Great help both of you. I wasn't planning on spending money, but it looks like a couple of those booklets have some really good stuff in them. And Yes, I have personal issues when interacting with people who don't see the larger picture of things. What we don't understand...

Thanks, BTW, I'm also open for random things like...dragon horns, or ogre dung. Odd stuff that you might have come up with prices before in a campaign, and possibly any reasoning behind said price so I can make note of it.

I think the point was missed, and then hit a bystander in the stands... Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible I did the math in an attempt to prove you can't have a ladder of that length with the sides made out of planks and still have sufficient tensile strength. Turns out if the build used...

On the contrary I generally agree with you when dealing with the regular realms of D&D. The question then is, can humans breed with Dwarves, and if so then there's at least a 50% chance that Dwarves are compatible with Orcs.

Ladder - 5 cp Pole - 2 sp You buy 20 ladders with a gp, you break them up and sell the 10 foot poles at half market value for 4 gp. You keep doing so until the town/city runs out of ladders or the price of poles decreases. This is simply an example of how WotC did some bad pricing. If I say...

Or.. Are you familiar with the infinite money loop using 10 foot Ladders and 10 foot poles? I'm also sorry, but I'm being exasperated by so called "advice" that's helping me get no where. I'm not new to D&D, I didn't come here for advice, I came here for sources you guys may use for Raw...

Two words, Home Brew. Real World data is only a foundation for the work. Most rare materials like Adamantite and Platinum of course need magic to be used. If I make stuff up then it will be unbalanced, I'm not going to suddenly tell the people in my campaign that the local stone depot tripled...

@airwalkrr , no your wrong, everything does not revolve around humans. Question, how does she know she's pregnant with the half-breed? Was she celebrate? Is she considered so ugly that no male Dawrf will touch her As was already said, with dwarves it would probably be culturally acceptable...

I'm looking for data not historical opinion. And on a general note yes, not all types were known, however an expert gem cutter could differentiate many types based on many factors such as hardness (1822, Mohs hardness, or 300 BC, On Stones a much more archaic but effective method). Or Lattice...

Thanks Rumbletiger, I can only assume that the DM that uses these tables will in turn keep record of what is low in demand and therefore apply it to other items accordingly, as with economics there's no true way to predict such changes. I'm also looking for non-historical examples, if you know...

I should have gone into greater detail. I have familiarized myself with the nuances precious and semi-precious stones and have a list of over a hundred different types, including but not limited to the different colored sapphires (pink, gray, yellow, violet, etc..). Basically I'm creating a...

I've never been satisfied with gems being only a certain set monetary amount. Sure some DM's would rather not go to the trouble, however I'm one who would. Currently I'm going through history books attempting to find values for different size and quality gems during different time periods so...
