Hello,
Gotta say, love the concept of the forge!
Question: how are prices calculated when using the forge?

Trying to make sense of that process, I forged a regular dagger, with a "Weapon, +1" template, the result was (as expected) a Dagger, +1, but worth 372 gp.
The Dagger, +1 from the DMG is worth 468, so I was expecting to see the same price or perhaps even higher*

It makes sense that creating a magic would be cheaper than buying one, but how or where did you get that logic from?

*The DMG does not seem to mention anything so specific about it, as a matter of fact the DMG is so generic that creating an uncommon magic item (such as the Dagger +1) would cost 500 gp according to the "Downtime activities"

Thanks!

At present the items in the DMG are priced randomly based on the level of rarity of the item (price guidelines are in the DMG). This has actually been changed and the prices for magic items that will appear in the DMG will simply be the range given in the DMG. This version of the DMG will be released soon.

Awesome, great to know, thanks Zacchaeus =)
