Take 10 for 34 on appraise for a quick and dirty approximation!

Anastasia

Paste what you have on them from loot?

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Nephrite

15 bars of iron
15 bars of gold
15 bars of silver
15 bars of platinum
15 bars of aurorum

That's all I have.

Anastasia

Iron: 25 gold each.
Silver: 125 gold each.
Gold: 500 gold each.
Platinum: 1,000 gold each.
Aurorum: 1,200 gold each.

"If we sold all 15 of each, it'd come to about 43,000 gold, give or take." Moore says after some mental calculation.

Anastasia

"It is Afina's choice," Ilsenine says, "Use them for whichever you feel will do better for Aurora."

Ebiris

"Are you donating all of that sum for me to make things with, Moore?" Afina asks, since that's a lot of money.

Nephrite

"Oh, yeah." He nods and waves a hand like it isn't a big deal. "Considering everything going on, we should keep investing into Aurora's future."

Ebiris

"Then I happen to have an excellent idea for what to make," she casts a few floating disc spells to transfer the valuables onto a more portable format for her. "You will see the fruits of my endeavours soon, your Majesty, Moore," she bows to them both before vacating to the workshop.

And now I'm going off to do golem chargen for a bit!
Do the houseruled mithral golems still cost 250,000gp as per the SRD versions?

Anastasia

Do me some homework: What are the prices of other golems you've made and how do they stack up to mithral golems?

Ironwyrm golem is 225,000gp.
Slightly stronger, slightly lower AC, more attacks but they're individually less good and don't come with stun effects. More hd, lower damage reduction. Doesn't have all the cool freedom of movement/alacrity stuff but has a breath weapon. Much slower and can't fly. Does have old school complete magic immunity rather than just functionally infinite SR.

It's definitely competitive with the mithral golem, though I'd say the mithral golem edges it out a tad so the prices seem appropriate to my eye if we start from the assumption that the ironwyrm is fairly priced.

Slaughterstone behemoth is 170,000gp.
Slightly weaker, slightly lower AC, more attacks which are fairly competitive with the mithral golem's routine. Daze on hit rather than stun, 4 slams vs 3 for slightly less damage on each. Less hd and less damage reduction. Good trample routine and battlefield control via knocking people around it prone when it moves, compared to the barrier negating and haste stuff of the mithral golem. Extremely slow and lacking mobility, though it does have that fun tunnel fighting ability. Only has fairly low spell resistance rather than magic immunity, and a few low energy resistances to make up for it.

It's really good, but clearly a tier below the mithral golem, and again I think the pricing reflects that.

Anastasia

We'll go with 250,000 for now, see how that balances. Paste all this into loot.

Likewise, paste the info about the ingots into loot, Moore. Post when your end of it is done.
