Price checks for some basic stuff + a pair of glasses

[Fox Owen Xavier]

Hello, I would like a price check on the following items:

Steel Dagger
Quarterstaff - I would like to know how much it would cost if made from each of the following materials: Oak, Yew, Akashima redwood, and Trakym Liviol.
Blow gun and darts - Not sure what materials would be best suited. Could you make a suggestion and give a price quote?


Glasses Frame that allows lenses to be easily inserted and removed. Maybe a button, clamp, or something to hold it in unless the lens is being replaced? Or I guess an enchantment or something if that isn't way more expensive.

Enchanted Lenses (Note: Price check for a single lens on the following)

Darkvision - Can see in pitch black as if it were daylight. Distance able to see is about the same as the user would normally be able to see in regular light
Magical Viewer - Can detect which items are magical. How much extra would it be to also be able to detect roughly what the magic does?
Heat Vision - Shows heat of surrounding objects. I guess this would be infrared vision?
Reader Lens - Allows the user to read any written form in a language he or she can understand.
Lie Detector Lens - Allows the user to "see" lies
Speed Reader's Lens - Allows the user to read through books at 5-10 times the normal rate.
Intent Lens - Allows the user to read the general intent of another person whatever it's anger, murder, or whatever. Doesn't necessarily show what it's directed at or caused by.

Okay Fox, you'll have to bear with me on a few of these items as I am seeking higher counsel on the proper manner of pricing. Your liviol being one of them. Otherwise, here is what I have:

Steel Dagger: 75 GP

Quarterstaff:


Oak: 75 GP
Yew: 75 GP
Akashiman Redwood: 1,125 GP
Trakym Liviol: 1,238 GP


Blow Gun:

This was an interesting request. For the sake of pricing and suggestion, I went with a length between 2-3 feet. The material was chosen based on rigidity, strength, and durability remarks in the material guide. The best choice for a blow gun would be the Talymer based on the naturally waxy nature of the wood. This will resist moisture penetration into the wood, require less treatment in the processing, and is incredibly strong. That would be my pick. Perhaps have it go Liviol and enchant it with the ability to amplify wind that passes through it. I only quoted base materials.


Polished Oak: 75 GP
Polished Cyper: 225 GP
Talymer: 450 GP
Laquered Akashiman Redwood: 750 GP


Darts:

Since these are relatively small, I am going to price them based on teirs. The optimal choices for these are metal, bone, or glass. Preferably a heavier metal to deliver more force and penetration with feathered backings. Otherwise, lightweight metals, bone, and glass with a flat, solid backing (more weight) and thin shaft for greater velocity. Both projectiles will be greatly influenced by crosswind. The heavier materials being less altered by environment than the lighter ones.


Tier 1: 5 GP/Dart
Tier 2: 7 GP/Dart
Tier 3: 10 GP/Dart
Tier 4: 20 GP/Dart
Tier 5: 30 GP/Dart
Mild Poison Coating (Disorientation/Fatigue): Add 20 GP/Dart


It may me more feasible to locate a smith to deal in darts crafted from adamantine or icemold considering their smaller size. Since the material itself is rare, smaller quantities that wouldn't be enough for a knife or dagger could still yield a dart or two. Consider this should you decide to quest with a smith for the material. Icemold would be the more logical choice, if you can find it, since it is a one time use material - perfect for projectiles.

The glasses are currently being priced and when I wrap my head around doing enchants, I will get back to you. Hopefully no longer than 48 hours.

Okay, for the lenses, this is what I have:

Enchanted Lenses using a Bronze Frame. The sides of the lenses have a simple latch that allow the replacement of each lens. To give you the price on them, I will break it down into parts since you will need to swap lenses in order to use the next enchantment. The lenses themselves are made of basic Calli Glass. These are of clear color. If you would like a way to differentiate them, I will also price you up a felt-lined carrying case that has labels for these lenses with a letter of your choosing. For those times you want to wear plain glasses, I included a plain pair too. Here we go:


Bronze Frame w/ Latches- 38 GP
Darkvision Calli Lenses (Pair) - 250 GP
Magic Detect Calli Lenses (Pair) - See Enchantment 150 GP --- Decipher Enchantment 200 GP
Ifrared Calli Lenses (Pair) - 250 GP
Translation Calli Lenses (Pair) - 150 GP
Lie Detector Calli Lenses (Pair) - 200 GP
Speed Read Calli Lenses (Pair) - 150 GP
Intent Calli Lenses (Pair) - 225 GP
Oak Lens Carrying Case w/ Felt Lining & Labels - 75 GP
Plain Calli Lenses (Pair) - 50 GP

For all of the Lenses, Case, and Frame: 1,588 GP

Keep in mind that the wear and durability of these glasses is no different than a normal pair. They will be difficult to keep on your face in combat or sudden movement. They are Calli glass and can shatter just like a window pane. The Bronze can also be easily warped or broken if not cared for. If you would like to upgrade these materials of construction, your prices will increase accordingly.

[EDIT] Your Liviol pricing is added to the post above.
