#1 karmme Mar 04, 2009 12:26:20	I've been looking forever and I can't seem to find a must have magical equipment guide for cheaper magic items. Items that I've scrounged around and found to be useful were as follows (also added the cheapest items from Bunko's Bargain Basement) Everlasting Rations (Heroes of Battle, 350GP) Healing belt (Magic Item Compendium, 750GP) Everful Mug (ToEE, 800gp) Darkwood Heavy Shield (DMG, 257 GP) Mithril Breastplate/Chain shirt (DMG, +1000 for light/+4000 for medium) Hand of the Mage (DMG, 900gp) Unlimited Mage Hand for 900 gp--not bad at all. Reliquary Holy Symbol (MiC, 1000 gp) Provides up to 3 extra turn undead attempts per day. Cloak of Elemental Protection (Minatures Handbook, 1,000 gp) Resist energy 10 as an immediate action. Hat of Disguise (1.8k) +10 disguise Eyes of the eagle (2.5k) +5 spot Goggles of Minute seeing (1.25k) +5 search Sundark Goggles (races of dragon, 10g) immunity to light blindness, -1 spot, +2 against gazes Steadfast Boots (MiC, 1400 gp) +4 bonus to avoid bull rush, trip, or overrun attacks. Any two-handed weapon you carry is treated as if readied against any creature that charges you. Gloves of the Master Strategist (Ghostwalk, 3,600 gp) True Strike 1/day and functions like gloves of storing Holy Surge (DMG II, 2,000 gp) an extra 2d6 holy damage Charisma times per day Magebane (CAr 143, +1 Bonus) – When wielded against a spellcaster or invocation user, +2 extra enhancement and +2d6 dmg. Smoking Weapon (LoD, pg 180, +1 enchantment), real concealment that doesn’t effect the users vision and a localized stinking cloud to discourage grappling. Sudden Stunning Weapon (DMGII, pg 261, 2000 gp) reflex save to stun to a weapon. DC and uses per day are based on charisma +X Mithral Twilight (Book of Exalted Deeds, PHB2) Chain Shirt. Armor for anyone(except Monks or Ninjas). No Check Penalty, no ASF, no movement penalties. Ring of Sustenance (DMG, 2,500 gp) immunity to eating and drinking and only need 2 hours of sleep a day. Wand of Lesser Vigor (750 gp, SC 229 for spell) One of the most efficient gp-to-hp healing devices available. Wand of Cure Light Wounds (750g) Highly efficient gp-to-hp healing ratio. Hewards Handy Haversack (2000 gp) Holds less than a Bag of Holding, but also costs less, and the retrieval function is very valuable. Ioun Stone, Gray (DMG, 60 gp) With continual flame, becomes a hands-free perpetual light source Quaal’s feather token – tree (400gp) Silent portal disk (350gp, Magic of Faerun p165): Any door you put the disk on makes no sound, no creaking when you open it, no cracking if you smash the lock. Your DM will hate your rogue. If you cast "animate object" on the door, you will have the first door ninja ever. You could also whack people with the door and the hit wouldn't make a noise. Tooth of Savnok (Tome of Magic, 2000 gp) Move at your normal speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load. Eggshell grenade (OA, 10gp) blind your target (no save) and area around him (DC < 15) Masterwork Tools (50gp) These are frequently overlooked, and they shouldn't be. Buy a book to aid you in a Knowledge skill, or a snappy outfit to aid your Diplomacy check. Trollbane (Dungeonscape, 90gp) Used to coat a weapon. Makes weapon ignore any regeneration for one strike. (Half Black Dragon War Troll, meet flight of Trollbaned arrows. Buh-bye.) Anklet of Translocation. 1400 gp, MiC. 2xday as a swift action, teleport 10 feet.

#4 sofawall Mar 04, 2009 20:24:19	Yonder link is broken. Try this one. We work on forums.gleemax.com now, not boards1.wizards.com.
#5 yteh_ek_pfff Mar 04, 2009 23:43:30	That is odd I thought I had cut and pasted it edit: I remember, I was trying to rename the link to "Bunko's bargain's" or something (unfortunately I have not yet mastered the board controls)
#6 phaedrusxy Mar 05, 2009 14:36:25	Anklet of Translocation. 1400 gp, MiC. 2xday as a swift action, teleport 10 feet. Freakin' insanely good. The first link I provided was to the currently updated version of Bunko's, also. A lot of the regulars from this forum migrated to BG a while back.
#7 true_shinken Mar 05, 2009 16:09:27	Wait, Gloves of the Master Strategist are better than Gloves of Storing... AND ARE ALSO CHEAPER??
#8 sofawall Mar 05, 2009 16:14:46	Hoorah, yet another example of writers forgetting what they have in the other books.
#9 Endarire Mar 05, 2009 19:54:28	A Twilight armor enchant requires at least a +1 on the armor. The cheapest market value for this assuming a Medium creature is 1100 (shirt) + 4000 (+1 Twilight enchant) = 5100. Still, it's an arcane gish's favorite mundane protection.

Mage Armor is probably a better (mostly free) option, though.
