Discounted magic items in Dungeons and Dragons 5e provide players with the opportunity to obtain powerful and unique items at a reduced cost. These discounted items can be found in various ways, such as through quest rewards, special events, or as loot dropped by defeated enemies. The reduced cost allows players to acquire magic items that they may not have been able to afford otherwise. The availability of discounted magic items adds an exciting element to the game, as players are always on the lookout for opportunities to acquire these powerful items at a lower price. It also allows players to customize their characters and enhance their abilities in unique ways. One of the benefits of discounted magic items is that they can provide players with a significant advantage in combat.
Pricing magic items is a large debate among D&D players. The price of a magic item, according the DMG, is based on the item's rarity. However, an item's rarity is not always a good measure of the item's power in relation to other items. The table below shows how items are priced (as described in Xanathar's Guide to Everything). However, when you make the roll on this page, we have also included the value based on the homebrew Sane Price Guide. The DM has full discretion on which price to use, and if they want to modify the price even more.

Magic Item Purchase Complication
The magic item trade is fraught with peril. The large sums of money involved and the power offered by magic items attract thieves, con artists, and other villains. If you want to make things more interesting, you can roll on the complications table or invent your own complication. Note: Most downtime activities have a 10% chance of a complication, however Xanathar's Guide to Everything makes complications optional when buying a magic item.

In addition to combat advantages, discounted magic items can also provide players with unique role-playing opportunities. These items may have special abilities or properties that allow players to interact with the game world in new and interesting ways. For example, a discounted magic item may allow a character to speak with animals or have the ability to turn invisible. While discounted magic items offer exciting opportunities for players, it is important for Dungeon Masters to carefully consider the balance and impact of these items on the game. Providing too many discounted magic items can result in an imbalance of power within the party and make encounters too easy. It is important to strike a balance that allows players to acquire discounted magic items without making the game overly simple or predictable. In conclusion, discounted magic items in Dungeons and Dragons 5e offer players the chance to obtain powerful and unique items at a reduced cost. These items provide advantages in combat and role-playing opportunities, but it is important for Dungeon Masters to carefully consider their impact on the game's balance. Players can look forward to seeking out and acquiring these discounted magic items to enhance their characters and make their adventures even more exciting..
