OK This is a pretty detailed subject that I'm sure everyone understands but me...

I'm trying to create a Undead Bane Longsword +1...

The way I have it calculated it is only costing me...

2315gp and 160xp to create.

That seems mildly low. The price to make it a +1 weapon is 1/2 the base price(2000) = 1000. The price to make it Baned is in the book +1 bonus(2000). 1/2 that = 1000. Ok and the 315gp is for a masterwork longsword. 1/25 the base price (+1 for enhancement and +1 for bane) -> 4000 * 0.04 = 160xp.

I know there is a flaw here some where. Please by all means point it out so I can better understand this.

Thank you in advance,

I think I should be summing the modifiers. +1 and then the +1 for the bane = +2 (8000gp) one half of that is 4000.

That would make this weapon 4315 and 320xp. Which seems a bit more on par.

Am I getting close?

This is the correct method. Add all enhancements together first.
