[PnP] Re: Weapon and Armor making

[Choinski, Burton]

Well, I have been working on may armor and weapons excel chart, tweaking "material cost percent" and base price in order to get the overall "material cost/pound" to be somewhat the same for weapons of the same class.

The resulting prices are not quite canon, but have the advantage of being internally consistent.

When I finish I'll post my results and people can make their own call on whether or not to use it, but Wout should definitely mark this one with the "derivative" stamp since prices diverge greatly from Richard's originals.

(example: Club.  Old price 12CC, new price 15BB

Even worse example: Flail: old price 2GC, new price 20CC.

Jiggering the ranged weapons in this involved some trickery in order to get a high price, without a stupid construction time, still a work in progress.

>In 2004 or 2005 Scott and I had a discussion about costs for iron as raw material. Most of the discussion was in icq. Perhaps he has better records than I. We came to a conclusion about costs for iron ore, pig iron and quality iron - but I forget what that conclusion was.

Unfournately that was long ago and I forgot much of those details.  I could go through ICQ logs but it would take some time to do so.

I do know we both had major talks on a simple concept called Anchors.  Based on historical data from about 8 websites and the books I read I argued over the costs for a simple 1 pound anchor.  Finally came up with the pnp price.  I expanded on it based on even weights of various tiers.  The seagear article I just posted has the anchor costs which could be more or less used as a price for ore in some ways.  

Problem again comes down to smelting and getting the good stuff out of the ore and not all cultures can do that.
