ah well i checked the q3 food prices around $8 a pop
now if i am right food q3 takes 3 grain to make and so that is around $1 each grain (q1) so why $8? are wages alot more higher than expected?
i propose it going down to about $7 or $6.5 so that people who are skill 4 can get the food that they need and have spare money for girfting or weapons
