[edit] Weight

It should be noted that Daggerfall reports weights in Kilograms. This would handily explain the rare reference to Pounds as an archaic term, with the Kilogram being the standard unit of weight within the Empire. --Uniblab 02:27, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

If a sword weighs on the order of 2.5 pounds, or 28 units, then the conversion is roughly 0.089285714285714285714285714285714… u/lb (units per pound).

28u × X = 2.5lbs ⇒ X = 2.5lbs ÷ 28u ⇒ X = 0.089285714285714285714285714285714…

Similarly, this suggests the u/Kg is around 0.035014005602240896358543417366947 (again, if one sword is on the order of 1 Kg)

This would make a 0.1 reagent just a few grams, which might be heavy for a flower petal but possibly light for an iron fishing hook.

You milage may vary. --Uniblab 02:50, 22 May 2008 (EDT)
