Crafting Confusion

[Yuukale]

So guys, I'm trying to figure out some crafting stuff:

If I have the Extraordinary Artisan Feat (-25%) and I am a Craftsman Apprentice (-10%) trying to craft a +3 Broadsword (18.050 gold), what would be the final price?

Is it 25%(E.Artisan) of 18.050 = 13.537 -10% for a total of 12.183/2 = 6091

OR

is it 35% (Artisan+Apprentice) of 18.050 for a total 11,732/2 = 5866 ?

Do I apply all the reducers at the same time or do I apply them separately?

-35% multiplication in D&D is additive.

In the campaign im playing this is the crafting order of operations:

1. Any feat or class feature that grants a general discount (apprentice, magical artisan)

2. Any discount from restrictions on the item

3. 50 % from making it yourself

4. Ebberon feats.


So for instance, say im making a 2000 gold magic item.

First i apply my apprentice feat making the new total 1800

Next because im restricting it to my alignment you multiply 1800 by .70
to get 1260 (notice how this would have been 1200 even if i would have just added them together.)

Then because im crafting it myself i get to pay half that: 630

next i have an eberron feat, which lets me multiply 630 by .75 for a final GOLD cost of 472.5.

Whats important to remember is that the EXP and TIME to craft the item are all based off of the discounted number that you have BEFORE you take off your crafting discounts. So in this case we would use 1260 to determine our exp and time expenditures (not counting any ebberon feats you have)

Another question:

Can I craft a weapon or armor using the "specific class/alignment" cost reducer or are they only appliable to wondrous items ?

Those reducers can be applied to any magic item, but they are even more DM-approval-dependent than many of the other guidelines.
