[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9505653, member: 93670"] Prices are listed for a relevant unit of each item. Some examples are one greatsword (30gp/each). Rather than finding a crate in the barracks with 300gp worth of greatsword & 500gp of heavy crossbow under a bag with 50gp worth of ginger you find a crate with 10 greatswords & 10 heavy crossbows with a 50 pound bag of ginger. The relevant unit for nearly every spell component is pounds even if much of the weight is the container & care needed to keep it safe (ie like 1pound potions that only contain a couple ounces) Might as well give some eyeball measurements [URL='https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/largest-diamond-since-1905-unearthed-by-miners-in-botswana-180984962/']one pound of diamond[/URL] instead of ounces since the inventory & carrying capacity is measured in pounds... That one is notable because it's a single diamond, diamonds themselves are pretty common (and cheap) if you don't care about flaws because you plan to grind it to dust. When you don't care about the quality of the diamonds used & just want dust though, [URL='https://hitechdiamond.com/products/diamond-powder?variant=33578765647917']diamond dust is super cheap[/URL] with just under 2268 carats to a pound & that link lists 3000carats at 30$. :) [/QUOTE]
