesyesyes21 hour
Gaining a fly speed to chase down flying enemies or traverse terrain is common enough to want a wand (or two) for. Consider buying multiple 4th level Fly wands if you want to divide the duration better. Or saving up for a greater cloak of the bat or winged armor property rune for unlimited flight.
44
Level 8: Cost 15000gpyesyesyesyes
45
Disappearanceyesyes410 minutes
No matter their senses you remain undetected. So a big step up from being invisible. And with stuff like True Seeing being a 6th level base (non-heightened) they need to critical succeed on the counteract check.
46
Mind Blankyesyes5Until daily prepProtects very well against mental effects as well as counteracts any detectin, revelation, and scrying effect (at level 9).
47
Level 9: Cost 40000gpyesyesyesyes
