PCs know at least one city where they can get any magic item under 30,000 gp, and can probably find out how to get anything else. They take item creation feats, and I let them use the gold to make what they will.However, even in this setting, sometimes some things are hard to come by. When there was a 4-month lycanthropic quarrantine holding a plague of were-rats from swarming over a continent, silver weapons became kinda scarse. Silversheen stock was expended after the first month.So, maybe your DM is doing something similar. He's saying "X monster is really scary to you right now". Maybe he wants you to go on a holy quest to get the fabled +4 Thing of MacGigger, or owe a favor to a powerful Dragon, or some kind of transaction more interesting than buying a bagel.In some campaigns, DMs only allow trading of magic items for other magic items... they're simply too valuable to part with for mere gold. If you're in that kind of campaign, you can arrange trades, if you track down people who have what you want (and vice versa). -- N</blockquote>
