I want to make a cold iron Wakizashi +1. The description for cold iron says that you add +2,000 gp for the first enchantment.

Would that be
35 gp (Wakizashi cost) X 2 (for cold Iron) + 2,000 (first enchantment) + 2,000 (+1 enhancement) = 4070?

Or does the 2,000 gp count for the cold iron first enhancement and the +1 and it only costs 2,070?


The 4070 number is the correct one per the formulas in the book.

The cold iron entry reads:

Quote:
Also, adding any magical enhancements to a cold iron weapon increases its price by 2,000 gp. This increase is applied the first time the item is enhanced, not once per ability added.

Nowhere in that block of text does it state that the 2k for magically enhancing a cold iron item includes the price of the enhancement itself so the enhancement cost is additive.

+300 gp for being masterwork.

Only masterwork weapons can be magically enhanced
