I like that we agree about these things. It occurred to me that I might also be lowballing mithril, too, which I was using as a reference for adamant. Have changed it up some now so that swords and armor are material cost * 2 (that is, doubled to pay the blacksmith). So, if one bar of adamant costs 3k and a full suit of platemail takes 15 bars, the materials alone cost 45k and the commission for the very skilled blacksmith to work with very difficult material doubles the price fo 90k. And... suddenly adamant armor is holyballs expensive! Like, two mansions expensive!

I'm okay with it.
