Although you can technically adjust for masterwork costs (but I don't recommend it, as even the Sage had trouble with the math when trying to do so).From the FAQ:"On page 217 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide, it statesthat “the cost of the masterwork quality and any magicalenhancement remains the same” regardless of a creature’sunusual size or shape. Adamantine and mithral both statethat items made from such material are masterwork qualityand the masterwork cost is part of the material cost listed.How much would a set of mithral chainmail barding for mywarhorse cost?A strict reading of the rules indicates that in such a case themasterwork cost for armor should be subtracted from thespecial material price before applying the multiplier for anyunusual size or shape of the intended wearer.For example, according to the Armor for Unusual Creatureschart on page 123 of the Player’s Handbook, a set of chainmailbarding for a warhorse (a Large nonhumanoid creature) wouldnormally cost 600 gp (four times the normal cost of 150 gp). Aset of mithral chainmail barding would cost 16,000 gp: 600 gpfor the chainmail barding plus 15,400 gp (the cost of mithralmedium armor [4,000 gp], minus the masterwork cost forarmor [150 gp], times 4)."</blockquote>
