Technically, all it takes is the feat, some time, XP and resources. The feat and XP are basically just functions of level and both should be relatively easy to come by given the apparent omnipresence of combat. If you want to view item creation as a long careful process requring great skill. that's one way to rationalize things, but the RAW supports as well or better it just being a question of taking some time to stuff some of your caster's mojo into an item. Keep in mind that this won't necessarily alter your setting much. Like I mentioned it can take months of effort to make a MW item and you need that before you have something to enchant. So the bottle neck might be the availability of MW items for enchantment rather than the enchantment its self. Also there is that geometric progression in cost, so while a +1 or +2 item could be done in less than a week a +5 (total bonus) item is going to take a Month (25k cost-25 days). So low cost items might be available at something close to D&D standard, but anything above a +3 bonus is going to be very dear indeed. MW Component (ex 300 gp for item) Crafter total skill of +17 (probably 10-12 ranks, +int, +2 MW artisan's tools)DC of 20  All this means with an average roll of 10 will get you 54 gps worth of work done on just the MW component in a week or that it will take you roughly 6 wks JUST for the MW component of a weapon. A Mighty Composite Bow +4 would cost another 500 gp and take something close to another 9 weeks. So that's roughly 4 months of effort for a skilled 6-8th lvl crafter. MW Full Plate is 2,150gp for just steel, never mind adamantite or mithril...</blockquote>
