Unfortunately, your post is proving that those rules provide a smokescreen that fools too many people.Since it is all based on rarity, it is utterly useless for any campaign that hands out gold instead of magic items, so that the players can choose themselves what they want to buy.The reason for the fan-effort "Sane Magic Prices" is exactly that the WotC support is entirely random... or as they would say: insane. Winged Boots more rare/expensive than the Broom of Flying? Weapon of Warning uncommon while Vicious Weapon rare? Are they mad? A Weapon of Warning is a hundred times more valuable than a Vicious Weapon. (171 times more, in Sane's opinion)So please don't tell us WotC is providing "some level of support". You aim to speak for us, but we do not want you as our spokesperson.The first step in providing what you need for an utility-based economy is to tear out everything WotC as written so far, especially the faff in XGE.Then... there is no step 2.We're still waiting for step 2.Thank you.</blockquote>
