[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 5024937, member: 5890"] Like I said: we assume that it's not suitable for industrial production of ale (ie - you have to hold it and swig for it to work or something). One suit of deathcut armor buys 5000 mugs of ale. In the scenario where your party can only have a single mug between the attendees, you're not really going to get a party with more than about 10 people before things get ugly. So, 10 person party, lets go crazy and say they each drink a case (24 ales) every night. You've got 20 nights of that level of partying before a single deathcut armor is spent. And that's at tavern prices. It's not a very good proposition, even for a bunch of people who have no concern in the world except the consumption of cheap alcohol (and those sorts of people are not common in most fantasy mileu). Now, if the mug is suitable for mass production, all the problems go away. It doesn't matter how much the mug costs, because it's extremely powerful. You can recoup its price (over and over) by just selling ale. In that case it's probably worth vast sums of money. [/QUOTE]
