[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1431829, member: 939"] I never did "walmart". There were shops, mostly for potions and scrolls. Anything else was in a specific list of items a particular shop had, and that would change over time. Actually finding a specific item basically never happened, and to tell the truth, my players in 3E never really looked. They were generally happy with the magic they had found - or been given for rewards - so didn't feel the need to look much. I do allow commissioning of items, though again, this never actually happened either. Part of this may be due to my own crafting of treasure based on what I know the various PCs might need or want, though I do it rather subtly. I alter what is in modules, when I use modules, to make sure I stick to this. I've found it actually adds to the wonder and rarity of items to give players more of what they want and need - there are fewer items floating around, and there is much less tendency to think of any magic item as just "junk" that needs to be sold or traded for something better.
