The question came about as Gimlord suggested I establish a wishlist on my character sheet, and I warned him that I know squat about how wealth works precisely in 4th edition, and that I'd just list stuff someone in the general frame of my level(whether or not I get the items or not is not something I'm overly worried with) my unfamiliarity means the DM probably knows better what would benefit me than I do, after seeing a few combats with me in it, lol.
