Then a suggestion came  up the if its under the gp limit of the city/town etc then it should be available.Being the DM im looking for something inbetween, time restraints are the main reason why 18 days isnt viable, the players are fairly cool with it, but it can become frustrating ifyou have all this gold to spend but can't spend the time getting stuff made, because of time restraits. I see this items as luxuries and not neccessities and if getting them made isnt anoption then maybe certain skills, % rolls could help.I understand that there are rules in the DMG that allow character to spend time Gathering Info to find a specific items and maybe if lucky they can  find the item they seek.I could stretch time to allow for craft time, but i feel this part of the adventure requiresa bit of urgency and will add to the overall feel of the adventure. Players have had period in the past to craft items themselves and wait for standard magical items to be delivered fromlarger cities. But sometimes the timing isnt great for everyone.Thoughts, ideas?CheersZ</blockquote>
