Well, this is a toughy since it is totally dependent on the flavor of the world you want to expose them to...For myself/what I see as reasonable, in keeping with the stated intentions of 5e to keep magic items uncommon...I'd go with something/thinking like this...come journey with me through the PCs non-existent history <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />...1st level. Nada.By 3rd level they've found expendables (potion/scroll) or minor item. By the time they reach 9th, they've gone through who knows how many, but have 1 (or still possess the minor item).By 5th level they have acquired a magic weapon (no higher than +2) or something defensive (armor, shield, ring or cloak) or minor magic item (like a wand or staff of striking for casters who wouldn't be interested in magic weapons) ...Caster classes get an additional expendable or minor item.7th level gets them a either a second weapon/armor/shield or miscellaneous/wondrous item.9th level...the adventure begins, who knows what wonders are yet to be had? So, just to flesh out, your starting 9th level PCs would have [totally hypothetically]Fighter 1 picks up: (3) potion of healing, (5) Longsword +2, and (7) 10 Arrows +1 (for her short bow)Fighter 2, a dwarf: (3) scroll of protection from undead (<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />, (5) Shield +2, and (7) Hammer +1Cleric: (3) scroll of 3 spells, (5) Scale mail +1 and a potion of giant strength, (7) boots of levitation.Mage 1: (3) potion of water breathing, (5) cloak of protection +2 and a scroll of 2 spells, (7) staff of fireballs (think i just made that up, but like mages with staves more than wands. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Thief, the halfling, of course: (3) ring of warmth, (5) dagger +1, +3 vs. giants, (7) rope of climbingFighter/Mage...a.k.a. the elf!: (3) potion of flying, (5) longbow +1 and scroll of 2 spells, (7) cloak of elvinkindetc..etc...Think that looks decent...even, maybe a bit light. Throw everyone an extra miscellaneous item? But either way, for a one shot/4 hour session seems adequate.</blockquote>
