In StormWrack a Tricorn HAT costs 50 gp.
Thats insane.
Thats the cost of 50 artisans outfits.
Why does it cost 50 gp?
I think this is madness. Please help.

Um... maybe it is made from the skin of a virgin elf?


The Bicorn hat is 50gp

The Tricorn hat is 15gp.

It's all about the quality of the item.

Bicorn is meant to be worn by Admirals

Tricorn is for the upper class.

It's just a masterwork hat, i guess


aahh Bicorn - 50 gp...
made of 1 lb of glod...

Surely a tricorn hat is made from the pelt of three different unicorns?

Why would you want to wear a three-horned version of a unicorn on your head and why would you pay 50 gp to do so?

It's because of the rare leathers it is made of... fancy.


Why does a bicorn hat cost 50 gold? Because the people who want one are willing to pay 50 gold for it, so that's what the hatters charge.
There's an interesting effect in economics called "snob goods", where certain goods are actually more popular if they're more expensive. It's possible that the fact that the hat is amazingly expensive is one reason why it's bought and worn.


Snob goods !
Of course. You are right.
It is worn by admirals and has gold lace and bocade and such on it.
It probably gosts 5 gp in materials to make, and its made in a miliners that doubles as a borello ( Anyone seen BBCs Fanny Hill? )

A place in sydney called double bay sells pies for 7 $ when in the other sheps they are about 3.

Snob goods. lol.


pffft. in Rose Bay (just north of Double Bay) 10 yrs ago i paid $20 for a pie and chips! Couldn't believe it.
