Items with multiple effects will follow this formula:
Potion of Healing
(1st effect * 1) Example: Heal (2000) * 1 = 2000
+ (2nd effect * 2) Cure Critic ( 800) * 2 = 1600
+ (3rd effect * 3) Cure Light ( 200) * 3 = 600
------------------ -----------------------------
Total Cost Total Cost = 4000
Wands and staves will have their cost set at spell cost times charges.
Example: Wand of Magic Missiles - Spell level 20 (Cost is 40*20 [800] per charge)
Charges: 5 - Total Cost (5 * 800) = 4000.
After all these are tabulated, the following modifiers should be applied:
Item is a Potion : Cost * 1
Item is a Scroll : Cost * 1 + .25
Item is a Wand : Cost * 1 + .25
Item is a Staff : Cost * 1 + .50
Item is in a hometown: Cost * 1 + .25
Final Example: Scroll of Berserking: Level 30 (Found in Hometown: Aria)
Spell 1: Haste (4000) * 1
Spell 2: Strength ( 500) * 2
Spell 3: Curse (-800) * 0
--------------------------------
Total Cost: 3700
Item is a scroll (+.25) and is in a hometown (+.25) Thus:
3700 * 1.5 = Final cost of 5550.
