well looks like I'm under pricing my shop if that's food prices...
Was a loaf of bread really 38% of daily wages? That seems pretty high.

Bread was very important to people, since it was a staple food that could be easily made and last a while while providing both energy and filling the stomach.

So I've finally gotten around to looking at prices, and I did some research.

The following table is pulled from medieval prices of stuff (source) (source) assuming an unskilled worker's daily wage of 2 pence per day = 10 G.

​

Item​	Unit​	Price (Earth)​	Price (AG)​
Wine (Bad)​	Gallon​	3d​	15 G​
Ale (Bad)​	Gallon​	0.75d​	4 G​
Bread​	Loaf (lb)​	0.1d​	0.5 G​
Eggs​	Dozen​	0.5d​	3 G​
Cheese​	Pound​	0.5d​	3 G​
Dried Fruit​	Pound​	2d​	10 G​
Chicken​	Whole Roast​	1d​	5 G​
Pig​	Whole Roast​	24d​	120 G​
Sugar​	Pound​	18d​	90 G​

​

Item​	Unit​	Price (Earth)​	Price (AG)​
Tunic (Terrible)​	1​	5d​	25 G​
Shirt (Peasant)​	1​	8d​	40 G​
Shoes (Peasant)​	1​	6d​	30 G​
Tunic (Peasant)​	1​	36d​	180 G​
Linen​	Yard​	12d​	60 G​

​

Item​	Unit​	Price (Earth)​	Price (AG)​
Axe​	1​	5d​	25 G​
Shovel​	1​	3d​	15 G​
Hammer​	1​	8d​	40 G​
Candles (Tallow)​	Pound​	1.5d​	8 G​
Barrel​	1​	3d​	15 G​
Bottle​	1​	4d​	20 G​
Bucket​	1​	6d​	30 G​

​

Item​	Unit​	Price (Earth)​	Price (AG)​
Bow​	1​	15d​	75 G​
Arrows​	Dozen​	7d​	35 G​
Sword (Terrible)​	1​	6d​	30 G​
Sword (Average)​	1​	120d​	600 G​
Sword (Good)​	1​	240d​	1200 G​
Cuirass​	1​	360d​	1800 G​
Chain Mail​	1​	1200d​	6000 G​
Plate Armor (Full Set)​	1​	4000d​	20,000 G​
Horse (Draught)​	1​	240d​	1200 G​
Horse (Riding)​	1​	1200d​	6000 G​
Cottage​	Annual Rent​	60d​	300 G​
House (Craftsman)​	Annual Rent​	240d​	1200 G​
House (Merchant)​	Annual Rent​	720d​	3600 G​

​

I wanted to get people's opinion -- how would people feel if I used this as a basis to put together more NPC shops?

The main thing of note is that armor is superrrrrrr expensive (going by historical prices).

Might it be best to put this in the Libary?

Jfc.... so this is saying that... my chars equipment is tooooooo expensive as a starter?????

He is wearing a plate set after all.

*goes back to the editing board to figure out how to preserve the plate set and saving up on money.*

 

[Zoey]

If you would like, go ahead with the research!

So I couldn't find a price for land (Because land was owned by the local lords and I'm to lazy to try to calculate a price based off of your table.) but I think we can assume that land outside the cities protection will be a lot cheaper than the land inside. So basically I don't know what the price would be.

Alright how are these prices? I've done the following adjustments:

• I doubled the prices for most things since food costs seemed cheap (...or at least, nothing like 10 G = daily cost of living). Clearly, a medieval's laborer's daily wages are much more than the cost of living.
• I removed a whole zero from armor prices and horse prices.
• I didn't adjust the weapon prices. The reasoning is that food is so much cheaper, so saving up 6 days of income shouldn't be too hard for most characters to get a sword.
• For magic... buying an introductory tome is expensive... same as the cost of buying a book in the medieval era.
  • Rationale is that "magic" builds in fantasy settings/games are traditionally expensive builds.
  • To compensate this, I added a "mysterious scribble of paper" item -- which might be a fragment of a book that a character can maybe attempt to study/interpret to learn a single spell. Learning something from a scrap paper isn't guaranteed, but it's far cheaper than buying a whole book.

Ok .Give me 30 minutes man I just got home.

I think IRL, the expensive part wasn't the house, but rather the land.

*escapes into the woods and builds a house*

I think people who can survive alone in the wilderness will have no problem making a house in like, halfway between gelderholm and scribel

 

[GDLiZy]

I thought I was somewhat rich since I have like 400 G, but now I felt poor again. Can't even buy a good old average sword...

Guess I would have to really sell my experiment results...

Did you need a GOOD SWORD?

It's just for comparison— However, Solet is a paladin so a glorious shield and an elegant hammer is a must. Guess we'll interact soon. Haha.

What about all the monsters like goblins who would ransack your house when your gone?

I'm looking forward to it.

Well whoever has a house in the middle of nowhere probably has good defense!!

I'm sure your if your a good enough with magic you could probably get away with it.

Make the house very nice then rent a part of the house to a strong adventurer. Provided they protect the house?

Survive alone in the forest. All alone. Have survival skill, can differentiate poisonous and healing herb, can hunt. I think my char is okay-ish in that department. Maybe I will make him have a small hut in the northern forest.
