Let's ignore the relic bonuses, to keep things simple (since they require further expenditure of resources to activate anyway). 1) 3 400 * 10/7 = 4 857 (Take out the alignment restriction discount) 2) 4 857 - 2000 = 2 857 (Take out the +1 enhancement bonus) 3) 2 857 - 400 = 2 457 (Remove the cost for a basic masterwork composite longbow.) Now you can round up the value to 2 500 gp, or round it down to 2 450 gp. [/QUOTE]
