Magic Item level and value

[SelinarYaez]

GMing PF2 for the first time. Party finds a showrtsword +1

Rules indicate to use Identify Magic action to determine what it is. Must use item level to determine DC. 2e.aonprd.com does not list showrtsword +1 ? How am I to know item level? Also, what if party wants to sell it. How am I to know value?

Thank you.

If all it says is '+1 shortsword' that means that it is a shortsword with a +1 potency weapon rune on it - which is a level 2 item. So that rune is what they are identifying and selling.

For identification DC, use the DC by level table.

And the price is listed in the rune item description. Things sell for half of their purchase price.

Thank you! Would be nice if runes was a reference on the short sword page.

Then they would have to do that to every weapon, and there are hundreds of them.

Instead, there's a page for "Magic Weapons" that cover all weapons.
