*I have headed the columns by item rarity so it is easy to interpret, but the numbers are actually for table rolls, on item tables A-E reading across the page.

Level of acquisitionДЄverage items by level and tier, minor items IвЂ™ll split it up into minor and major items to fit this page format. Since in the item tables post we established how many rolls on which item table one hoard of any given tier represents on average, we can translate the hoards per level table into an items per level table. Level of acquisitionДЄdventuring days and hoards by level and tierДЇor comparison, XanatharвЂ™s expects 7 Tier 1 hoards, 18 Tier 2, 12 Tier 3 and 8 Tier 4 (including level 20, which I have not included) for a total of about 45. IвЂ™ll take it on trust that this may reflect adventure design practice (some combination of shorter adventuring days and multiple hoards in some adventures, I guess) IвЂ™m sure Wizards of the Coast have more idea how GMs across the world design adventures than I do. But now that I have looked at XanatharвЂ™s, IвЂ™m going to add another 30% to my base assumption, which aligns my hoards per level with the hoards per tier table on p135 of XanatharвЂ™s. I was going to write this piece assuming that you get one treasure hoard per adventuring day and take the minimum days for each level, and say that a lot depends on how individual GMs put adventures together and allocate treasure. In the level advancement post, we identified how many вЂadventuring daysвЂ™ it takes to advance through each level. Since I havenвЂ™t reverse-engineered quite how the XanatharвЂ™s numbers are derived, I feel it is still worth publishing this piece because my calculations are transparent and my figures are more detailed, giving item guidelines for each level rather than just tier by tier. It gives guidelines that are very similar to what I outline here, but not exactly the same. I confess that this feels a bit redundant because since the earlier posts IвЂ™ve acquired the official 5e book XanatharвЂ™s Guide to Everything, which covers some of the same material (on pages 135-136).

Here, IвЂ™m going to bring them together and see what they mean for magic items by level. Last month I posted one piece about magic item distribution and another about level advancement.
