Is it a good price though? The average wage for a commoner is 2 sp per day. The equivalent to 100 days wages for a unskilled worker.
Skilled workers earn about 2 gp per day. So this represents 10 days wages. A better bargain for sure.
Adventurers are always loaded with money, so as players our view is skewed.
For the lower end calculating it as minimum wage it’s the equivalent of $5,800.
Not a bad deal, but quite expensive still
