Kinda doing necro, but the high quality ore price are still wrong, they are the same as one live while they were much cheaper back on classic/velious:
here is a link on zam that display the price in november 2002:

and a latter post in february 2005 that talk about the price nerf resulting in the price we see on live and (as of yet) on P1999:

also, in the "Economical smith v3.0" from april 2003 in page 39:
"First, high quality ore is expensive. One large brick of high quality ore costs over 17pp and yields two rings, which makes each ring cost a little under 9pp each."
