Purchasing Crafted Items

Crafting:

The Aventuria Compendium gives rules on how to craft items as a PC, but what about if your character instead wishes to commission work from a local blacksmith? As a new GM to the system, I was surprised to find this isn't covered. As such I spent some time discussing this with the other writers for this blog. Below are some guidelines we have put together to help do this.

Calculate the cost of the item as follows:

75% of the normal cost times the sum of manufacturing interval increases (e.g. folding technique is x5, modifications per compendium have their own interval increases.)

+

25% of normal costs times a modifier for the material costs (this isn't provided in the compendium, but please see our suggestions below)

Metal	Material Cost Modifier
Bronze	x.5
Dwarven Steel	X2
Iron	x.75
Great River Steel	x1
Khunhcom Steel	x1.25
Maraskan Steel	X1.5
Mirham Steel	X1.25
Prem Steel	x1
Sod Iron	x.9
Toshkril	x5
Uhdenmount Steel	x1
Wood
Bone	x.5
Cyclopes Cedar	x1
Ebony	x1.5
Horn	x.75
Ironwood	x3
Stone Oak	X2.5
Stone
Flint	x.75
Volcanic Glass	x.75
Cloth
Drolan Lace	x1.5
Phraisheep Wool	x2
Leather
Iryan Leather	x2
Wooly Mammoth Leather	x2

NPC craftsman max interval increases = crafting rank /2 (just as a guideline on how complex an item a craftsman might reasonably be able to make).

e.g.

• A Long Sword would cost 200 silverthalers (base price)

• A Mirham Steel Long Sword would cost. 212.5 silverthalers (50*1.25 for material + 150 for work)

• A Mirham Steel Long Sword that deals +1 DP would cost 662.5 silverthalers (50*1.25 for material + 150*4 for work)

• A Gambeson is 150 silverthalers

• A Phraisheep Wool Gambeson would be 187.5 silverthalers (37.5*2 for material + 112.5 for work)

• A Phraisheep Wool Gambeson that grants +1 PRO would cost 637.5 silverthalers (37.5*2 for materials and 112.5*5 for wok)

Prices of course, can be negotiated with commerce as normal!
