[QUOTE="getquarked, post: 8457867, member: 7033061"] I think that my issue here then, is that a Composite Bow, which costs 200gp, only costs 500 gp to have the +1 version of, while the longsword is 20, costs 500 gp to have the +1 version of. Getting a "Fine Compound Bow"costs 225 gp (200 for materials, 25 for the production cost) while a longsword would only cost 45. comparing that to the base item cost of 500 requiring materials of 250, its 25 gp of extra material, including reagents, for the composite bow, with longsword needing an extra 205 gp. I suppose the thing i'm unclear about is that the "base components cost", since you specifically need to be making it fine. If the creating a magic weapon incorporates that, then youre right its probably just the 250 + special material cost. It makes a lot of sense, I didnt actually see the armor table before I made this, and that seems to be pretty comprehensive. So i'm starting to think you're right with that solid 500 as the calculation point. In this case, I guess the question is "whats the point of making a fine weapon ever if the cost is included into the build anyway" And, in turn, the DC for a fine weapon is 20, but magical items are 15; so does that mean you shouldnt EVER build a fine weapon?
