I figured that they were that expensive becauase they basically create an indoor room anywhere.  Tents keep the sand, wind, and sun off of you.  (For the price I think it would be great if the flaps would actually be closeable, but hey.)  I don't think they should be quite as expensive as they are IG, but they still shouldn't be astoundingly cheap.

And I do think it would be neat if they would be able to be damaged, or even blow over in a violent sandstorm the way torches can be blown out in high winds.

There are cheaper tents available.  The commonly available tents are really big, a whole platoon can comfortably nap in one.  That has to be a lot of material, material strong enough to resist a raging sandstorm, enough leather or canvas for several suits of light armor. Those aren't just any poles either.  They have to reasonably light, while at the same time strong and flexible enough to resist breaking or cracking even after years of rough handling.  This is a quality item, practically a portable house.  They are pricy, but not to an unreasonable degree.

Personally, I like having something useful that my character has to save up for a while to buy.

As AC pointed out, we probably need smaller, cheaper tents.

You missed what AC said, Maybe42or54...there ARE smaller, cheaper tents.  Find them IG.

I know there are. I just don't want to invent a reason so my pc could go to the ends of the desert to find one such tent.

You should be able to find a crafter to make you a cheaper, smaller tent.

Of course, tentmaking is one of the very few skills now that still says it is still in progress in the helpfile.  More cheap tents!

I'd have to come up with an even more far fetched reason to look the world over for a PC crafter.

No, no you just wait around five or six IC years and I am sure you'd see one around!

what about a shelter skill for rangers and the like? Not as nice as a tent, but keeps you out of a sandstorm? I dunno, just a thought
f you can't say something nice, chances are you'd get the message across better by throwing a rock.

What? An ability to create a lean-to or some other makeshift shelter?
