5xs heavily sighted longbow
6xs heavily sighted longbow
7xs heavily sighted longbow
(at work and I don't have the descriptions on me)
brown leather quiver that makes crystalline arrows. 2 arrows a day, one use arrows. Arrows can not be dodged or evaded. (Trueshot quiver)

Hmm. . . tough one. All figures in millions Elanthian silver (or MES).
5x HS longbow is probably in the 40 range.
6x HS longbow is probably in the 60 range.
7x HS longbow is probably in the 65 range.
Primary reason for the non-linear is because 5x isn't all that common (good sephwir reach this range, I think), 6x is a huge sweet spot in terms of arrows (ebladed instead of master fletched for maximum AS mod), and 7x only nets a bit more defense beyond the 6x benefit. Type of wood (fashionista archers) can modify this slightly.
The quiver is a bit of a problem. To the right player / character, it's difficult to say how high it will go. It probably won't go for less than 100. To a GoS society archer who enjoys one-shot killing chieftains, perhaps a bit more. To a specialist, this could possibly reach into the 150 plus category. And one or two, if interested, will simply beat everyone else out there -- which could lead to a sum that isn't 'market driven'.
Good luck, if you decide to spread the capabilities while gathering the wealth!

Hmm. . . and for the bows, someone suggested I stop living in the dawn of archery! Apparently, while the scaling doesn't present a problem, the thought is the figures may be 10 to 20 MES too high for the bows themselves. "Not like it was back in the day, when there were maybe three or four of those."
Ok, so fair. Let's range it.
5x HS longbow - 20 to 40
6x HS longbow - 45 to 60
7x HS longbow - 55 to 65
Hopefully that works, all the rest of the provisos apply.
And yes, Robert -- I was thinking almost exactly the same thing.

Thanks on the range for the bows, I thought the first range was a bit high but the second is good.
Oh and the nice thing about the quiver Doug and Robert is that it holds 10 arrows so you only have to come in and harvest it once every 5 days :) One rub every 5 days nets you 10 arrows. You don't have to come in every 24 hours to harvest 2 arrows. Otherwise I wouldn't have the stockpile that I do because I only seem to remember about once every 4 days. Just remove the arrows from the quiver so you have room for the next rub.
I'm not sure if I'm selling for those that wondered but I think I will start going through everything and probably put a bow up for sale and perhaps the quiver. They've been lockered too long and they really should be used and appreciated.
