So to make sure That we are all in a sort of agreement

To make a Silvered Keen Rapier +1

20 rapier
90 silvered
300 masterwork
8000 (keen and +1 or a total of +2)

8410 gold

It would take 8 days and if the DC 11 spellcraft check is failed the player looses all but 4000 gold?

Excellent, thanks for the info.

Rules for making a +1 longsword:

You would need the Craft Armor and Weapons feat, which is not attainable until 5th level. The check is 5+caster level of creator. So assuming you would be at minimum level after picking up the feat, it would 5+5=10 for your DC. Pretty simple, right?

So the DC increases as your level increases for the same item? Does that make sense?

Can someone help me break down the crafting rules a bit for even a simple weapon or armor for me. The way I am reading it is.

to make a +1 longsword

cost masterwork longsword 315
+1 enhancement 2000
3315

So it would take 4 days to make it and you would have to pay half up front. So If i am right about this so far the check to make it is?

spellcraft DC 5+1(magic weapon caster level 1)

So a single spellcraft DC 6 and 3315 gold, spend 4 days and you have a +1 magic longsword?

And what about things like returning? what spell would one use for that or would that just count as a generic +5 to the check?
