Now my question is since the armbow is the equavilant of +1 repeating light crossbow, and Gear having a +6 Base Attack does that mean he can do a full attack with the armbow and first off two bolts or just one? Also I did enhance them a bit adding +2 and spell swording to the blade, and +2 and shocking burst to the bow. Do I just add the prices of the enchancements together, because first the armblade got enhanced to a +2 weapon at level 5 and then I adding another +1 and the spell storing at level 10 which would total to 8,300 gp, correct?

Now my question is since the armbow is the equavilant of +1 repeating light crossbow, and Gear having a +6 Base Attack does that mean he can do a full attack with the armbow and first off two bolts or just one? If you are asking if you can fire two bolts off as a full-round action with a base attack bonus of +6/+1, then yes. Question about this, by the way. If one arm is a crossbow...and the other is a sword...how are you loading bolts into the crossbow? Also I did enhance them a bit adding +2 and spell swording to the blade, and +2 and shocking burst to the bow. Do I just add the prices of the enchancements together, because first the armblade got enhanced to a +2 weapon at level 5 and then I adding another +1 and the spell storing at level 10 which would total to 8,300 gp, correct? I'm personally too lazy to do the math, but you pay for the difference in cost. Were it a +1 (2,000 I believe) and you upgrade it to +2 (8,000 I believe) then you pay the 6,000 gp difference between the first and second.

Also doesn't it say in the campaign book for Eberron that the armbow reloads automatically til you run out of the 20 bolts that it makes everyday. Plus I kinda do lazy math too I just add up the enhancement costs indivually, such as I spent 4,000 to add a +1 and spell storing or would that be 8,000 instead since I am adding them at the same time? To better display this this is a flow chart original armblade (+1 bastard sword) > armblade at level 5 (+2 bastard sword) > armblade at level 10 (+3 spell storing armblade)

I think I see what you're trying to do. Whether or not you add them at the same time has nothing to do with it. You pay for the total cost of the weapon. A +1 Flaming Longsword costs the same as a +2 longsword, which is the base longsword cost, +300 for Masterwork quality, and 8,000 for the total of +2 enhancement. I think you're trying to add an additional +1 bonus for only 2,000. No. You pay for the total cost of the combined enhancement bonus of the weapon, not each bonus individually. Changing a +4 to a +5 is a lot more expensive than changing a +3 to a +4.
