Special materials (silver, cold iron, adamantine, etc.)

What are the cost guidelines for having non-magical items made from special materials like silver and cold iron? I can't find anything in the Beta about it. Are these items automatically masterworked (as another DM friend suggested to me), or is there a formula for figuring out the cost (such as base item x 1.5, or base item x 3)?

Nightwish, here are two links to two different webpages with the same basic info.

Basically, the special material adds it's cost TO the item you are buying.
And it always costs extra to have the item made as a masterwork item as well (UNLESS, the special material says that being made out of it makes it masterwork. See Darkwood)

Hope this helps!

Much appreciated!

PS - once Val gets back to that game, maybe we'll be able to get Kemnebi out of his predicament!
