[QUOTE="Victim, post: 439351, member: 78"] Well, I plan on having some magic items availible for sale. Some towns might have witches or hedge wizards that sell low level potions or scrolls. Red wizards will sell cheap expendable items and will probably be the only people to have lots of items in stock. Churches will often sell healing potions and scrolls to worshippers. Spell scrolls will be availible from wizard's guilds, probably along with enchanted spell books. However, more serious magics are harder to come by. The Red Wizards might be willing to sell some standard adventuring magics, like Cloaks of resistence, boots of speed or S&S, etc. The sort of items that almost all adventurers will want. Brokers might be able find the item you want, but, aside from some showpiece items, they won't have anything in stock. Also, sometimes they might only be able to track an item to a dangerous dungeon, so there's a ready made adventure. Finally some brokers might be untrustworthy - except that they'll be both underhanded and very careful, because nobody who got screwed by such a man would let him live if they could help it. Also, some churches sell powerful items at reduced prices to certain members of the faithful - semi retired priests of Lathander might make a few holy or disrupting maces every once in while. Wizard's guilds might have occasional auctions where a a now deceased member's items aer sold or someone sells an item that they can't use or have a better version of. Finally, other adventurers might be willing to sell or swap items with you. However, adventurers are unpredictable and reckless and dealing with them might be dangerous. Some might just as soon kill you for your item as trade for it. Or they trade it to you, then use it as an object for scrying and track you down in the wilderness to kill you. I can't really see there not being some trade in such valuable and wanted objects. [/QUOTE]
