Magic double weapon pricing

[Malessa]

Hello,

I'm working on creating some magic weapons, and I have a few double bladed swords in the mix. A question came up about pricing.

I know each blade is enchanted separately, so...

Would, for example, a +2/+1 sword be priced as a

+3 weapon (18,000 gp +double masterwork cost + item cost),

or as a +2 weapon and a +1 weapon separately (10,000 gp + double masterwork cost + item cost)?

It makes a BIG difference, especially on some of the more powerful/pricier swords I've got goin'. Input appreciated!

Thanks

I believe you would price it just like you would separate weapons. So in the case of a +2/+1 double sword it would be:

(10,000 gp + double masterwork cost + item cost)

Although I'm actually not sure if you would have to pay double the masterwork cost..... Right now I'm leaning twards yes.

Each side needs to be MW (thus double MW cost) and each side is enchanted seperately. So the cost would be +2/+1.

Yup.
