D&D General Crafting magic items

[Xeviat]

I unsurprisingly use Level Up as the core of my crafting system. Lots of stuff there about materials, time, tools, special components, and more!

Yay! I handled a chunk of the items. I like how the rules worked out.

Since there are no real mundane upgrades for your gear, I would like that +X items are ready available for anyone that has money to buy it.
Holy Avenger is special and rare, maybe even unique, +3 longsword is a stock item, maybe expensive but regular.

I think about +X items as cars;

your mundane sword that you get from boot camp is an old beat up used car, +3 sword is Mercedes S-class. Expensive but anyone with money can get it.

Last time I ran a really simulationist game, I made the +X items just grades of masterwork. A blacksmith of sufficient skill can make a +1 sword or a +2 shield. Making a flaming sword requires more knowledge, but basics are basic.

Well, you and the others did a wonderful job, and I personally thank you.
