Help Wounding Magic Item

[Orge88]

How much does it cost to have an orc double axe get the wounding ability and can both head of the axe be wounding plz help first time trying to bay a magic item out right. Pathfinder edition.

[MiniGM]

Well it has to be master work so that is 600 for both heads then each head has to be a +3 which I think is 16000 each head

So 32600 plus however much the double axe costs

MiniGM is a little off. The cost of a +3 on a weapon is 18000, so the total is 36660. A breakdown of process and source listing follows...

First, determine weapon and cost.
Axe, Orc Double :: 60 GP (Core Rulebook, Equipment)

Need to raise the weapon to Masterwork quality to magically enhance. This process is done during crafting (so before you buy) or by the spell Masterwork Transformation. Either way, increase the cost.
Masterwork, 2 heads :: 600 GP (By RAW, you have to upgrade both heads to masterwork at the same time) (Core Rulebook, Equipment)

Next, make the weapon magic. This is done on a per weapon basis, so you can make one or both heads wounding, or, if you prefer, put different enhancements on the different heads. (Note, this tends to increase bookkeeping, as you have to declare which magic is your primary side, and which is the secondary)

You have to add a +1 enhancement bonus to the weapon first.
+1 magic, 2 heads :: 2000x2 = 4000 (Core Rulebook, Magic Items, Weapons)

Next, add the additional upgrades. To do this, add the enhancement bonus (the + number) to the base price modifiers of your chosen additional abilities. This number leads to an equivalent magic bonus on the weapon, which you then look up on Table:Weapons, located in the Magic Items Section of the Core Rulebook, under the Weapons tab. You then pay the difference between the old equivalent bonus and the new equivalent bonus. For your case
Wounding, +2 each, 2 heads.
This adds with the original enhancement to an equivalent +3, 2 heads :: 18000x2 = 36000. (Core Rulebook, Magic Items, Weapons)

If you were starting with a +1 on both heads, you would subtract the cost of the initial magic (to a total of 32000) however, as you are starting from scratch, you pay for both enhancements. (Ultimate Campaign, Campaign Systems, Magic Item Creation, Upgrading)

To summarize
Base Weapon :: 60
Masterwork :: 600
Magic :: 36000

Total :: 36660

Does the weapon maintain the +3 to hit and on damage or does making it magic take up it bounces.

[00iCon]

The end product is a "+1 Wounding/+1 Wounding Orc Double Axe". The bonuses are taken up by the enhancement.

Maximum of +10 for enhancement(i.e. hit and damage) and Special Abilities, and a maximum of +5 for just enhancement.

Minimum of +1 enhancement if a special ability is added (as mentioned before).
