Merchant prices are calculated by either multiplying (in the case of buying) or dividing (in the case of selling) the item's value by a factor determined by:
 
* the [[difficulty]] setting
* the character's Persuasion
*and the merchant's [[Attitude]] <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/15rcyhm/ive_decoded_merchant_pricing/</ref>
 
Pricing factor = D - Persuasion/10 - Attitude/200
 
Where D is either 2.0, 2.5, or 3.0 depending on difficulty setting.
 
The game will not allow the pricing factor to reduce below 1.0 (one).
