So if I want to make a Masterwork Cold Iron Great Sword into a +1 Masterwork Cold Iron Great Sword, it will be 2,000 +2,000 (Cold Iron). Then if I wanted to put Flaming and Demonbane, it would be another 4,000 correct? For a grand total of 8,000, assuming I already have the MW CI GS? Halp plz.

Standard weapon enhancement bonuses cost....
+1-2000, +2-8000, +3-18000, +4-32000, +5-50000.......+10-200000
So what you want is +1-2000, flaming is equal to a plus 1 bonus enhancement added to the plus 1 already there so now we're at total of plus 2 bonus so 8000, bsne is also a plus 1 bonus so adding that makes it plus 3 so 18000, cold iron adds 2000 for the first enhancement and mw adds 300 so what your looking at is 20325.
That make sense?
So to make a MW Cold Iron Greatsword into just a +1 Flaming Cold Iron Great Sword it would be +2000 for the +1, +2000 because Cold Iron, and then + 4000 for a +1 magic property?
So then any +1 weapon enchantment will cost a minimum of 8000? I am confused by this because it says a +1 enchantment is 2,000... Does this mean you need to have a normal +1 to even give the weapon a special quality, such as flaming, then to actually add the quality you need to pay for the +2 cost, because flaming adds another +1 to the total bonus of the weapon?
That's very expensive :/
But thanks for the help guys! :)
Not quite. I'll try and break it down step by step.
Greatsword - 50GP
Cold Iron - 50GP / 100GP
Masterwork - 300GP / 400GP
+1 Enhancement 2000GP / 2400
Cold Iron surcharge - 2000GP / 4400GP
You got to this point just fine. The next part is what tripped you up. Adding flaming means adding a +1 so you need to calculate the cost of a +2, then bane is another +1 for a +3.
So you pay for the +3 and subtract the cost of the weapon you already have.
Greatsword - 50GP
Cold Iron - 50GP / 100GP
Masterwork - 300GP / 400GP
+3 Enhancement 18,000GP / 18,400
Cold Iron surcharge - 2,000GP / 20,400GP
Or simply put 20,000 if you have the MW CI Greatsword.
EDIT: I was typing that too slowly I guess. Ninja'd completely.

Yes.
You add up the various enhancement bonuses and property-equivalents, then read off the cost. Then add on any flat costs for materials or other properties that just list a cost.
So a +1 flaming cold iron great sword is:
+1 and +1 for flaming = +2-equivelant weapon = 8,000gp
Cold iron adds +2,000gp to enchanting cost.
Greatsword adds +50gp x2 for cold iron.
Masterwork adds +300gp
So your total cost of the item is 10,400gp.
If you then want to enhance the weapon to +2, the cost is the same as the difference between a +2 and a +3 weapon. So as a +2 weapon costs 8,000gp, and a +3 weapon is 18,000gp, it costs 10,000gp to improve it as all other factors are the same.

So to stop after just one enchantment such as flaming, i simply pay for the +2 price and add 2,000 for cold iron, making it 10,000 total to turn my MW Cold Iron GreatSword into a +2 Flaming Cold Iron Great Sword?
Or does it stay +1, but with the flaming quality?
It's a +1 weapon with the flaming property. It's a +2-equivelant weapon for pricing only.

Okay and to clarify, do i subtract the +1 price I already paid? for example:
I have a MW Cold Iron GS. I make it +1 with 4,000 gp (2,000 normal +1, +2000 Cold Iron). Then I add flaming to it: Normally +8000, but its already +1 so i subtract 2,000 from the 8,000 cost of +2. This brings me to a total of 10,000 gp. Is this correct?
