I want to buy a Celestial Plate Armor with the Hosteling property (+1 equivalent) added.
However, I am not sure what its price would be.
If I consider only the enhancement bonus, the Celestial Plate Armor is a +3 magic armor (which costs 9 000 gp). Thus adding a +1 property would make it equivalent to a +4 magic armor(16 000 gp). The difference would be 7 000 gp.
But this does not take into account the special properties of the Celestial Plate Armor.
I tried to reverse-engineer the price of the Celestial Plate Armor (25 000 gp) by comparing it with the price of the Celestial Armor (22 400 gp), but I cannot make sense of the numbers.
So what should it cost ?
ask your GM. As far as I know, named magic items aren't generally upgradeable unless GM fiat.
And it's out of the question for PFS since it's not allowed.
There is no true answer to this question, the better thing you could do is to ask to your DM.
Modified named items are usually custom magic items, often meaning you have to pay in full for them before they are made, and then wait as they are crafted. It sucks, somewhat, but at least you'll get what you want.
As for price, hosteling adds 7,500 gp to the price of a magic armor, so I'd simply add that to the cost of the celestial armor. If you already have celestial armor, you could pay the 7,500 gp to have it upgraded with hosteling, taking 8 days.
Yeah if you don't have rules restricting custom magic items, then pay the difference in the level of the plus. In this case +7K for +4 then another 9K for +5.

I would agree if hosteling were like comfort, AKA have a static price. But In PF upgrading like this generally do not have static price.

Actually, according to Ultimate Equipment, the hosteling armor enhancement has a price of +7,500 gp, meaning it does work like comfort, which has a listed price of +5,000 gp in the Pathfinder Society Field Guide.
My mistake about the Hosteling enchantment (fixed price). Many thanks for the answers (and sorry for the multipost due to some website failure).
No worries, it happens to the best of us.
