I am having problems figuring out the daily feeding expenses of mounts like Crodlu, Erdlu, Inixes and Mekalliots. One of my players wants to raise and train Inixes but I don't know the daily food cost or even a monthly cost. I remember reading in the 2nd box set, that Inixes eat alot.

What about buying a house? Ranking the housing such as poor, fair, good, excellent, grand. I was thinking poor would be made out of cheap materials, like a hut or small mud house. Fair would be made out of a combination of stone, and mud and (maybe) wood. Good would be made out of stone, wood and cement. Excellent would be larger thatn good and made out of the same materials, while grand would be even larger and more elaborate.

Even a monthly renting rate would be nice.

How much does a typical athasian make a week? This could also help me establish the costs.

What are your living expenses and mount upkeep costs for your campaigns?

I know, I would like to see some rates to start from, though. The Dune trader just has the price for trade rate goods.

Damn, Pringles, you sure like that phrase! :D

Anyways, if you want some ideas, check out Shei-Nad's site at Dark Sun D20 under Chapter seven: Equipment. He has worked on that quite a bit.

Hope this helps!
