There was work on an errata page for 2E at one point. This was not my conversation. This was brought up; I cut out the specific part.
Costs
Weapon Costs: Stone-Obsidian/Bone/Wood weapons should cost 5%/3%/1%, rather than 50%/30%/10%, as listed in the book. Also, see below:
From: Eric Stephen Weilnau (The Sage)
Subject: [DARK-SUN:2504] Weapon costs corrected from AoH
In a personal message a member of the list (Teos Abadia)
suggested that if I simply gave the correct costs for the
Weapons Table in AoH it would not be a violation of
TSR’s copyright.
Cost (for metal)
Alhulak (CGHB) 9gp
Bard’s friend (DM#185) 10gp
Cahulaks (DM#185) 12gp
Carikkal (CGHB) 8gp
Chatkcha (TKoA) 1gp
Crusher (DM#185) 24gp
Datchi club (DM#185) 12gp
Dragon’s paw (DM#185) 15gp
Forearm axe (CGHB) 10gp
Gouge (DM#185) 6gp
Gythka (TKoA) 6gp
Impaler (DSRB) 4gp
Lotulis (CGHB) 15gp
Master’s whip (DM#185) 6sp
Puchik (CGHB) 6gp
Quabone (DSRB) 1cp (never made of metal)
Singing sticks (CGHB) 5bits (never made of metal)
Tortoise blade (DM#185) 9gp
Trikal (CGHB) 12gp
Weighted pike (DM#185) 6gp
Widow’s knife (DM#185) 5gp
Wrist razor (DSRB) 10gp
The alhulak, cahulak, carikkal, chatkcha, crusher,
datchi club, and master’s whip can be easily made without
metal for 1% of the listed price and don’t suffer attack or
damage penalties. I still recommend the use of the original
sources as they have better descriptions than AoH and the
Dragon Magazine and Gladiator’s Handbook give special uses
for the weapons for proficient and specialized users.

Are the weight and damage in AoH’s table correct?
(for > stone/obsidian weapons, that is)
I rechecked the Table again. All the stats listed in AoH
(with the exception of the prices of course) are for metal
(not stone/obsidian) versions of the weapons listed. There
is one exception; the stats for the Trikal are all wrong.
Bill accidentally gave the stats for a Talid (which is a
particularly nasty gladiator’s gauntlet with spikes on the
knuckles, a horn on the elbow, and a blade on the thumb for
cramped fighting–4gp and can be made from other materials
without the usual to hit and damage penalties). The stats for
a metal trikal should be as follows:
Trikal 12gp 8 L S/B 8 1d10/1d10
Equipment: A barrel of water (30 gal) costs 2 Cp, not 2 sp. Otherwise it would be DOUBLE the price of a tun of water (250 gal). Kevin of TSR has backed this up. Also, the price of all materials, including water, is subject to change depending on where the characters are. See the Traders book.
