Price list of Nima

Magic items bought, sold and priced

By Appointment to the Commander of Fort Venture, dealer in Magic Items

In Association with Quázil, Licensed by His Majesty, the King of All Dwarves to deal in Mithril

Price list as revised with effect from 1 Estender 2504

NB

1. Nima and Quázil's shop in Fort Venture opened on 22 Kemel 2503 .  The pricelist was revised with effect from 1 Sarm 2503, 16 Oscow 2503, 14 Weven 2503 and 12 Sarm 2504.  The shop was closed from 8 Kemel 2504 to 12 Sarm 2504.
2. On 20 Lastra 2504 Nima announced that he was winding down his business in Fort Venture.  He will open on advertised days only for the sale of thievish items and non-standard weapon enchantments (such as flaming). With Quázil, he will also price and buy magic items.  This leaves Kâko of Dwarf Hold as the leading high-profile dealer in Magic Items in the Overworld, but Kâko's location in Dwarf Hold (which is still under tight military security) is problematic for many non-Dwarven, non-Lawful adventurers.

Mithril-tipped weapons and enchantments to A, P, PD, DAM

Flaming Enchantment

Disemboweling - increase in Base Cost

Weapons are manufactured with mithril in the point and cutting edges. This gives bonuses to damage as stated in the Base Specification. The two figures refer to damage bonus vs. flesh and vs. armour respectively. The mithril will also damage certain creatures that are vulnerable to silver but not steel.

Weapons can be purchased with or without enchantments. Available enchantments include +1 to +4 to one or more of A, P, PD, DAM. Higher enchantments (+5 and +6) are available by negotiation. Melee weapons can also be enchanted to deliver one two or three dice of fire damage. The dice specification and the price for given dice of flame damage are given above. Disemboweling is available on mithril-tipped melee weapons as shown.

Enchanted weapons will damage certain creatures which are not vulnerable to silver or steel.

Pricing example 1: A Stiletto doing +2A and +2DAM (+3DAM vs armour) together with d4 of flame damage costs 38,000GP. This is calculated as follows: 900GP (base cost) + 13,500GP (double plus to A) +3,600GP (single plus to DAM) +20,000GP (for flaming).

Pricing example 2: A Halberd doing +3DAM (+4DAM vs armour) together with +d10 of flame damage in a normal attack, and 2d8 +d10 flame when disemboweling, costs 66,600GP.  This is calculated as follows: 6,000GP (base cost) +600GP (10% for 2d8 disemboweling) + 60,000GP (for flaming).

Pure Mithril Range

Enchantments and disemboweling prices as above. Nima will quote labour-only price if customer supplies the pure mithril.

Pricing example 3: A Taper Axe doing +5A and +5DAM (+6DAM vs armour) together with 3d6 of flame damage costs 536,250GP. This is calculated as follows: 48,750GP (base cost) + 198,000GP (quadruple plus to A) + 49,500GP (double plus to DAM) +240,000GP (for 3 dice of flaming).

Enchanted Armour, Shields and Other Items

Enchantments for pluses to ADS (or interpose in the case of shields)

Mithril and Pure Mithril items (no effect on shattering)

Strengthen Metal (shattering more likely)

Each ADS plus from Strengthen Metal reduces by 6 the minimum damage that will shatter a shield or reduces by 12 the damage needed to shatter the armour.  Nima only offers Strengthen Metal on items that bear an enchantment that Nima has procured. 

Pricing example 4: enchanted steel breastplate of Min ADS:5 and Max ADS:8, with shatter resistance 48, costs 22,500 GP.  This is calculated as follows: no additional charge for the steel, 18000 GP for +1 ADS enchantment and 4,500 GP for +2 ADS Strengthen Metal.

Pricing example 5: enchanted mithril buckler of ADS:6, with shatter resistance 18, costs 13,450 GP.  This is calculated as follows: 6,300 GP for the mithril buckler giving ADS +1, 6,300 GP for +1 ADS enchantment, and 850 GP for +1 ADS Strengthen Metal.

Pricing example 6: enchanted pure mithril buckler with +3 to interpose, ADS:11, with shatter resistance 30, costs 132,850 GP.  This is calculated as follows: 22,750 GP for the pure mithril buckler giving ADS +2, 52,500 GP for +3 to interpose, 52,500 GP for +3 ADS enchantment, and 5,100 GP for +3 ADS Strengthen Metal.

Pricing example 7: enchanted pure mithril visored helmet of Min ADS:11 Max ADS:14, with shatter resistance 72, costs 254,250 GP.  This is calculated as follows: 48,750 GP for the pure mithril helmet giving ADS +2, 198,000 GP for +4 ADS enchantment, and 7,500 GP for +3 ADS Strengthen Metal.
