Each background has its own nuances in costs and available equipment. These tables include all the equipment normally available in the various milieus, and the cost in the currency each uses. Occidental prices are all in gold, with many items listed at fractions of a gold piece. It will be simple enough to convert remaining fractions to smaller coins once all purchases are complete. Also, some items were re-priced in MyWorld, if the cost in silver pieces was greater than one gold piece, or greater than some other item priced in gold which should be more expensive.
Oriental prices are more complicated, as they are controlled by the values of the coins used.
Players will likely have to convert between coin types in order to acquire some items. For convenience, if the Tael is a dollar, the Ch ien is a ten dollar coin, the Yuan is a nickel, and the Fen is a penny. However, the change will not convert at the same ratios when changed to occidental money. Characters will begin the game with the equipment which they purchase, and will be allowed to purchase or acquire additional equipment as available within the milieu. Non-occidentals should be aware that equipment from the occidental list is the only equipment normally available for sale in the occidental worlds of the MyWorld campaign, although other supplies may be found in the larger, somewhat distant, cities.
