About this converter
Dragon Quest 4 runs on fixed NES gold prices across five chapters. Tools open low: herb 8, antidote herb 10, holy water 20, chimera wing 25 and moonwort bulb 30. Clothes climb from plain 10 through wayfarer 70 to leather dress 250 and feather hat 280. Leather armour costs 180 with matching scale shield 180 and leather shield 90. Weapons climb fast: club 30, copper sword 100, thorn whip 200, boomerang 350, chain sickle 550, iron lance 880, morning star 1250 and steel sword 2000. One steel sword matches 250 herbs. Every value here is the Famicom buy price.
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. One box holds a count of the first item, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in gold. Try 1 Steel Sword against Herbs.
Prices pin the Famicom original shop tables with remake splits noted where they move. Torneko chapter 3 resale markups stay out because Tessie charges 150 to 200 percent over normal shops. Casino token goods like magic water and prayer ring stay out because they cost tokens, not gold. Iron apron and full plate ride in the sources where they sharpen a tier.
FAQ
How much is a herb in DQ4?
8 gold at any item shop. It is the cheapest row on this page.
How much is the copper sword?
100 gold. The oaken club at 30 is the only cheaper weapon.
What is the priciest weapon here?
1250 gold with attack plus 33. The steel sword at 2000 in chapter 5 tops it.
Why no magic water or prayer ring?
They cost casino tokens, not gold. Magic water is 30 tokens and prayer ring is 500, so both stay out of gold rows.
