[QUOTE="JoeNotCharles, post: 4558418, member: 79945"] Maybe we should tweak the exchange rate from the PHB so that it's easier to exchange items, but still not 1 to 1. That way people can customize their characters better without relying so much on DM's giving them exactly what they want. Say, magic items can be exchanged for residuum for half their purchase price, and residuum can be bought for 5 gp per 1 gp worth of residuum. The vendors of magic items only take residuum. So if you get a level 5 item you don't want, you could trade it in for 500 gp worth of residuum, and then spend 100 gp for 20 gp of residuum. Now you have 520 gp worth, enough for a level 2 item. As written in the PHB, you need to trade in a level 6 item to get a level 1 item, which is pretty steep. If we want to keep a close eye on what items are available in the world, one of the judges could run a market thread, listing what items are available on a weekly basis (determining them randomly, possibly looking at what players have recently levelled up and seem in need of items) and letting players bid. (This would also give players who aren't out adventuring another thread to RP in outside the tavern.) [/QUOTE]
