The Dragon Tablets: Iteration Three – Crafting Materials and Jobs

Celebrimbor's Smithy by ElbenherzArt.

Having looked at the supernatural parts of creating sellable goods, both alchemy and enchantment, we are now looking into the more mundane aspects of said activity, crafting. We will specifically look into GURPS Low-Tech Companion 3: Daily Life and Economics and Dungeon Fantasy 1: Adventurers.

The following tables are updated versions of a table from LT3 for The Dragon Tablets. Cost is how much the material costs. Production is how much of the material you can create in a single day. The notes with a number lower than 10 can be found in the original tables in LT3.
