Welcome to Cove

The Basics:
This is a guide to assist you in properly pricing sales and payments in Silver. Gold is abundant and far from rare where as Silver is much harder to come by. This makes Silver a precious metal and therefore worth more than Gold.

Gold to Silver Conversion:
An Easy way to look at this is the following....

1 Silver = 100 Gold

This is not an exact conversion and this does not mean you can trade in gold for silver. But this will assist you in pricing and paying others. An example would be if you sold someone a suit of armor. In gold you may charge them around 5,000 for the suit. However in Silver you would charge them somewhere from 200-500.

Reccomended Pricing:

Miscellaneous

• Suit of Armor: 400 Silver
• Weapons: 20 Silver

• Sailors: 20 Silver per week

Please note these are just reccomended prices and are in no way set in stone. Players can charge whatever they want in the end and it's up to the buyer to accept those rates.

Getting Paid:
As a Citizen you will not be earning any weekly payment of silver unless you have a job. This is the benefit of being a Soldier in Cove as you will receive a weekly paycheck, However Citizens have a higher possibility of earning more Silver from sales.

The Covian Savings and Loan Office:
Covians will be given the option of putting their silver into The Savings and Loan Office. This will allow them to keep their Silver somewhere safe instead of having to carry it around all the time. This also allows citizens to make payments in the form of Promisary Notes. The use of such are as follows....

If a Citizen has Silver in their S&L account they can simply write out a payment on a piece of paper and hand it to whomever they are paying. The person being paid can then take this note to  The Savings and Loan Officer who will either transfer these funds to the person or pay them the ammount owed, Deducting if from the other person's account balance.

Please note all Balances and Accounts will be monitored by The S&L Officer. If a person uses more silver then their account holds they will then be put in debt of The S&L Office, Who under law will attempt to collect this debt in any way possible.
