It looks like the cost for arrows and bolts have been left out in The Ruins of Symbaroum Player’s Guide.
In the original system it states that 10 arrows or bolts cost 1 thaler.

Are you able to update the pdf with that information somehow?

I don't see any reason it would be different, so you're correct that it was missed in proofreading. Updating the PadF might require layout changes so, while not impossible, might need to wait for a reprint cycle.

Thanks for the catch!

Could the cost of other types of ammunition be confirmed here as well?

The following still are missing, especially for those of us who only own the Ruins of Symbaroum books (of which I have all of them so if this information is somewhere I haven’t found yet please let me know).

Thanks in advance for the help!

Missing ammunition costs from Player’s Guide:

Sling stones for a Sling
Short spears for the Spear Sling
Darts for a Blowpipe
Ballista ammunition
Catapult ammunition
Missile Battery ammunition
Trebuchet ammunition

The prices for many of the Ammunition options are listed in the core rules, and you can use the conversion chart on page 160 of the Ruins of Symbaroum Player's Guide to translate.

For the Siege Weapons, no costs for ammunition is given in RoS, and I don't believe that there is any listed in the Advanced Player's Guide either. Essentially, they are military weapons that only a standing army can use without impunity, and, if the players get their hands on one, their supplier probably has a very limited supply of ammunition included in the deal, and getting more could be an adventure unto itself.

Thanks Jacob! Finally had a chance to read this reply from you and check core rules. Short spears still are missing a cost. Obviously could homebrew it but any suggestions for an appropriate price for those?

Without doing any research (sorry, other irons in the fire at the moment) I would imagine the price for javelins in the core rules would be appropriate.

Great, thanks!
