Craft Magic Arms and Armor (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/feats.htm#craftMagicArmsAndArmor)
Weapon Properties (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicWeapons.htm)
Prices given for weapon properties are for batches of 50 arrows/bolts.

Treat enchanting fifty, as if enchanting one weapon, with the standard weapon costs.

Can you enhance fewer than fifty units of ammo? Like, say 5 +1 arrows of Demonbane?

I'm pretty sure there's no official stance on that, but I know DM's who just would say 1/50th the cost for a single arrow, half cost for 25, and so on.

Well, I'm pretty sure you can purchase fewer than fifty, like purchasing a semi- charged wand. It's the creation I am curious about.

Basically, the prices are done for a stack of fifty, so to make less, you just cut it up into fractions as necessary.

That's what they do for things like Sleep Arrows and Arrows of Slaying, after all - they just price it for a single arrow, since nobody's going to want 50 of them at once.

Makes even more sense than partial-charged wands, even: 'Hmm, I don't want to buy 50 arrows. Could I just get 15 instead?'

Shopkeeper takes fifteen arrows out of the pile and sells them to you.

I know that. I specified in my last post that my question is not one of purchase, but of creation.

By RAW, no.

By RAW, no.

There's a handful of exceptions to that - Sleep Arrows and Slaying Arrows, for instance, have individual list prices, rather than "batch of fifty" list prices.

By RAW, no.

But by RAI you can

found the table of costs on crystal keep - that was pretty dandy
