I think you're forgetting something... 1,230k gold is only 5.4%.(of the "correct" amount; i.e. the wealth given to each member of a five-man party).First; I bet the variance from DM to DM is way more than 5%.Second; I also bet that lots of groups will lose lots and lots more than this amount to disenchanting/selling stuff (your example assumes all treasure is worth its cover price, a vast simplification).Third; I also note that in my level 5 example, the deviation for an eight-man team was 75 gp out of 2800 gp. Okay, so this disrepancy doubles over time (from 2.7% to 5.4%), so what?Fourth; about your numbers. Do they show the accumulated wealth of each character, or the market price of the stuff they currently use. I think that's two completely different numbers. And even if it's the latter (and more relevant) number, it's still only a 5% difference...Fifth; even two million gold only means you have to make do with a level 26 item when you really "should" have gotten a level 30 item. That's a single +1 bonus and/or a single extra damage die.No big deal, I say. Just throw the "poorest" character(s) in your 8-man party a bonus level+4 item once a tier, and congratulate yourself to having solved the entire issue.My conclusion and advice to you: Don't sweat it. You've just showed how well the treasure tables hold together! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /></blockquote>
