[3.5] Item creation help.

and what crafting feats reduce cost?



Ninja answered some of my questions, but link is dead... at least for me.

Legendary artisan and extraordinary artisan are both out of eberron campaign setting reduce xp and gold costs by 25% respectively. Both have a prereq of 1 item creation feat.

I think you're getting confused on pluses for special abilities, a +1 weapon with a +1 ability is the same price as a +2 weapon with no special abilities. IF you upgrade an item from a total of +2 to +3, you take the price for +3 and subtract +2 (in this case 18,000 for +3 -8,000 for +2, and you' have the upgrade cost of 10,000 of which you'd have to pay 5000 gp and 400 xp to make yourself and spend 10 more days upgrading it. )
