[QUOTE="zarquin, post: 3395911, member: 50386"] They [b]are[/b] paying for the increase in power. Through their adventures, they kill monsters/save kingdoms/etc... Due to the fact that they're now epic in power, the actual horde of a monster isn't really going to have anything that actually interests them, can be wielded by them, or is better than what they already have. They don't really have any need for most of the horde, that money however does have to go SOMEWHERE. Maybe it's consumed by the magical items and after some level of consumption, the item goes up in power. Maybe, they give the money to the kingdom that asked them to do the task, maybe they donate it to a god, maybe they use it further bolster thier own kingdom. From there, someone somewhere manages to maybe find some little technique that allows the characters to tweak just that little bit more out of their items. Maybe the items respect the characters doing these sorts of things and allow the characters to wield more of their awesome power. Since by epic levels with these artifacts they should probably be self-aware if not sentient, so it's possible that the weapon is VASTLY more powerful than it currently is, and just needs to have its power unlocked in some fashion. Since the standard manual way is to collect a bunch of gold and get a wizard to make you the item, or maybe find it in a horde, which doesn't work at epic levels. Now you just have to be a little bit more imaginative to how the items powerup. [/QUOTE]
