Magic Weapon Prices (confused new player here.)

A +1 flaming keen greataxe would cost 18000gp (plus the cost of a masterwork greataxe) to buy and 9000gp (plus the cost of a masterwork greataxe) to craft.

And no when using a +1 flaming keen greataxe you only get +1 to attack and damage rolls.

A +3 flaming keen greataxe (which gives you +3 to attack and damage rolls) would cost 50000gp (plus the cost of a masterwork greataxe) to buy and 25000gp (plus the cost of a masterwork greataxe) to craft.

Oh wow we've been doing this stuff all wrong I think... Thank you so much!

Looks like you've got the math right. The cost for magic weapon enhancement is 'bonus' x 'bonus' x 2000. Crafting it yourself you can do it for half.

Each point of enhancement is 1 point of 'bonus.' Effects like flaming are can be 1 to 5 points of 'bonus.'

Just remember that those energy effects like flaming need to be turned on with a command word (standard action). Props if you make the command word 'flame on.'

Also keep in mind that you can have all of them active while sheathed, (JJ says the effects are suppressed until the weapon is drawn) however it might benefit you at times to turn an effect off.

Like if you are holding a flawing sword near an underground pocket of gas... :o)

Question:
Where did the original post go?

My original question (as you know) was really long-winded and overly complicated and I thought people would think it was too long and not worth their time, so I deleted it and was going to reword it but unbeknownst to me you had already replied. Sorry Leo! :/ and to anyone this may have confused.

I just want to verify so I can be sure I understand this system. If I have a +1 longsword and want to add a +1 to it or an effect that costs a +1 bonus my cost for the upgrade would be 6,000 GP not 8,000 GP, correct?

Lily Orlovsky: correct

Thanks!
