Goods and Services

Not all goods and services are available in all towns or all lands -- as an ST, you'll have to decide what is available and for how much. Below, however, is a small listing of examples to give you an idea of how much things cost in the lands of Carador. Remember that prices vary widely due to locale, season, demand, and often to the amount that the vendor likes or dislikes the buyer. Bargaining is the norm in all but the finest of shoppes, although in restaurants prices are usually fixed.

All prices are in silver coin. For prices of adventuring goods, including horses, see Equipment. You can get additional prices for goods under the Tome of Trade and Goods in the Library.
