But I am not looking for it anymore, because while some were giving up before trying, I figure it out by myself:[CODE]tables A-E contain [I]consumables[/I] and some lesser [I]permanent[/I] items, mostly wondrous itemstables F-I contain [I]permanent items[/I]table A:  common consumables lesser uncommon consumables (healing and 2nd-level spells) lesser uncommon wondrous items (bag of holding, light)table B: uncommon consumables uncommon wondrous items (some of them, presumably of intermediate value) lesser uncommon armors (mithral, mariner) lesser uncommon rings (swimming) lesser uncommon wands (detection)table C: rare consumables uncommon wondrous items (presumably the better ones) lesser rare wondrous items (handy haversack, folding boat, horseshoes)table D: very rare consumables rare wondrous itemstable E: greater very rare scrolls (8th-level spells)* greater very rare potions (healing)* greater very rare ammunition (slaying) legendary consumables*these are also in table D, my guess is they were added also to table E otherwise it's too small of a tabletable F:uncommon permanent items**table G:rare permanent items**table H:very rare permanent items**table I:legendary permanent items****armors have a more precise distribution by type and therefore AC (so that uncommon heavier armors might be in table G or even H, rare heavier armors might be in H and I etc.)[/CODE]So as you can see it wasn't that difficult to figure out <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> The logic of Tables F-I is really simple. Tables A-E confused me because some wondrous items are also included, but they are actually mostly stuff that doesn't have significant use in combat.</blockquote>
