Equipment Prices

Weapons are not purchases. They are investments — often the largest a person below the Middle Caste will ever make. These tables list prices only. Mechanics, damage factors, and special properties live at Equipment.

What These Numbers Mean

The tables above are a price list. The numbers below are context.

“A Longsword costs a Lower Caste guard four months of wages. Full Plate costs a relay station channeler nearly two years of income. For the Casteless, a Dagger is a treasure.”

Acquiring real arms is not a shopping trip in Soltherra. It is a milestone. A character who starts play with a Longsword either saved for years, inherited it, or took it from someone who no longer needed it. The GM should treat weapons — especially blades above a Short Sword — as meaningful rewards, not incidental loot.

All prices on this page are baseline figures. GMs adjust freely based on availability, urgency, and how much the seller thinks they can get away with. Currency reference: Economy. Full occupation income table: Wages.
