Highest Weapon Enhancements

[WombattheDaniel]

So I know it's possible to go above a +5 enhancement bonus with epic weapons and various abilities and spells (Bane and Scabbard of Vigor come to mind), but what's the highest weapon enhancement possible?

[Dafydd]

+5, you technically can not build or buy any weapon or armor with an enhancement bonus higher then this.

Bane does push it up to a +7, but this is the only way I know to get an enhancement bonus greater then +5 without being in an epic game.

The Scabbard of Vigor doesn't stack with other enhancements the weapon already has.

furious gets you another 2. And grayflame another one. So a furious bane grayflame can get you a +10 weapon with +5 in special abilities.

[WombattheDaniel]

Would Scabbard of Vigor not stack with it? What about a Magus' Arcane Pool Enchant ability? What about the Sunblade's +2 vs. Undead? Or Greater Magic Weapon? Do any of these stack?

[Chess Pwn]

Greater magic weapon, And the scabbard give a bonus that doesn't stack with like bonuses. Now if you had a +1 and used greater magic weapon it'd be a +4 for the other class abilities.

scabbard - endow the weapon with an enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls.

greater magic weapon - gives a weapon an enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls of +1 per four caster levels

All these classes can increase the enhancement bonus of a weapon, but all cap out at +5 and +10 total.

Magus - These properties are added to any the weapon already has

paladin's divine bond - weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +6 at 20th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon bonuses to a maximum of +5

warpriest - This power grants the weapon a +1 enhancement bonus.These bonuses stack with any existing bonuses the weapon might have, to a maximum of +5.

spell warrior skald - [spoiler]grant a +1 enhancement bonus to the weapons (including ammunition) of allies within 60 feet. At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, this enhancement bonus increases by 1. The maximum bonus gained is based upon the number of weapons affected: +5 to one weapon, +4 to two weapons, +3 to three weapons, or +2 to four or more weapons. These enhancement bonuses and special abilities overlap with any enhancements or special abilities the weapon already has, though duplicate special abilities do not stack[spoiler]

The sunblade isn't a boost, it's getting set to a new one. So if you had a +5 sunblade, it'd be +4 against undead.

Not entirely sure what you are asking, though it appears given responses that perhaps I'm being particularly dense.

+5 is the limit for straight up to hit and damage,
+10 is the limit for total enhancement bonuses.

Both carry the exact same caveat that those numbers are assuming non-Epic or similar play.

With Epic there is no upper limit except what is decided by the GM and the campaign.

A furyborn weapon can get you up to +10 on its own, throw in furious/bane and you can get up to +12 or +14.
