This is a basic conversion, but, I attempted to attach a value to every single item mentioned in every single book in 1e. Yes, some of the prices are a bit 'weird'. This chart is basically an attempt to consolidate all of the canon info on prices presented in Manacle and Coin, 1e Core and a few other places. Every price in here, with maybe 2 exceptions I added in the course of play, is printed somewhere.

 

That doesn't mean it's sane. :P Just that it's printed somewhere. So, this chart can give you a 'baseline' to adjust to your preference from.

 

I also tried to find a rate of exchange for Creation currency with American currency, so I could better explain the price of various goods to my players. It's far easier to explain a Daiklave costs 2 million bucks.

 

This is the result! This is meant to be a helpful chart for those inclined to use it, not a canonical definition of reources on the MUSH.
