I know that in SR3 orichalcun was listed as 88,000 nuyen a unit, but I can't find the unit price anywhere in SR4/A. Does anyone know the price per unit in SR4/A, little help. I've give my team as random loot a bar worth 5 units of orichalcum, but I have no clue as to its street value, is it the same price as in SR3? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif)

Ahhhhhhh, my Orichalcum investments lost value. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead.gif) Not really. 50k in SR4 nuyen is worth about 200k in SR3 nuyen, so even with the decrease from 85k to 50k, you've more than doubled your money (kinda). Then again, I guess if you had just held on to the 85k you'd still have 85k. Reverse inflation is weird. |

And Orichalcum will get more aviliable with the rise of magic... So better don't use it as a deposit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Awesome. And since gold is one of those things that remains fairly constant in relative value, we can determine that 1 nuyen ~ $10. Over the course of my lifetime prices in Canada have risen roughly by a factor of 8.3. Hmm, that seems really off. In my lifetime gold has risen from $35.00 an ounce to approximately $1350.00 an ounce, a factor of roughly 38.6. |

I just updated Alchemy at SWW to include troy ounces as well as avoirdupois.
For the curious, an ounce (troy) of non-magical gold is worth about:
For everyday goods, the following works well as a basic assumption.

Gold is subject to a lot of polite fictions. You know how Publilius Syrus said that things are worth whatever purchasers are willing to pay for them? Well, for much of history, it's been convenient to say that gold has a "stable" price, so lo and behold, it has often maintained its value over pretty long periods of time. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy if there ever was one, but these days gold is subject to a lot more speculation simply because there are more people willing to treat gold like any other commodity that can be claimed from the earth. It leads to a wacky situation where the people with a quasi-religious belief in gold's stability are often the ones most directly responsible for spiking the prices.

I had forgotten that Shadowrun's "refined" is the closest equivalent to mundane finished goods, since "radicals" are hand processed and magically useful.
Based on that I updated my previous post. |

Blame the Comet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/twirl.gif) Yeah finding natural lines of Orichalcum really dropped the price quickly. |
