Rune Swapping Price Question

[Squark]

Hello,

I'm in the process of swapping a +2 Potency Rune and a +1 Potency rune between weapons and struggling a bit with the syntax of the rules for doing so. The Relevant passage in the rules says, "If you're swapping, use the higher level and higher Price between the two runes to determine these values." Does that mean I use the price of a +2 Potency rune, 900 GP, or the difference between the price of a +2 Potency rune and a +1 potency rune, which would be 865 GP? As I type this out, I'm leaning more and more toward the former, but I wanted to double check.

When it says "between" it refers to what you are checking. So "between the 900 gp and the 65 gp rune" the higest is the 900gp one.

So you have to use the 900gp price one to find the cost.

Thanks. I'm not sure where I originally got it in my head that it was the difference between the two, but some ideas are stubborn. Well, it's only a 3.5 gp difference in transfer cost anyway.

Upgrading a rune uses the difference in cost.

Yeah, it's two different operations. One is removing one rune from 1st object and put it on the 2nd. And at the same time removing second rune from 2nd object and put it on the 1st. So, swapping. That's 10% of the higher level and higher Price between the two runes. Both runes remain.

Another one is to turn +1 potency rune into +2 potency rune on the same object. +1 rune is gone. That's upgrading. The cost is the difference of the two costs.
Plus possible arbitrary cost of work assigned by a GM.
