(GS).</P> <P>One game day's maintenance is one Silver Shilling. Beings that don't pay their maintenance will have half of their body points and spell points for that game day. Additional ranks of maintenance can be purchased for extra body points and extra spell points.</P> <P>By way of comparison, a one handed sword costs one Silver Shilling, a suit of chainmail costs 5 SS, and magic items can get as high as 250 silver shillings, or more. Another important concept is the <EM>quality</EM>of the item. Quality items cost twice as much, and gain certain benefits. Quality armor gains one resist versus breakage during the game day, and two armor points. Quality weapons gain one resist per game day, and add one to your effective Rank with the weapon skill. High quality items cost five times as much, have two resists per game day, and gain either 4 points of armor, or 2 additional ranks in the weapon skill.</P> <P>Beginning characters start out with 5 Silver Shillings with which to purchase equipment, but don't have to pay maintenance for their first game day.</P><ADDRESS>The Port Mahon Office of Tourism and Commerce</ADDRESS> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0"> <TR> <TD><A><IMG SRC="../images/left_h.jpg" ALT="Left End Of Scroll Bar" WIDTH="32" HEIGHT="116"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../info/info_toc.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/info_h_n.jpg" ALT="[Logistics]" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" WIDTH="45" HEIGHT="116" NAME="info"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../game/game_toc.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/game_h_n.jpg" ALT="[Game Info]" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" WIDTH="60" HEIGHT="116" NAME="game"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../misc/misc_toc.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/misc_h_n.jpg" ALT="[Miscellaneous Information]" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" WIDTH="62" HEIGHT="116" NAME="misc"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../faq.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/faq_h_n.jpg" ALT="[Frequently Asked Questions]" BORDER="0" WIDTH="58" HEIGHT="116" NAME="faq"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../new.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/new_h_n.jpg" ALT="[What's New]" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" WIDTH="52" HEIGHT="116" NAME="whatsNew"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../index.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/home_h_n.jpg" ALT="[Magic Horizons Home Page]" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" WIDTH="59" HEIGHT="116" NAME="home"></A></TD> <TD><IMG SRC="../images/right_h.jpg" ALT="Right End Of Scroll Bar" WIDTH="22" HEIGHT="116"></TD></TR></TABLE> <P>Problems with the page?
