How to Use This Guide
- Reference for Consistency: When introducing a new item, check this list to see if you have similar items priced.
- Rarity Alignment: Ensure the rarity you assign to a custom item generally fits within these price ranges. If you have a "Rare" item that you're pricing at 10,000 gp, it might be pushing into "Very Rare" territory in terms of its perceived value within your world.
- Adjust for Your Campaign: Remember that these are guidelines. Your specific campaign's economy, availability of magic, and narrative needs might cause you to adjust prices up or down.
- Consumables: As noted before, consumables (potions, scrolls) often have lower prices than permanent magic items of the same rarity. You can see this reflected in your list where "Potion of Healing" is 50 gp, while a "+1 Shield" (also uncommon) is 300 gp.
This organized list should be a very powerful tool for your DMing!
