I could have sworn somewhere in the FAQ there was an article listing common prices for things in Pern. Bottles of wine, fancy cloth, a runner beast, you know things people would buy. It was just supposed to be like a general guideline so folks wouldn't charge 60 marks for the cake and three marks for a horse or something crazy like that in their posts. I can't find it anywhere though so I guess I imagined it or it got lost over time. In any case, anyone have any idea how many marks would be represented by about $10? Asking for a post that I'm working on with Avery. Would half a mark be about right?
ETA: or I'm just not looking in the right place. LOL which is actually the most likely scenario. 😂
