Note, it is not my intention to list every item, service, weapon, and animal that I can here. Instead, I seek to give you a general list for what I think are costs in a fantasy setting. From these you should be able to extrapolate to whatever you need. If you want more complete tables, almost any published Fantasy Role-Playing Game will have lots more entries than you will find here. Also note, all items are assumed to be of standard quality. Good or Superior quality items will cost more and be more durable, Poor quality items will cost less and be shabbier and more likely to break or dull.Finally, costs I have listed here without denomination. I use Silver Marks as the currency in my games, but you can just as easily figure it with dollar values. You can check out my SIMRPG fantasy setting, Skarppsey , for more information on Silver Marks and such.
