[QUOTE="MerakSpielman, post: 2078823, member: 7464"] Now, this has probably been discussed before, but I missed it. Our DM gave us, as a reward for completing a quest, any single magical item worth under 8000gp. We're officially playing a 3.5 campaign, but we still have our 3.0 books, and since we were all shopping for our reward item at once, some of us were looking at the old 3.0 DMG. We figured, how different could they be, right? A few minor differences in price, sure, but nothing tremendously unbalancing. So the player of a wizard, looking at the 3.0 DMG, picks out a Wings of Flying. It costs 5600gp, but it was a nice item and he thought it would be fun. Nobody really thinks twice about this decision, or thinks it's unusual in any way. Then, looking through the 3.5 DMG a few days later, we notice that the price for the Wings of Flying has increased to 56,000gp. It's gone up by a factor of TEN! We have no idea why. Perhaps it WAS underpriced before, but surely it wasn't THAT underpriced. What gives? [/QUOTE]
