All Weapons, Armor, and Spells follow specific formulas to determine their base costs. Condition, design, and availability may also come into play raising or lowering prices slightly. However effectiveness is always the main factor.
Full Armors. Armor Accessories, and Weapons which possess special abilities, bonus's to hit etc.. will be much more expensive than normal weapons and armor of the same effectiveness. Special Abilities will generally add between $100 to $1000 to the price. If an ability would raise the price over $1000. it is probably too powerful.
Formula Equals: Damage Rating of Weapon Squared
+05 Damage Rating = $25
+10 Damage Rating = $100
+15 Damage Rating = $225
+20 Damage Rating = $400
+25 Damage Rating = $625
+30 Damage Rating = $900
+35 Damage Rating = $1125
+40 Damage Rating = $1600
+45 Damage Rating = $2025
+50 Damage Rating = $2500

Formula Equals: Hit Point Bonus X $5
+05 Hit Points = $25
+10 Hit Points = $50
+15 Hit Points = $75
+20 Hit Points = $100
+25 Hit Points = $125
+30 Hit Points = $150
+35 Hit Points = $175
+40 Hit Points = $200
+45 Hit Points = $225
+50 Hit Points = $250

Spells Which Dont Inflict Damage
Spells which dont inflict damage are divided into 4 Power Levels depending on their effects.
Power Level 1 = $150 10 MP's
Power Level 2 = $300 20 MP's
Power Level 3 = $600 40 MP's
Power Level 4 = $900 60 MP's
Misc Items and Rings will have their price determined by their granted abilities and special properties. Their is no formula for this. Simply guess. I will adjust prices as needed.
No Weapons over +40
No Armors over +200
No items with more than 1 special ability.
No spells over +140
Nothing ultra powerful.
