[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9230096, member: 2209"] This always strikes me as odd. I played 3e as I did AD&D, engaging in the rules available and trying to eke out RAW advantages and strategies to survive the dangerous adventuring situations. 3e just presented more options to use. Scroll scribing and wand crafting, had they been available as easily in 1e using gold and time at low levels instead of requiring a dozen bespoke hard to get ingredients determined by the DM and only at mid to high levels would definitely have been part of the AD&D repertoire. If the 1e magic marketplace had been like the 3e one with easy access to cure light wound wands for 750 gp instead of the 1e marketplace being maybe a wizard with three items for possible sale who can possibly fence odd things you find for the DMG list prices, and there being no cure wands at all, we would have loaded up on cure wands all the time. The same incentives to do so exist in both versions of the game. [/QUOTE]
