[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 2999239, member: 3424"] Assuming there's a market for his spells, the 10th-level wizard could simply sell off two 5th-level spells (500 gp each), three 4th-level spells (400 gp each) and a 3rd-level spell (300 gp) and pay someone else to make that [I]+1 longsword[/I]. End of the day, you're not going to get a good answer to that from a message board because it's way too dependent on the campaign and the DM for any reply to be meaningful. Now, if your 10th-level wizard was a PC in [U]my[/U] campaign, he gets 49,000 gp worth of gear. If he has the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat, he gets a 25% discount off the price of any magical weapons or armor he can create (excluding the cost of the base masterwork item). He can't subsidize the cost of gear for other PCs. If they want magic weapons and armor, they are going to have to pay for it themselves out of their own wealth limit, at full cost unless they also have the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat. I do this to short-circuit any creative ideas the players might have of getting extra gear on the cheap because it is not an aspect of gaming that I want to deal with at the table. Naturally, YMMV.
