The spells required to craft the construct (or homunculi) do not determine the price. As for the XP cost, from  <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20050816a" target="_blank">Rules of the Game: Constructs (part 2)</a> : The MM homunculus' body requires 50 gp worth of materials to create (market price 150 gp, as per the craft skill [?]). I'm not sure if the total construction cost assumes that you made the body yourself or not - the XP cost doesn't add up either way. 78x25=1950, or 1950/2= 975 gp basic materials. It should be 80 XP (1000 gp basic materials + 50 gp for body materials) or 72 XP (900 gp basic materials + 150 gp for completed body).The ECS homunculi are hard to figure out too. The dedicated wright is fine, but the three others have odd XP costs. Edit: The ones in MoE make even less sense.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> I've been working on an Eberron artificer construct master myself.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> IMO you need Craft Construct and effigy constructs (from Complete Arcane) to make anything that can stand up to serious opposition in combat.</blockquote>
