04-10-08, 12:23 PM I won't say which AR this is on, but I was starting to prep an adventure recently and noticed:

+1 ghost touch breastplate (Adventure; DMG; 4350gp)

Now if I recall correctly:
Breastplate: 50gp
Masterwork: 150gp (would be 300 for a weapon)
Magic +1: 1000gp
Ghost-Touch: 15000gp (ghost touch is +1 for a weapon, but +3 for armor)

Total: 16200gp

This is a +4 equivalent armor and not +2 equivalent with weapon masterwork cost...

Which price should be used - i.e. do the party get really cheap access to nice anti-incorporeal armor?

You always use the actual price of the armor unless the AR specifically tells you to use a specific price as a discount. Price being listed at an incorrect price is relatively common.
