Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ltheb Silverfrond" data-source="post: 3446511" data-attributes="member: 39867">I'd like to point out (Can't find the page number) the DMG says an NPC earns something like 150-300 Xp each year from day to day interactions. That means that NPC can make 4,000-7,500 gold worth of magic items without adventuring. (Which is a bit unrealistic; There's no way to "study" and become higher level, but slaughtering Orcs/Ogres/Trolls/Giants/Demons will whisk you magically to 20th level in about 2 months of actual work time. 4 EL +0 Encounters a day, 13 needed to level...)Four to Seven thousand gold may not seem like many magic items, but that standard applies to all Npcs. Just get a bunch of neophyte clerics to brew potions for you. 10 3rd level clerics = 40,000-70,000 Gp worth of potions each year. That could also be 20 sets of +1 weapons or 40 sets of +1 armor. All possibly from one church. (Or wizard guild, etc) Granted, you still need the resources (Gold) to make all this stuff, but there definitely is no shortage of "possible" magic items. Xp isn't really a limiting Factor (Especially if you use the variant rule that lets multiple spellcasters contribute XP 100 1st level wizards = 15,000 - 30,000 Xp! Enough for Hundreds of magic items, or, if lead by a potent caster, one big one!) The Limiting Factor for making and selling magic items is gold and time. (And, as others pointed out, storing it safely)</blockquote>
