Steel

[Erica Hart]

How much steel would 200gp buy?

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

Raw material, armour, weapons?

I will require more information to give you an accurate pricing.

[Erica Hart]

Raw material, it will be used to smith weapons and armor for The Trading Company. And roughly how many iron nails would it take to build a small house? One that is about 15x20ft?

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

I can sell you steel for 75 GP per piece. That means for your 200 GP, you can get two pieces, which will come to 150 GP. This will be enough to craft a short sword, or a curved sword, or light blade (rapier, etc).

As for your second question, to be frank, I have absolutely no clue as that would be dependent on many things - size of planks, construction of the frame, how many nails per board, etc etc.

If you'd like to simply bulk buy nails, I can sell you iron for 50GP, which will give you twenty nails.

[Erica Hart]

Alright. I don't think 20 nails would be enough to build a home no matter what the size. I would be good with wood as I would have to cut down trees to clear the land, which I could then turn into planks. Would I be able to transfer some gp from who I am building it for, to this account so I could buy more? I would think 200 nails at the most for the size it is.

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

If you get that person to post here, just to verify that they are willing to pay some of the cost, then we can deduct the gold from their account as well as your own, to make up the difference. That is perfectly acceptable.

Alright then. 450gp subtracted from e to pay for 9 iron ingots. (180 nails) and 200gp from Erica for 1 iron ingot and 2 steel ingots.

[Erica Hart]

Confirming that last statement.

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

That's shiny, kids.

Can I help you with anything else today, or will that be all?

[Erica Hart]

That shall be all. Thank you for your time.

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

No problem, and thank you for using the Bazaar.
