In reply to flaming skull (msg # 64):
Fyi a map copy produced at skill 12-14 goes for $50 and takes an hour to transcribe. A fine map, at skill 16+ costs $250, and a very fine map (made with cartography 18+ and illumination 14+) costs $1000.
Hmmm.
Okay... these don't quite match stats in DFs 1 (flat $100) or 4 (various rates dependent on stats, etc) however...
Too pressed for time to check on how it matches up with stats in 8, that gets a bit more involved with materials, qualities, etc, etc, etc... but probably goes 50, 100, 150 (based on bonus it provides to Scholars* and non-Scholars), then modded by mats and qualities.
