My own rule of thumb is 'divide by 3 and add 6'.
RQ - Joe stickpicker: 30-40 % Spear
HW - Joe Stickpicker: 15 Spear
Conversion (30/3)+6=16 Okay... A bit high but that's fine.
RQ - Tuffus Lunarus, Centurion 120% hack into minestrone with scimitar HW - Tough Solidier 5W2 ( or 10 W2 for instance)
Conversion (120/3)+6 = 46 = 6W2
Hey, its rough but it works. Kinda. Sorta. If you have one eye closed. But it was useful ina fast and dirty convert of Rainbow Mounds to HW.
For magic, I wave my arms a lot! (grin)

Rating 3. A heavy broadsword or a Sharp broadsword would be a 4
Iron... well.. I think Iron's an automatic +2 rank and causes a 50% edge of bid points to our friends the Trolls and Elves.

I hope this helps. Its off the cuff but its what I used.
