The half-elf held a bag in his hands. Its leather was well worn and colorful. While it wasn’t entirely unlike the bags, he’d seen in Knotside, there was something new and exciting about it. It was strange, but familiar: like a best friend you’d only just met. – The Griffon Saddlebag

Common Items

Searching for a common magic item (DC 15) only costs 25 GP and 1 DTD + lifestyle.  Every extra 1 downtime day or 25 GP, accumulate a bonus up to +10. (Lifestyle bonus cannot exceed over the +10 bonus.)

    • You may buy up to 5 of those items per search, but only one price variance needs to be rolled for the item(s) price.
    • Each item will get a complication roll that is bought.

Features and spells are permitted, as long as it can be maintained for 4-hours minimum or are instantaneous. Abilities that only last 1 minute (such as guidance) are not permitted.

For items such as armor and weapons, add the cost of the mundane item to the base cost to arrive at the modified base cost before price variation. Example: Gleaming plate armor: 1,500 gp mundane + 165 gp common rarity = 1,650 gp.

Uncommon, Rare and Very Rare Items

This activity costs 5 DTD & 100 GP + lifestyle. Every extra 5 downtime days or 100 GP, accumulate a bonus up to +10. (Lifestyle bonus cannot exceed over the +10 bonus.) 

    • Once price variation has been rolled, a following 10% complication roll will be made.
    • If the complication roll is rolled prior, the item must be bought.

    1. Cursed items may not be sold in downtime but may be sold to other characters.
    2. If the character lacks the funds to pay for the doubling, the character enters debt. Debt must be paid before the purchase of other items (either mundane or magical). In mundane-log, the following must be written with a link to the magic item complication.
      • Ex: Bubbles finishes paying off the 192 GP debt for the moon-touched shortsword.
