Hi again,
in VGtC I have found this sentence:
"Lances are surprisingly good sellers, and the proprietor, the dwarf armorer Narthalin, is especially proud of his belts of six matched-balance everbright daggers (20 gp a set, firm)."
But inside Magic of Faerun you find that Everbright is a special ability with market price: bonus +2
Now, how is it possible that 6 daggers with Everbright costing 20 gp?
Bye

Part of it is that you're comparing a 2e book to a 3e book. There are two different economic scales at work between those two sources (VGtC being 2e, Magic of Faerun being 3e).
Second, if you compare the descriptions of "everbright" between those two sources, you'll find the 3e version is more potent than the 2e version. In 2e, it just means the metal can't be tarnished or dissolved by acid/rust monsters/etc. (see VGto All THings Magical). In 3e, an everbright weapon can also blind people a couple times a day. That right there is worth it's price in gold.
So, tl:dr, if you are playing 3e, use the 3e pricing structure. If you are playing 2e, use the 2e pricing structure. |

Thank you both for the answers.
Rils, I imagined that it could be a matter of issue, in fact I had thought of "creating" two types of Everbright: a minor one as 2nd ed. and a higher as from 3rd ed. What do you think?
dazzlerdal, good idea of the abundance of daggers. I will use it to justify the price of daggers with the Everbright 2nd ed. |
