Hmmm.... I'd say that unless you have players who have never played anything but a magic item less 5e game, they will probably (and rightly so IMO) expect a steady steam of loot.

Here's the link for the Angry GM's take https://theangrygm.com/how-to-describe-an-item/ And most of his reasoning behind.

I would try and explain it to you if I thought it would have even the slightest chance of affecting your view. Post #282

You know nothing of my purposes, so shut up. I thanked you for your pricing, taking it into thought. I asked further into the shield (that you priced at 5K but kept referring to as 10K),because it made me question your insight into 5e. You showing you didn't grasp how the shield was very...

I did link to newer, better projects many posts ago. (nobody commented, so it probably got lost in the bickering). I'm not on a pc for most of the day, so won't be digging it up soon, but look for: Blackball's Treasure (what I mostly use) Magic Item Manual (from Wain Wright or something on DM's...

What the hell are you on about

I really, really, really think we're talking past each other - at least I hope so. Thanks for pricing the flight items.

The ones I asked you to price like 80 posts ago. Not counting +2 to AC in for two handers for special in a system with bounded accuracy is baffling.

Do two-handed weapons ring a bell?

+2 to AC is not fantastic! And worth about 5000? 😲

And what should other flight enabling items then cost comparatively, based on their utility and power? And the armor, amulet and gauntlets?

Did you read my post? Stop talking about circumstances (which I agree are endless) and just assume a white room shopping list Edit: Besides, I asked about other items as well. For the flying items, just assume a wildrness travelling/adventuring, with smaller to midsize dungeons between. Edit...

It's not different. But some people apparently have serious issues with gold being converted into mechanical benefits by just going shopping, not to mention having severe difficulties accepting magic items being for sale because it's not realistic or something in a fantasy world and the DM will...

Then please give the examples I asked for earlier. Just forget about whether is on a lonely island, desert, big city or the underdark. How much should those items cost, based on their utility for a classic adventuring party (which basically is the only thing of interst for the purposes of this...

Like I said earlier, the pricing can be fully meta, i.e. I want to improve my weapon. DM: okay, you can choose x at this amount of gold, or y for that amount or z for the same amount as x costs. Player then chooses. No magic shoppes needed. No loss of control for DM.

It did work, though the items generally got pretty boring. But they could've used the lessons learned. And no, that is not 'just forget about it and put our head in the ground, hoping it will all go away'. Anyone can pull a number from somewhere. This whole thread is about doing it in a way...

Opinions differ on 3e, but in no way was 4e broken. Try again. So you can't make a pricing system on utility or even rarity. Check.

So? Just the more reason for WotC to improve upon them. Edit: I'm still looking forward to your pricing on the examples I mentioned earlier.

No, you get told you are badwrongfun when you don't want other people to have a proper rules supported option of including magic item pricing, while you could just decide not to use it. Also, we are not talking item market per se, but pricing for items relatively to each other. Not for what...
