These are masterwork items, uncommon among the less than wealthy, and valued as much for their maker's mark as for their utility. While not legendary, per se, they are rare enough for comment.Generally, only a crafter of 5th level or higher can construct such a thing. Calculate how many weeks it will take to craft the normal item (at 8 argur per day) and double that for materials and miscellaneous costs, then add 1 day at 8 argur/day per 1,000 gp of the standard enchantment cost. This is the base cost of the item; the cost for XP (based on advancement and annual pay scale for 5th level crafters) is approximately 0.5 krus per 1 XP.Captain Agina's sword is such a thing, constructed by Urales. Although mere crude iron, it has been carefully tempered, and carries some of its crafters' spark, making it more resistant to nicks, improving its balance and response, and lending it a weightier impact than normal. It is a +2 hit/dmg weapon, and is worth more than its owner.In terms of cost, Urales spent three weeks of crafting and eight days of enchanting on the sword, and in terms of craftsmanship, raw materials and time, the sword is worth 400 argur. The additional cost for the essence he put into the commission, however (320 XP), is roughly 1 1/3 years of his life worth of experience put into the sword, and can be costed at roughly 4,000 argur, or 160 krus. The final cost is about 176 krus.If there is any doubt that Captain Agina is well valued by her country, let that doubt be put to rest.Athana's SpearRoughly a century and a half ago, Athana lived and died. During her life, Dianas gifted her with a broad-headed spear during her quest to defeat the necromancer Math. The spear (including the haft) was made of celestial steel, and seemed perpetually stained by grapes. The spearhead itself was shaped like a grape-leaf, and a grape vine was sculpted along the length of the haft, along with a prayer to Dianas.All of the spears abilities were never revealed to history, but those known were:* The wielder could fight as well drunk as sober.* Stabbed deep into the earth, it could cause mighty grape vines to grow.* A sacrifice of wine (poured on the spear) caused it to grow to immense length, allowing a chasm to be crossed, a giant to be killed, and a truly epic hurling of the spear.The spear has since been lost (and in fact disappeared after Athana died defeating the necromancer), but would easily be worth a thousand or more krus.</blockquote>
