Cost of a club weapon

Sorry if I missed this somewhere but the cost of a club seems a little high at 1gp. Would it make more sense assign it a lower value?

Completely reasonable to charge less. The 1gp club would be effectively a polished, well-made weapon, essentially a mace-like weapon made of hardwood. Obviously a heavy bone or chunk of hardwood could deal about the same damage and would cost much less money. You might say that for a “crude” club it breaks on a natural 1.

Interesting.

Thank you for the prompt reply.

Should I assume that lower technology level monsters should typically be running around with clubs that have a higher chance of breaking?

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around economic implications of an AD&D module, recently.
