Hi all,

I'm new to this quiet list. :^)

I have a GURPS question.

When calculating the value of magic weapons, how does the multiplier
for Fine/Very Fine waepons work? I see two options:

1. Calculate the value of all of the enchantments, use the Magic
sourcebook formula to calculate into a dollar value, then multiply
the total by 4 for Fine or 20 for Very Fine. Example, Very Fine
Broadsword with Accuracy (+1) and Puissance (+1) comes to:

Broadsword cost: $500.00
Accuracy: 250 energy = $4,510.00
Puissance: 250 energy = $4,510.00

Subtotal: $9,520.00
Multiply by 20 for Very Fine sword
Total: $190,400.00


2. Calculate the price of the weapon using its base price then
multiply by the Fine/Very Fine multiplier, then calcualte the value
of the enchantments and add all lines. So the same sword would come
to:

Broadsword cost: $500.00
Very Fine multiplier x20
Subtotal 1: $10,000.00

Accuracy: $4,510.00
Puissance: $4,510.00
Subtotal 2: $9,020.00

Total: $19,020.00



Huge difference!


Looking forward to your thoughts,


Braz.
