	All goods and services to be bartered must be exchanged with goods related to the source of those goods. A brass scale may be exchanged for a bullseye lantern at the [[Coppersmithing\|coppersmith's]], one book may be exchanged for another at the [[Printing\|printer's]], a cello may be exchanged for a flute at the [[Lute-making\|luthier's]], and so on. Twenty pounds of fish would be of no value to the [[Leather Working\|leather worker]], a cow would be useless to a [[Perfume (substance)\|perfumer]] and a [[Confectionery\|confectioner]] wouldn't know the least thing about the value of a rare coin. Such trades as these would be impractical for the vendors in question.		All goods and services to be bartered must be exchanged with goods related to the source of those goods.

−	However, exceptions include the sale of clothes, [[Food\|food]], property, common housewares or gemstones, which may be bartered at any vendor, as these items are relatively universal.

Additionally, in certain specific instances, such as trading a hammer at the [[Masonry\|mason's]], a bushel of coal with the [[Inn\|innkeeper]], weapons in a time when a village is threatened by war, or a Bible with most any Christian, where the trade makes reasonable sense, a barter can always be made.	+	However, exceptions include the sale of clothes, [[Food\|food]], property, common housewares or gemstones, which may be bartered at any vendor, as these items are relatively universal.

 For example, Jocasta has with her a small anvil priced at 20 g.p., which she cannot sell for a price equal to 90% of its value.  However, by bartering the anvil at the [[Blacksmithing (sage ability)|blacksmith's]] (the source vendor for anvils), she is entitled to reap 18 g.p. worth of goods and services from that vendor.  As the barter is made, no gold passes out of her hands or into them; if she cannot find 18 g.p. worth of product from the shelves of the blacksmith, she must take as much as she is able or fail to barter at all.
-All bartered material must be essentially undamaged.  Clothes that have been worn into a fight or in which participants have sustained [[Wounds|wounds]] would not qualify.  Each bartered arrangement requires a total of ten minutes, so that characters wishing to barter a dozen or more items should be prepared to begin early that day.  Remember that each different vendor visited requires ½-hour to locate and search before haggling can be commenced (and that commonly shops remain open only between sunrise and sundown).
