[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9334098, member: 7044462"] Doing some quick math. Worker gets 1 gold coin per day. We assume that coins are 22k or 24k gold. But it would probably be 4-5k gold. 1 coin is 9.2 grams. 1 gram of 5 karat gold (21% pure gold) is 14.4 euros. Worker earns gross 131 e per day, or 2880 e per month ( and he works 45 h per week for ease of calculatons). If you do math with 4k (17% gold), that is 11.54 per gram, or 103 euro for 9h work day. German minimum wage is 12.4e gross per hour. So your fantasy worker is making same as low skilled laborer in modern Germany. Buying that +3 full plate for 10650 gp is similar to buying a modern day armored up version of BMW 7. Simulating micro and macro economics in fantasy setting is not d&d's point. And to be honest, adjusting prices to reflect real world economics is PITA, so is modeling pc behaviour around real world.
