03-05-07, 02:45 AM When a Mage enchant a masterwork longsword with a +1 enhancement. The enhancement cost 2000 GP according to the DMG, and the Mage will have to pay 1000 GP.

But what happens when the Mage will enhance the Sword again so it becomes a +2 sword. The DMG States that a +2 enhancement for sword cost 8000 GP. so the mage pay 4000 GP for the enhancement. Or do the Mage pay the difference between a +1 and +2 enhancement 6000 GP. The cost will then be 3000 GP.???

So.. i think 4000..

03-05-07, 03:08 AM you take the value of the upgrade, then subtract the value of the item pre-upgrade. Then divide in two. So your example would mean a cost of 3000 for the mage.
