What bonuses should steel weapons have? Cost?

Considering Bronze is "normal"

Maybe +1d2 damage? 20 times base cost?

Do you mean above and beyond the stuff delineated in the A&E book?

I thought that stuff was pretty advantageous.

I don't have the book in front of me, but I believe there was a significant AP / HP boost to the weapon and an ENC reduction.

There may also have been a +1 damage bonus, but I'm not sure about that.

It's actually defined best in the A&E errata found on the website:

Steel: Steel is an alloy of iron and either carbon, manganese, chromium, vanadium, or tungsten. Steel is harder and more durable than iron but require different smelting techniques to create which may not be known in all cultures. The process for creating steel is reflected in its x4 Cost Multiplier.

Items made from steel gain +1 AP. There is no increase in ENC.
