[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9331863, member: 2209"] I don't think that is accurate. I think this is mostly about magic shops of any kind and to what level are you able to buy and sell magic in the setting. To what extent is a magical item available for sale the way other items are. From the OP: Which seems to me to be the 3e model with the suggested gp limits based on population of settlements and so decently available minor magic for sale but rarer for more powerful magic. [ATTACH type="full"]360707[/ATTACH] In the 3e default magical marketplace you need to go to at least a large town to be able to buy a 2,000 gp +1 sword and that is the most powerful magic weapon available there.
