Gem values

First off, we need to establish the common currency found in the world of Midrast Wain - gems. Gems of different sizes, colors, types, be they aquamarines, rubies, diamonds, gold nuggets or emerals - all these are converted to a universal Gem value. For clarification, one carat is equivalent to 200 miligrams and as such, most of these gems are found in pieces of about 10 - 100 carats.
For GMs: If you want to simplify the calculations, you may simply note that the player found a ruby worth 12 gems rather than tell them how many carats their precious stone has.

Generally, all dragons earn about 2 gems per day of work. The more privileged individuals earn more and may have a free Dusk feasting meal included in their pay grade. Note that some smaller societies and tribes may not even have a currency system and instead only trade goods and services amongst each other, this is especially true for Wild dragons.

Items

Armor

^{Crafted by Purveyor - Armorer and Leatherworker}

If a character wishes to conceal the fact they have a weapon or some other suspicious item with them, they need to roll a stealth check. The DC is higher depending on the size of the bag, with smaller bags DC being higher. Characters attempting to wear bags filled with items requiring higher strength than their Characteristic allows them will be unable to fly, run or swim and can't participate in Encounters unless their burden is dropped.

Vanity items

^{Crafted by Purveyor - Engraver/Leatherworker/Woodcarver and Hunters}
Many creatures of Midrast Wain see value of others based on how presentable and rich they appear. The higher circles of nobility may refuse to speak to a dragon or gryphon without anything to their name but may be more willing to listen if they wear a particularly rare necklace.
