I have a question regarding material components such as the diamonds that are expended for spells such as Revivify, If one can never get enough gold to cover purchases yet one would receive spells such as revivify on your Domain list, why in such a tight allowance of money through the games would you be ever able to cast such a spell? I feel that if these spells are bonus spells that your Holy Symbol etc. should be able to cover as the focus and that playing with Material components in the Adventurers League is wasteful. Any offical word or feedback on this would be appreciated.

 

(I have recently levelled up to level 5 as a Life Domain Priest and am wordering for future play not just for myself but for others).

You only have to pay for components with a gold piece cost listed in their description, and some of them let you use the item indefinitely. The amount of spells that actually require you to expend expensive material components is small, so you should be able to find more than enough gold to cast them.

Expeditions award a healthy sum of gold. If you are short on gold, consider bringing your character to an expedition game, or if you don't want to outlevel everyone in your group, DM a season 2 expedition as those award gold to DMs now. DM rewards are only 200XP per tier.
