Firearms
Firearms use the "emerging guns" category in most of the world, but the "commonplace guns" rarity in the Pearl Sea region. However, advanced firearms do not use cartridges - they are still front-loaded by hand. All firearms cost half the indicated price.
If the characters (or a subordinate) can reliably manufacture gunpowder (taking 10 on Craft (Alchemy) checks), ingredients for crafting ammunition can be bought at 4% of regular sale price in the Pearl Sea - the main ingredient is dinosaur or dragon feces, which is fairly common in the area.
The cost of bullets/shot is ignored for handguns.
This table indicates the cost of firearms and gear in the Pearl Sea and the Flanaess, as a percentage of listed prices.
Item | Pearl Sea | Flanaesse |
Early Firearms | 12.5% | 50% |
Advanced Firearms (muzzle loaded) | 50% | NA |
Gunpowder (dose, ½ ounce) | 1 sp | 5 sp |
Bullets | Free | Free |
Alchemical Cartridges | 100% | 100% |
