Okay, I've downgraded it a notch: starts at 125-250 and goes incrementally up to 16000-32000. Works well.

I've updated the original amounts to increase exponentially, from 250-500 all the way up to 32000-64000.

I find this works well in game. Before you assume this is economy breaking insanity, it really isn't.

The price of a loaf of bread from traders is around 232 RUB. We can assume that's approximately £3 ($4) (being generous).

Under my settings, a novice would have £3-£6 ($4-8) on them. The maximum possible loot range from a *legendary* stalker is only £415-£830 ($550-1100), roughly speaking.

Feels about right to me - and it stops the game becoming a "sell every gun/ammo clip/mutant part" slog.

I would also suggest boosting the price of artifacts and missions about x10 in line with this economy, but the existing sales price of other gear feels right, as does the cost of equipment.

Gear from Nimble weighs in at around £2000 ($2750) on this scale. Perhaps the most expensive suits and weapons could be upped a bit, but it's not far off.
