There are numerous magical items scattered throughout D&D 5e, from harmless curiosities to world-shattering artifacts of unimaginable power and everything in between. Magic items can vary wildly in terms of function, form, power, and price. Depending on the kind of world in which your campaign takes place (high fantasy versus pulp sword and sorcery...
DnD has a lot of magic itemsin the game. How do you, the DM, put a price on all of these items? Well, in order to ensure your players don’t end up paying well over the odds for a potion of healing, or end up getting their hands on something way too dangerous at 1st level, item value in D&D 5e is linked to rarity. In addition to determining the gene...
Magic items are extremely rare in most DnD campaigns. Powerful items pilfered from far off dragon vaults and the crypts of slumbering liches will be extremely valuable, but it won’t always be easy to find a buyer. Players may find it difficult to purchase magic items with coins alone. An alchemist may be unwilling to part with a magic potion for an...
It takes a lot of time, gold, and powerful magic to create a magic item. Because of this, most folks never even see such a thing. Adventurers, however, are not ordinary people. Most magic items are ancient relics from past civilizations, or the works of powerful mages living in far away lands. It’s extremely rare to find someone with the ability to...
If players are in a place where many adventurers, explorers, and traders gather, they may be able to trade for magic items. In such a location, there may be many magic items available, providing the players have enough gold. In these cases, it’s a good idea to prepare a list of available items—and their prices—ahead of time. Make sure to choose ite...
Creating a new magic item can be as easy as tweaking an existing item, or changing its item type. The new item would probably have the same value as the one it was derived from. Custom magic items may also have a value based on their power level. A wand that allows its holder to cast a level 6 spell, for example, would be a rare find, and could be ...
Some DM’s choose to make identifying magic items more challenging than simply letting a player pick up a glowing sword and going “Oh, yeah! A rare magic swordthat gives +2 to charisma. Sweet!” Players have to either experiment to learn the magic properties of items, or else use the identify spell. So how should you go about pricing items that haven...
Just because two items are identical, doesn’t mean they have to carry the same value. Other elements can factor into the price of an item. For instance, an item’s previous owner might have an effect on its value. That isn’t just any +1 longsword. That’s the +1 longsword the mighty Deric used to defeat the Skull King. Likewise, items might have diff...
Some magic items are incredibly powerful. These items may be beyond normal concepts of value. After all, exactly how much do you charge for a scroll that releases an ancient and powerful monster? Who would buy it? As the DM, these questions could be the beginning of new adventures. When such items come up in a campaign, they are likely to draw atte...
Product inventory, pricing and details for shops, vendors, traders and merchants in D&D 5e role playing games.
Their price lists were based on a silver standard and every item is priced according to the value of the labour: the source cost of each item is that which the craftsman or farmer would require in exchange for the time and expenses it took them to produce the item, for them to make enough money to pay rent and feed their family.
Xanathar’s Guide to Everything contains a wide variety of common magical items that are mostly useful for flavor and storytelling. This isn’t the book you’re looking for if you want to give the players powerful magic items.
But, the values provided aren't static, there is a backend to the spreadsheet where you can change the base values of a magic weapon, of the cost of a spell, how much a condition should be worth on a magic item, and more!

I applied a formula to the "Sane" price guide that has floated around for years to try and fit it a bit better to prices people would expect, tweaked major outliers, and then extrapolated prices for items that have released since the DMG.
