Meanwhile there are only two magic axes in the DMG, one of them is cursed and the other is legendary. So much for my dwarf wanting a magic axe to look forward to.If there was any sanity in magic item pricing it would go by item utility. A ring of invisibility or winged boots should be up there. Why swing around a legendary sword in magic armor when you can just fly by all the monsters without them seeing you or being able to catch you?Fly and invisibility are powerful spells, or rather, were in older D&D, because not only could you fly for hours, you could fly around invisible all day long. The perfect scout. Hijinx, ahh the memories of AD&D wizards dominating.I find it surprising that often times you see the same people bemoan fighters being useless out of combat, but negate the utility of winged boots at such prices. And of course, completely forgetting all those years of discussions about casters and caddies, which were interminably dull but did serve to highlight how powerful those spells were and why they needed nerfing in duration and with concentration only having one at a time. Magic items that allow you to fly are quite powerful, and should be very rare and very expensive. Just like rings of invisibility.</blockquote>
