Armor Prices
Armor, shields and barding in the coin of Erôth, kept deliberately dear: heavy armor costs a thirtieth of its Pathfinder 1e price, not less.
Every section starts closed. Open the ones you need.
Armor is kept expensive. Light armor costs a tenth of its Pathfinder 1e price, medium armor a fifteenth, heavy armor a thirtieth, and shields a fifth. Masterwork adds 15 GP to armor or a shield (150 gp in Pathfinder 1e).

Barding, masterwork, materials and modifications
These are Pathfinder 1e price rules. Work out the Pathfinder 1e cost, then divide by ten: they are craftsmanship, not magic.

Barding
Barding costs the price of the same armor for a person, multiplied by the mount’s size: twice for a Small or Medium beast, four times for a Large one such as a horse, eight times for Huge. Divide by the armor’s own divisor afterward. A chain shirt barding for a horse is 100 gp × 4 = 400 gp in Pathfinder 1e, which is 40 GP here.
