What's a good magic item for 10 grand or less?

+1 Shock Longbow (~5000 g.p. buys you the ability to win just about any ranged weapon war)
+2 cold iron greatsword (~7000 g.p. but defeats most DR in the game)
Where'd you get these prices? A weapon with a +2 enhancement is 8000gp just for the magic. Then, add in masterwork + original cost, +2000gp for enhancement cold iron, etc. :)

Ackk.... sorry. You're right, of course. Was quickly doing the math in my head and got screwed up.
 

A vest or cloak of resistance +2 or +3 is a must. (4k or 9k)

You can also pick up +2 armor for 4k + the cost of the armor. Cloak of Elemental Protection for 1000 (MiniHB) is also a steal. Really it depends on what you already have.
 


I agree w/ Celebrim (and others), particularly:

HHH--a carry all and instant organizer--everything you need always at hand. Who wouldn't buy it?

Cloak of resistance (at all levels a boost to saves can be crucial; who doesn't want a better will save?)

Ring of feather fall (esp. for fighter/rogue types): Jumping off cliffs. Jumping onto flying creatures. This item reduces the negative consequences of all sorts of risky/stupid actions that help make an adventure the fun it is.

These three items work for almost any character, and greatly improve one's longevity.

I will second the bag of holding, necklace of adaptation, and cloak of resistance +3.

If you know where a sphere is though, pick up a Talisman of the Sphere. That'll spice up adventuring life. :)
 


Wow. Thanks for all the feedback. Where to start?

Ranger styles. We still use the 3.0 ranger, so no ranger styles. I use a two handed sword. I don't need a weapon, I have a nasty little +5 shocking burst greatsword that I pulled from a deck of many things. Other than that, I don't have much, considering I'm 10th level. Yeah, I know, the sword should be enough, right? Well, maybe I'm just greedy. :-)

I have a +1 rop, ring of climbing, +2 robe of protection (really important, since I also drew -1 to all sves from the deck - twice!), the aforementioned travel cloak, +1 chain shirt, wand of clw, boots of landing from R&R, eyes of the eagle. Oh, and we all just got amulets of thought projection for the mission we are on, but I believe we are supposed to return those.

I travel light, so I really don't need a haversack, and as rare as gold is in this game, I'd really rather not spend it on one shot items. We are allowed to upgrade items like cloak of resistance, ring of protection, etc, so I don't need to buy a new one, but I don't have time right now to wait on custom made stuff. I suppose I could always grab gauntlets of ogre power or some other stat boosting item, but, as I said, I prefer the cooler stuff. The travel cloak is indeed cool.
