Ive read through the cost reduction handbook and a few other locations on reducing the cost of an item during item creation.
Using my currently available cost reductions
25% extraordinary Artisan 10% apprentice
I'm seeing that the initial thought of application is an oder to reduction.
Item price 10,000G
10,000*0.50=5,000 (1/2 base price to craft)
Then I'm told the reductions apply to the craft price?

When determining the gold piece cost in raw materials you need to craft any item, reduce the base price by 25%.
- Does it mean the base price of the item itself? Eg 10,000*0.75=7,500
Or does it mean off the craft cost. Eg 5,000*0.75= 3,750
- Is the crafting really additive?
(5000−((5000/100)*25)=3750) 3750-((3750/100)*10)= 3,375
Or
is it accumulative with the original reduction. 5,000-((5,000/100)*35)=3,250
If the former, in what order do you apply these reductions?
Does the cost change if you apply them differently?
If you do this accumulative reduction bit by bit does it come out the same no matter what order you apply the reductions in?
