The tables in the DMG are random, so I’m not sure what the odds are of getting it that way, but it’s certainly possible. The guidelines on magic item distribution on Xanathar’s Guide are based on the average results on the DMG tables and they recommend 2 major Uncommon items for the party in the 1st-4th level tier, and 5 in the 5th-10th level tier. Assuming relatively even distribution through each level in a Tier, a party might have 5 major uncommon items between them at 7th level. Having 2 of those 5 might be reasonable in a 4-person party. There are a lot of assumptions being made here though. Ultimately, magic item distribution is entirely up to the DM, so there’s no garuntee he will give you the specific items you want, that he’ll distribute them evenly throughout each level, or that he’ll be using the guidelines from Xanathar’s or the DMG tables at all.Maybe? You’ll have to ask your DM. The default assumption in 5e is that magic items are not available for purchase. The DM is free to rule otherwise, but until you’ve conferred with your DM, you should assume that you cannot buy magic items.</blockquote>
