Adding extra magic to magic items (confused)


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I'm confused here.

How excactly does adding extra abilities to magic weapons work ?

If I read it like it's printed I can add a +1 AC bonus to my shield for 1000gp. Then adding bashing cost me a +1 bonus on top of the +1 bonus price. Which is 1000gp for the +1 and another 1000gp for the second +1 (the bashing price) ...

But I keep reading other things around this forum making me think I'm wrong ;)

So if someone could please explain to me how it's supposed to work ... because I'm confused right now.

Cheers in advance.

What it does is it adds the bonus onto it. So the above example would be 1000gp for the +1 bonus, and if you added Bashing it would become a +2 weapon costing 4000gp. You add up all the bonuses to determine the final cost. When adding one you just pay the difference of the costs 3000gp.


Ah .. I get it :)

Then I will need more gold, but I can end up with a +5 AC shield bonus and another +5 in special abilities over time, when money presents itself ofcourse.

Great, now I can get my gear selection in order :)
