[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2721907, member: 35788"] [b]Gemstone Currency Exchange Table[/b] Enigmatica uses a a standardized table for gemstone conversions. Trade and economic conventions have developed greatly as racial tensions have eased, allowing for communication and even cooperation to prosper in the land. For the sake of economic prosperity, the lands use a standardized measure for money. All gemstones on the following table are cut to a standard size/clarity. Obviously, gems with less clarity will be larger while gems with greater clarity will be smaller - thus the monetary value remains constant. Gems used for monetary exchange have a special cut about them so that they are easily recognizable when compared to gems used for spellcomponents, for example. Currency Gems: [Code]Blue Quartz: 10 gp. Lapis Lazuli: 20 gp. Obsidian: 25 gp. Rose Quartz: 40 gp. Onyx: 50 gp. Sardonyx: 75 gp. Amethyst: 100 gp. Jade: 200 gp. Silver Pearl: 250 gp. Violet Garnet: 400 gp. Yellow Topaz: 500 gp. Black Pearl: 750 gp. Fire Opal: 1000 gp. Sapphire: 2000 gp. Ruby: 4000 gp. Emerald: 5000 gp. Jacinth: 7500 gp. Diamond: 10000 gp.[/Code] OOC Rationale: [Sblock]I realize this negates the need for Appraise(Gemstones) for the most part.
