Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tsukiyomi" data-source="post: 5218298" data-attributes="member: 64881">For me it would depend on what level of magic item the PCs want to buy.Minor items of level 1-5 are probably pretty common.  Many adventurers have the cash to afford these items and most places probably have a spellcaster of some kind who is more than willing to sell them to make a living.  Things like potions of healing or basic magic weapons and armor are not all that hard to find, provided you have the cash.Above that, and it's based on where the PCs are.  If they are in a small village, odds are there's no one who can manufacture a level 10 magic item, but a large city might have someone who can do that.  Epic level items, at least in my worlds, are generally not for sale since there are so few epic level people around -- and the ones who DO exist are often too busy pursuing their own agendas, so they don't have the time or desire to churn out magic items.  That's even true for items in the upper paragon tier too, most of the time.  Of course, I don't really like the idea of the epic tier at all (I plan my games around levels 1 to 20), so my stance there doesn't necessarily affect things too much.I tend to dodge the problem by creating my own unique magic items and having the majority of the treasure be made up of those things, rather than use book items (I also ignore the parcel system and all that and just use my gut instinct on how much treasure is enough).</blockquote>
