Money
Nearly every nation uses a system of coinage that places 100 copper pennies(cp) to the gold mark(gm). Most also use the silver mark(sm), which is equal to 10 pennies (so there are 10 silver marks to the gold mark). In addition, most trading nations mint crowns(gc); there are typically 10 gold marks to the crown. Despite this uniformity, there are differences in weight between the coins. Merchants will nearly always accept heavier coins, but few will take lighter (although many commoners will). In this case, the customer can either visit a moneychanger, or simply pay enough extra to satisfy the merchant. All prices listed here are in Tar Valon coins.

Herbs and Medicines
Herbs are used by characters with the Plant Lore skill to make poultices or infusions; these can then be used by characters with Healing skill to aid in the recovery of Body or Fortitude points. Each herb is listed with its normal (city) cost, its method of preparation (if used alone), its effect, and special notes. An Infusion simply requires water, to steep the herb in; a Tea requires boiling water; a Poultice requires a mortar and pestle and water; Salve is similar to a Poultice, but is not held against the skin, and generally cannot be prepared in the field, requiring slow boiling and mixing.

Transportation and Animals
Animals vary in price based upon quality and region. The following prices assume buying an animal of average quality for the type near the center of the known world. Exceptional mounts and similar "personal" animals are best provided for by taking the Possessions Advantage rather than by buying. Boat and carriage transportation is generally based upon a trip between major stops; substantial haggling often takes place for these fares.

Armor
The table that follows gives the game statistics for many types of armor available in The Wheel of Time. Each has an entry for Defense; this is what the armor adds to its wearer's target number to be hit. In addition, each type has an entry for Damage; this is how much damage the armor absorbs from each successful attack. The Encumberance entry is the penalty to Quickness rolls while wearing this armor, and is also the penalty to the character's Movement and Initiative. Finally, each type has a listed Structure. For every 5 full Body points the character wearing the armor takes, the armor loses 1 Structure. At half Stucture, the armor is -1 to Defense and Damage. At zero Structure, the armor is effectively worthless. An armorer can repair damaged metal armor; leatherworkers or tailors can repair most other types.
Each suit of armor generally consists of a jerkin, breastplate, or hauberk of the named type, with helm, greaves, gauntlets, bracers, leggings, and arms of an appropriate type. For example, a suit of plate-and-mail uses a great helm. In general, these come with the suit and the values in the table assume the character has a full suit. Missing pieces can lower the defensive ability of the armor.

Weapons
In this table, each weapon has a damage rating based on either the wielder's Strength or (for missile weapons) a set damage die. In either case, only 1 total is kept, as always. Damage dice can surge.
Each weapon also has a range. For melee weapons, this is either "close" or "extended". For missile weapons, this is given as follows: minimum/short/long/extreme. Unless otherwise noted, all missile weapons require two hands.
