Hi everyone, the question is I have a +1 masterworked battle axe and a +1 masterworked short sword. How much can I sell them for? 300pg plus weapon cost or something else?

Thanks

Anything you bought you sell for half the price you paid for it. You cannot sell anything purchased with PA.

It was not purchased it was acquired during game play.

Just to verify, do you mean that your character found this during a scenario (i.e., on a fallen enemy or something)?

If you're talking Pathfinder Society game play (and that is, after all, the messageboard you're posting in) then you don't get to sell found/captured items for anything. At the end of the scenario you turn in every single piece of loot you acquired and you are rewarded with a lump sum of cash, representing your share of the rewards. You can then turn around and "buy back" the sweet weapon or magic item you just turned in, but you can't just keep it.

It's a rule unique to organized play in order to keep everything and everyone roughly balanced and fairly rewarded.

Yes, one a fallen enemy and one given in a module.

In organized play, you don't get to keep or sell those. Any items you found during a scenario/module vanish from your possession at the end. Similarly, items listed on the chronicle sheet are not yours to keep - they're available for purchase.

You don't keep items you find from scenario to scenario. From the guide...

"You may use any item you find during the scenario for free until the end of the scenario, but you must purchase the item when the scenario is over in order for your character rot be able t continue to use the item."

Edit: To clarify further...

So you don't get those items. But don't worry, you've actually been getting more gold than another PC your level in another game format. In PFS, you get more gold than normal because it is expected that you purchase all of your gear with it. It allows you to customize your character more, rather than relying on items from various games to deck yourself out in.

150 (MW) + 5 (sword or axe).

Just to verify I did not buy them. They were acquired during game play. And yes, one fell off a fallen enemy and one given to my character during a module.

Thanks

If you did not purchase the items, they actually no longer exist and should be removed from your character. See Jiggy and my earlier posts.

And we are telling you that at the end of the scenario or module you must turn that item in to the Pathfinder Lodge, get your gold, and then decide on whether or not to buy that item.

Also, were they masterwork weapons or +1 magic weapons? You call them both, but we never use those terms that way. If it's a non-magical masterwork weapon then it's a MW sword (or whatever), and if it's magical it's a +1 sword. Yes, a magical sword must first start as a MW sword, but to call it a +1 MW sword is kind of redundant. It's assumed, and mixing the two terms will just confuse the issue.

You realise that what you are describing is exactly the same as a +1 battle axe and +1 shortsword? All magic weapons are masterwork.

Since he referenced a price of 300 gp, I was operating under the assumption that he meant "masterwork, which gives a +1 attack bonus."

Jean, I take it English is not your native language. Let me ask you this, first:

Is this question for a Pathfinder Society character?
