About this converter
Baldur's Gate 3 follows the Dungeons and Dragons price list, so mundane gear has fixed gold values. Plate armor costs 1,500 gp, a spyglass costs 1,000 and a Scroll of Revivify costs about 300. Chain mail at 75, a longbow at 50 and a Potion of Healing at 50 set the mid tier that most parties buy first. A longsword at 15, a shield at 10 and thieves tools at 25 show how cheap basics stay. Every figure here is the Player's Handbook base price matched to the BG3 vendor data.
How to use it
Pick two items and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 plate armor against healing potions. The unit box totals the cost in gold pieces or thousands of gold.
Traders adjust prices with attitude, persuasion and story events, so the table rows base values and the notes say so. The Scroll of Revivify rows the common 300 gp vendor figure; exact stock prices drift by trader. Magic items beyond scrolls and potions have no fixed list price in fifth edition, so items like enchanted weapons stay out. Larian never set a gold to dollar rate, so this page compares gold costs to each other.
FAQ
How much is plate armor?
1,500 gp base, per the Player's Handbook and BG3 vendor data. That is thirty Potions of Healing.
How much is a Scroll of Revivify?
About 300 gp at most BG3 vendors. The exact coin shifts with trader attitude and persuasion.

Fifth edition gives no fixed list price for enchanted weapons and armor, so only mundane gear, scrolls and potions are rowed.
