Item Rarity
Explains how rarity gates access at the table: uncommon items surface rarely through private sellers, and rare items aren't for sale.
Parent page Crafting Items
Like many other aspects of the rules, items have rarities. Player characters might find uncommon magic items for sale, but only infrequently and often by private sellers or in clandestine markets. Their formulas are often guarded and not readily available. Unless the GM decides otherwise, a character cannot purchase rare items, and their formulas are lost to time.
Rarities for uncommon and rare treasures are indicated by the first trait in the stat block (or by the items' level if only some types of the item have a different rarity). Unique items are indicated in the same way, though there are none in this book.
