Economics of Realms

With the Realms being so varied and without a currency exchange between them, DORAs often find themselves short on local cash during travels. But where there is cleverness, there is a way,... well, we'll see.

Hmmm, set up a currency exchange for DORAs iwith Big Macs as a standard, have to remember that.

Gothic
Gothic Price List

3/1/2019 - Joshua MacKay - The White Dove - You could by two fully charged flying cars for 30,000s. I'll talk to Doc about it to work out what happened.

The Spice Cartel
4/1/2019 - Alex Kinley - Freddy! - *Static* "Freddy, you and Raslen Rad might be interested in Barter Town in Genovia, it seems like a good place for business/trade + there is apparently a strong spice trade with a town close by called Etak or Etack, something like that. Be careful however, once past Barter Towns things get pretty wild. I have left you a present under your pillow in beast kin for being such a good boy to help you with this endeavour." Love Alex. *Static*

Gold Exchange Rate
3/23/2019 - Joshua MacKay - Gold Exchange rate - Others may find this of use when working out if it's a fair deal when exchanging items (be it precious metals or stones) for currency where they do not use gold coinage. This is what the official exchange rate was at the time. (keeping in mind you will get less than what the exchange says due to the exchanger wanting to make a profit)

Shermer, Illinois - US$280- per ounce (price of a Big Mac US$2.54) Cyberpunk Hong Kong - HK$20,000 per ounce (price of a Big Mac HK$70-)

Income Ideas
Turn part of the White Dove into an officers' club - Dr Yang

4/1/2019- Joshua MacKay - The White Dove - If we go down the Officers Club route, depending on their availability in Gothic, could look at "importing" luxury items such as chocolate, cigars, caviar and certain types of alcohol.

4/1/2019- Raslen Rad to Aeolous - The White Dove - Yeah, nah, you're thinking of the 24 hour Boobies hotline number again.

4/1/2019 - Aeolous - The White Dove - Sounds like a business opportunity.

Trade Between Realms
2/6/2019 - Aeolous - [Encrypted] Supply and Demand - The following is a short and simple list of what different areas want and have to offer in trade that may or may not be of interest. If you find something that a particular zone or area in a zone wants or has, please provide that information. We are trying to set up some sort of inter-realm trade network to potentially set up a steady cash flow. Anyone who has any business acumen and knowledge of trading would be of a huge benefit. Dwarves to the south of Kinleyville: love assortments of spices, have well crafted armour and weapons to trade. Lizardmen in the desert past the Dwarven kingdom: love little interesting knickknacks (they seemed to like stethoscopes). Do not like weapons or money or anything technological. Traded us a foldable land boat of some sort with sails on it they were using to travel across the desert. Pretty fast. Dangerous. Don't know what else they have. Beastkin: do not sell them leathers or firs of any type. Will get you strung up/imprisoned. Alien Post-apocalypse: need canned food, cigarettes, snacks, other such items. Don't have much in the way of trade. Have around 100 people willing to work in exchange for said items. They are unskilled, so anything relatively complex will need to be taught to them.
