Message: <blockquote data-quote="Apok" data-source="post: 580312" data-attributes="member: 1969">It depends on the kind of atmosphere the DM is trying to create, but our "standard" method is this;Potions and Scrolls; typically can be bought at medium to large cities or smaller places where a wizard or cleric has retired and set up shop.  Usually found at temples or alchemist-type shops.  Availability is limited depending on the Potion or Scroll.  Healing & Restorative is fairly common, others less so.  Having a cleric in the party with ties to the church in question comes in real handy here.Minor and Some Medium Magical Items; can be bought in large cities or trade centers.  Typically have to go through an independant seller or trade company, so the price can vary from the DMG by alot.  In FR, Thayan Enclaves sell at this level.  Most Medium and Major; are either found adventuring or can be custom made by a wizard or cleric.  If the latter, the price is negotiable and often involves more than just spending cash.  Sometimes these items can be found in underground "black market" shops or through other shady characters.  If that's the case, purchase at your own risk.Unique items and Artifacts; found through adventuring only or given as part of a specific quest.  Can never be bought and can only be made under very specific or special circumstances.Of course, the players can always create their own items provided they have the feats & materials necessary.  Selling magical items was typically done through an intermediary (a polite term for a pseudo-legit fence) and the gp value varied.</blockquote>
