For one reason or another an adventurer may be moved to donate to charity or invest to the betterment of a settlement. There are boons and rewards available to sponsoring a city project or helping develop a charitable organization. In order to benefit from a donation, you must contribute at least 1,000 gold.

The further you adventure the more you’ll need certain spells cast—but you may not yet be powerful enough to cast them. The first time this is likely to come up is after the untimely death of a party member. When this happens, to return them to life allies must seek out a spellcaster of some renown to hire for the task.

Powerful mages who advertise their services are only likely to be found in a magical metropolis. 

Refer to the Spellcasting Services table below for a list of commonly performed spells and associated prices.

You can also pay someone to enchant your weapons, armor, clothing, or jewelry. The price for an enchanted item such as this is the combined total of the crafter’s fee for a wondrous item and the cost of the mundane item without enchantment. 

Additionally, for a fee of a third of a magic item’s cost, you can have an enchanter transfer the enchantment from one magic item to a mundane item.

Adventurers can be a picky sort and sometimes it is harder to find the exact item they need on the rack of a smithy or the shelf of a magic item supplier. When this happens crafting the desired items from scratch is the solution—and why craft something yourself if you have the money to pay an expert?

Smithies are found in more developed settlements of at least a few dozen people, with more and more experienced smiths living in more highly populated areas. Here, adventurers can purchase any simple weapons. At the Narrator’s discretion you might find martial weapons and regionally specific weapons when applicable. Smithies also have a selection of medium and heavy armors. Light armor can be found at a leatherworker's shop.

At a certain point in an adventurer’s career they might find challenges that seem insurmountable without the aid of magic. Magic items are typically found as loot in complex dungeons or are given as rewards for completing dangerous quests. If you are in a large city or metropolis—or you find yourself in a world where magic is the norm—you may just be able to go shopping for magic items.

Living costs money, and when not out delving dungeons or exploring adventurers still need to eat, drink, and sleep to stay alive. A hot meal can be a glorious sight compared to the endless trail rations, and a room with a warm bed is a welcome respite compared to the unknown dangers on the trail.

You can’t eat money, and all wealth is eventually measured in commodities, luxuries, and trade goods. Local shortages, surpluses, trade embargoes, and treaties may shift values, but the following trade goods table shows the value of many commonly exchanged goods.
