Felaryan currency

I have begun to write about the complex topic that is curency in Felarya :

http://felarya.com/wiki/index.php?title=Currency

However, as you might know already, I'm really quite terrible at anything involving numbers so I'm not really sure the rate make sense.
Any opinion, suggestion or remark is very welcome

It's a little confusing and economy ain't my strong point. I personally suggest something like:

X of lowest currency = 1 of second lowest currency

X of second lowest currency = 1 of third lowest currency

X of third lowest currency = 1 of fourth highest currency


Because I think it keeps things streamlined.

With the Skevols being used on other worlds is it possible that they could be Vishmital in origin, afterall the Vishmitals possessed a Stellar Empire and thus would have large areas of both economic and political infulence.

i thinks he means cash tread and barter betwine the citys and towens like the weapons from a city for a serton amount of rice but each city would have its oun curintsie. that the ppl of the citys and its outlying protecteret use. (like spata had no mont systome and athens uses gonld and silver conins, and chinese used paper money.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, what does Faldong Gems look like.

I think we'll also need information on how much of one type of currency is worth compared to another, which might require some flash based web program.

What are you implying Bael?

oh nooothing xP

actually next semester I'll be taking a couple classes, intro to "web based animations with flash", and "intermediate concepts and action scripting with flash"

Well, I think the D&D books put information like this: 10 copper pieces equal 1 silver piece. 10 silver pieces equal 1 gold piece. 10 gold pieces equal 1 platinum piece. I think it's good that way because it shows the currency from lowest to highest while placing some form of exchange rate.

Or, if something is based on skevols, then I guess it should be like 100 skevols are worth 1 currency X 35 skevols are worth 1 currency Y. 10 skevols are worth 1 currency Z. And when some money are more valuable, it goes like 1 Currency A is worth 10 Skevols. 1 Currency B is worth 100 Skevols. It keeps things in an increasing order which I believe is for the best.

Just read Spice and Wolf. Besides a great light novel it presents some of the more difficult economic ideas/ideals in ways that most can understand.

The Adventurer's outfit is worth 1 FG. Are they priced for 1 carat FG?

Otherwise it seems fine. I may reduce the price for normal armor and reforging weapons. I don't think it's that expensive since it's not magical.

Yes 1 FG means basically 1 carat FG cut in a certain way so they are recognizable.

And yes Spice and wolf is just awesome ( I should make an Horo fanart sometimes XP )

Oh yeah, apologizing for the double post, I swear I thought I was editting, but what is the difference between a Good and Common Lodging/Meal? I can only guess a Poor Meal/Lodging would be the very bare minimum, maybe even less so. But what distinguishes Good quality services from Common quality services?

Suggestion: We should add a Deluxe quality for Meal and Lodging to give an approximation of how much the rich people pay.

Well, this does put the current average Negavian wage in perspective. Thanks a bunch Karbo.

I see this page getting ALOT of use.

Juuust a little... bittle... detail, everyone.

That part about meals "Good, average, poor"... with the D&D reference... is it really necessary? Far as I recall, good meals don't cost that much, except in times of famine: it's meals full of minerals you don't need and nutrients you didn't even know you had that cost the most.

The Player's Handbook makes for a very poor reference in matters monetary. We should instead check the prices in some mining town that imports all its food, bonus points if it exports uranium... or maybe an informatic hub of sorts. Is anyone at such a location?

Oh yeah, how much do you think a gold piece would be worth compared to skevols?

I imagine a skevol would be a tad cheaper, but still way more than a silver.

also, i imagine that meals would just be based on the content of whats in it. obviously a potato and a few slices of bread aren't worth the same.

I notice that Negavians are skeptical of bank notes, based on the havoc they wreak on other worlds.

I imagine some who have heard of Earth have read this book.

a copy could be hidden somewhere in the library. it'd be interesting if someone got lost in there and survived so long he entered another world, but that's for another topic.

I don't understand what's in the book.
