But it takes an amount of time equal to 3 days per 1,000gp in the price (minimum 3 days). This time includes the effort of actually looking for shops, brokerage firms, and/or guilds, and the wait for the item to be located or created. Although I allow multiple different items to be "in process" duing the same period of time, buying duplicates would add on (or stack) to the time.So, acquiring a +2 sword takes 24 days.Acquiring a belt of ogre strength takes 12 days.Acquiring a wand of cure light wounds takes 3 days.Acquiring a +2 sword, belt of ogre strength, and a wand of cure light wounds would take 24 days total. The wand would be available to the purchaser after 3 days, the belt in 12 days, and the sword at the end of the 24 days.Acquiring 30 wand of cure light wounds takes 90 days total. Every 3 days, the purchaser would get a wand.The item(s) might be stashed away in some specialty shop, in some merchant's special wares, in some indepted noble's family treasury. It might need to be created by order through the wizards' guild, the local temple, a lone craftswizard. It might even need to be shipped in from another town or city.Quasqueton</blockquote>
