About this converter

Dragon Quest III prices its early game in tiny numbers, and Reeve sets the scale. A Medicinal herb costs 8 gold, an Antidotal herb 10, Holy water 20, a Chimaera wing 25, a Moonwort bulb 30 in Asham and a Tangleweb 35. Weapons climb from the Bronze knife at 80 and the Copper sword at 100 through Leather armour at 150 to the Chain sickle at 320 and the Tortoise shell at 330. The Wizard ring at 2000 gold tops this table at two hundred fifty herbs. Every figure here is the fixed shop price from the original release as listed on the Dragon Quest Wiki town pages.

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 Chain sickle against Medicinal herbs to see the early game grind at forty to one.

The HD-2D Remake repriced some gear, for example the Copper sword at 180 gold against the original 100, and the Turban near 190 against 160. Original 1988 prices are rowed and remake changes are noted. Asham con man shops charge multiples of list, up to sixteen times, and haggling can cut them to one eighth; those inflated figures stay out. Sell prices run about three quarters of buy and stay out to keep buys clean.
