Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ace" data-source="post: 3606375" data-attributes="member: 944">I prefer to let the players get what they want when they want it with few limitations. While there isn't a magic items Wal-Mart or any other kind of big box retailer there are lots of places that buy and sell magic items.A artificer can get you most items as can a church of the merchant god, a magesmith, druids, a decently high level wizard, sutler, auction houses, magic item specialty shops etc etc . Hell if the PC' meet the prerequisites and have the power components they can make it themselves.Magic items in D&D are just stuff, no more magical than say a flashlight in the real world. What sets people off is the power curve -- as an example weapons IRL might come in cheap (a norinco 45) good (a colt 45) and custom (les baer custom shop) -- D&D weapons have 10 gradients plus hundreds of options with tangible effects.To repeat -- magic items are stuff, no more special than non magic stuff in game context -- just more trouble to make. They should be available anywhere there is a market for them. I am cool with wealth limits -- After all there are no Porsche dealers in Togo but any decent sized city will have anything a  person might want to buy or have commissioned (if the market is small) . Once the PC's reach high level they are powers unto themselves and can do (subject only to other high level types) anything they want -- this takes away the power of the state to regulate them as well, so legal codes often are ignored if anyone bothers with them -- possession is 9/10's of the law if you will As powerful people they can get what they want. There is always someone willing to serve the  strong. Low level types OTOH might need a patron.</blockquote>
