Treasure comes in many forms: paintings, gemstones, sculptures, pottery, glass, and more. Each has their own range in value based on the quality of craftsmanship put into their creation.
As the game master, it is your duty to determine how much the treasure you are giving to your players is worth. The treasure by quality table gives you a range of values based on the type of treasure and its quality. Say you want to have them discover a precious and famous painting in a treasure room of a band of thieves. Seeing as the painting is famous for its quality is probably very high, making it at least an exquisite quality painting. Therefore, its value, when appraised, would range between seventy-five gold coins up to one thousand gold coins. The actual static value is up to you, but you can sway that value based on the player’s appraisal check.
