Expensive items on Rifts Earth

Unread post by firefrog600 »

I was curious what the most expensive items on rifts earth the things that are worth individually hundreds of millions of credits at a minimum. Also if anyone had a list of such things I have access to books but seeing expensive things is only occasional rather than something I can explicitly search for. These items can be open market or just the costs to make said items magic, technology, psychic and so on items. Also things that could reasonably reach rifts earth through say the markets in atlantis.

100s of millions? The Big Papa or Super-X robots in WB33. Greatest Rune Weapons in WB2. Spaceships in the 3 galaxies books.

Are greater rune weapons even sold I can't remember I read atlantis a while back? I say sold because the cost of making them well I don't know what it is other than souls. As for other mentions yeah I get space ships probably not relevant for most rifts earth campaigns but it can happen rifts be weird like that. Not read wb33 if I do it won't be for a long long time I'm guessing big papa is like a I dunno liberty primeesque super robot? Bit sad robots and rune weapons are basically the answers I got. Nothing against ya just yeah I mostly already knew that I was curious if there were more unique items along with big robots, any supersoldier procedures, or stupidly potent magical artifacts. I mean I guess rune weapons but eh they've always been a bit underwhelming for me given I like them and their idea. But their pretty tame for what are basically godly artifacts.

WB2 pg 129 wrote:Cost: Typically the Greatest Rune Weapons will command 6D4 X 10 million credits to possibly two or three times more depending on the weapon and the seller! The Sword of Atlantis, the Sword of Life and the Necronstaff never cost less than 500 million.
The Super-X is an upgraded version of the Behemoth Explorer (RMB pg 217) from Northern Gun. Big Papa is basically a walking hospital with legs. Yawn indeed!

If you want unique here are a couple ideas:
  • A 3 ton solid gold statue of Styphathal
  • A lock of Karl Prosek's hair with viable DNA
  • A 3lb ruby
