The Ultimate Equipment book is vague on the cost of upgrading items.
That said, i bought a Body Wraps of Mighty Strike for my monk with the purpose of upgrading for versatility. And i'd like to upgrade it... but i am confused.
So, simply-
1> If an enchantment has a price of "+1 Bonus" that simply means i have to pay to upgrade BWoMS to +2, then apply the enchantment- making it a [Enchanted] BWoMS +1, correct?
2> Does each enchantment count as a "+1" in regards to further upgrading?
meaning my E1/BWoMS+1 is effectively a BWoMS+2 and i need to spend the cash to upgrade it to +3, before i can apply a second enchantment?
Or can i just upgrade it to E1/BWoMS+2 again and apply the second enchantment? E1/E2/BWoMS+1?
3> Do elemental effects stack? like can i have Acidic/Fire/Frost/Shock on one weapon, or not?
Ideally, i'm looking to upgrade my Body Wraps twice, but i'm also seeing if it's more cost effective to just buy Monk's Robes.
Unrelated, how many enchantments can you slap on an Amulet of Might Fists and still keep it at a +0.
Amulet of Many Fists never has to have an enhancement bonus.
On the BWoMS you can combine any melee melee weapon special abilities (Yes you can have Acidic/Fire/Frost/Shock on the same one).
To figure out cost you have to figure out the change in effective bonus and pay the difference from the BWoMS you have to the one you're going to.
If you've simply got the +1 and are going to a +1 w/Acid/Fire/Frost/Shock you're going from a +1 equivalent to a +5 equivalent (+1 enhancement plus 4 +1 equivalent special abilities), so you're paying 75,000 - 3,000 = 72,000gp based on the costs below.
All enhancement bonuses count as a +1 and the cost of the weapon special ability is outlined in each abilities description and range from +1 to +5.
+1 bonus 3,000 gp; +2 bonus 12,000 gp; +3 bonus 27,000 gp; +4 bonus 48,000 gp; +5 bonus 75,000 gp; +6 bonus 108,000 gp; +7 bonus 147,000 gp

okay, so if i did want a double-enchanted Body Wraps, it'd be twice the cost of Monk's Robes.
I wanted to craft a Defending [Elemental] BWoMS+1 to be a 'replacement' for the Robes, because as a Hungry Ghost Monk- i don't have Stunning Fist, and the Robes don't confer the additional usage to archetypes that replace Stunning Fist (unless it's been errata'd).
But at twice the cost, it's not worth it.
