DM Entry: Shackled City: Cauldron Shops and Taxes in chapter 4.

(Note: We will resolve all selling and buying at the next session. This is only a preview.)

Because of recent tax increases, merchants in Cauldron are now purchasing items at 40% rather than 50% (or 90% rather than 100%).

Also because of recent tax increases, merchants are selling items at 110% of normal prices (as indicated below).

You can buy nonmagic items from the Player's Handbook or from the Shoppe.pdf.

All of the shops selling magic items in town have the following items available during chapter 4. At any given time, there is a 20% chance that a magic item has already been sold when you attempt to buy it.

Remember if any certain item is only 1 item level above your character level, you can still buy it, albeit at double the price. If an item is 2 or more above your character level, you cannot buy it at all.
