Purpose of change

So vitamins, calcium, and all that jazz is fun - and the supplements (save for bonemeal tablets) are irreplaceable. That's great, but they should absolutely not be this expensive. The biggest offender here were the calcium tablets - 5 of them were as expensive as the example value for the price of meat jerky, while hypocalcaemia is something that happens in a time period that we don't even simulate in game. The others, like multivitamins or vitC supplements had symptoms that showed far faster in their deficiencies, but they're still not necessarily life-or-death necessary like food would be.

The prices for those should go up as the days pass, but that goes for everything with IRREPLACEABLE_CONSUMABLE, and should not be a blocker for the prices being nerfed as-is.

Describe the solution

The following had the prices edited:

  • Multivitamin: 0.5$ -> 0.3$
  • Gummy vitamin: 1$ -> 0.4$ (it's identical to multivitamins, just tastier)
  • Calcium tablet: 0.5$ -> 0.09$
  • Bone meal tablet: 0.12$ -> 0.02$ (less than 1/3 of the calcium content in pre-Cataclysm tablets, and tastes horribly)
  • Flavored bone meal tablet: 0.17$ -> 0.03$ (even less calcium for some reason, but tastes only mildly bad)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Calcium supplements lost a LOT of value in this, but I am not sure if that's bad or not. They weren't useful in the current game system, and outside people suffering from conditions that predispose them to hypocalcaemia or mutating things, calcium isn't that horrendously crucial if you handle diet properly.

Multivitamins simultaneously feel like they are valued too low and too high currently. I would expect people to pay for painkillers more than they'd pay for vitamins, given the approach of people I know irl to their dietary habits, but at the same time painkillers are not crucial to your health, while vitC is, and iron is even more.
