I am running a premade adventure to save prep time, and I'm already converting all the monsters to the New Math.  It's tedious having to add in treasure as well.  The group reasonably expects practically every single humanoid opponent to have some coins or jewelry of value, and expects at least some other creatures to yield valuable fur, or ritual components, or poison.  Tell me the orc chieftan has a rough amber necklace worth 20gp, that the bandit has a sapphire earring worth 120gp and 75 gp in his pouch.  Tell me that the carapace of the giant water beetle is used by local villagers to make boats and they are worth 2gp each.  Please!For magic items, I'd prefer some suggestions like "a level 12-13 item suitable for a spellcaster", but that is far less important.  Those are something I need to customize anyway.  The simple monetary treasure should not be.</blockquote>
