[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3839488, member: 29014"] (OOC: An Appraise check can give you the general value of the pieces as if they were non-magical. As a rule of thumb, it's a decent lower bound, but sometimes items are more valuable than they would appear by an appraisal. Still, appraisals probably won't be too expensive--I wonder if DiSenzio's shop does it for cheap? I just realised that it is non-trivial to find someone who can cast Legend Lore since it requires at minimum a level 10 Bard. Let's pretend there was one touring and visiting Orussus today) *After paying the Bard for his time, the group sits and waits as the Bard inspects the stockings.
