Fantasy Price List
From Xeriar
Jump to navigationJump to searchI'm basing the following off of sources I've gathered [here] (will net a few more as time goes by). The basic assumption is that character's will be purchasing things with silver coins that have 1% of a pound's worth of fine (.999 purity) silver.
- 1 Pound = 92.4 coins
- 1 Crown = 23.1 coins
- 1 Shilling = 4.62 coins
- 1 Farthing = .385 coins
- 1 Mark = 61.6 coins
Obviously, numbers are going to be rounded and adjusted slightly, especially as prices vary over time. Even then, this is a rough list, and as the first source link mentions, most such economies are barter economies - even with the powerful influence of the Guild or similarly spanning organization.
- Gold is assumed to be 12 times the value of silver in my Exalted games, 10 times in D&D.
- Dinars are halved and quartered in Exalted (silver bits). In D&D, silver coins still have their tenth-value copper counterparts.
- Prices will be adjusted to roughly 1450 terms.

- 1: This is obviously for working with plate, and at the price of such things, you do the best job you can. Simpler, less capable tools would cost a tenth or less.
- 2: The source price only lists three unnamed tools, so I work off quadrupling the price, as the entire set of tools was supposed to be a fairly significant cost.
