The way the treasure is set up is that each level, a party of 5 gets four magic items ranging in level from one to four levels above the party level and gets gold as if they sold two magic items of their level. So if you share fairly, every 5 levels you gain 4 items and get gold as if you sold 2 items.  So about 8 items owned and 4 sold every 10 levels (a tier).    A sold magic item is worth an item 5 levels lower. A magic item is worth about 2 magic items 2-3 level lower so it will have the same enhancement most of the time but the ability will be very weak.Anything under 10 levels of you is too weak to use, has a forgetable effect, or is(or eventually will be) sold for money. Assuming your DM is fair, you will get to upgrade your Big Three every 5 levels or so. That eats away 3 items.  So a leveled character should have:The Big Three within 4 levels of him1 optional item within 4 levels of himA size of gold as if he sold 2 items within 4 levels of him OR 2 optional items of the next lower tierThe Big Three with a -1 your needed enhancement 1 optional item between 5-9 levels lower than himA size of gold as if he sold 2 items within 5-9 levels lower than him OR 2 optional items of the next lower tierA throwaway cash and items.  or basicallyyour Big Three, your smaller Big Three, 2 other slot items, 4 below tier slot iems, and some cash. So you'll have to trade with your allies to get a backup weapon or implement -1. Otherwise you'd have to sacrifice your 2 in tier optional slots.</blockquote>
