Ah, so to upgrade it to to +2 i need to have fame equal to the total price of the object? Or I just need fame enough to get the upgrade cost?
I'm a magus with med armor prof, so it's the best armor (at least till i scour the books for a better medium armor to mithril).
You need fame equal to the total cost of the item. So a +1 Mithral Breastplate (5,200 gp) is always available but a +2 Mithral Breastplate has a total cost of 8,200 gp (and therefore has to wait until you have 27 fame) but will only cost you 3000 to upgrade.

Yup. All non-magical items are always available.
Sorry, not quite true.
Firearms now follow the magic item rules instead of the mundane item rules for availability.
To be honest, there are a few too many drawbacks to that general rule, IMO. If your newbie Gunslinger's starting gun explodes, you are better off starting a new PC, if he doesn't have at least 9 Fame.
Again, IMO, pistols, muskets and blunderbusses, i.e. the same as the starting weapons, should be purchasable (with the Gunsmith feat proviso) without requiring a minimum amount of Fame...

You can always cough up the gold to get a Make Whole cast on the exploded gun. Maybe not the best solution while you're in the field, but it does get the 'slinger back in the game prior to the 9 Fame threshold.

Would a mending cantrip work on those broken firearms? I know lots of spellcasters have that.

That cantrip has a weight limit imposed on it by caster level [1 pound/CL], so you'd need to have at least a couple levels in caster. Some GMs might balk at the idea of a 0 level spell fixing something as complex as a firearm, so you might run into some GM variation.

Also, dragonhide armor is not always availableDid they ever explain why they called that one out for the exception? Given the potential for abuse i would have thought adamantite would be the thing to watch.
All the other materials can be mined or harvested. You have to slay a dragon to get dragonhide. So it will only be on chronicles and you only get it if your group killed the dragon in the adventure.

It doesn't show up on the always available list but doesn't it show up on the "i have the prestige to buy it" list?

Incorrect. You don't have to get it from a chronicle - you can buy it as normal based on your total Fame score, like any other legal item. It's just not "always available".

This came up in a game again tonight.
Looking through the updated PFS guide.
+1 Mithril breast plate can be purchased as soon as you have the gold.
Dragon armor you still need the Fame.
Are there any other special materials that need fame? Any recent update on these rules?
Thanks,
Baronjett
Rules updates are in the Guide to PFS, there is also the FAQ you can check, Addition Resources will let you know what is legal from the different books, and there is also a clarification thread but I can't find the URL for it right now.

I hear there is a farm outside Absalom where they raise dragons and harvest them for their hides. It's similar to the one outside Katapesh that raises Nagas.
