These tables are intended as a general reference and guidelineregarding what a party of adventurers might get on the openmarket for an item if they worked at it. The main purpose for thispage is to provide data for discussion of in-party pricing of magicitems when loot is distributed.
The Dungeon Master's Guide provides a series of Magic Item Tables lettered A through I (pp. 144 to 149), organized for random treasure selection. Xanathar's Guide to Everything introduces a distinction between minor magic items and major magic items as a broad categorization (p. 135) in addition to the common, uncommon, rare, very rare, and legendary rarities introduced in the DMG. Dec 04, 2014 Roll an Adventure Using the 5e Dungeon Master’s Guide — Part I Posted on December 4, 2014 by James Floyd Kelly. 13 Comments Earlier this week, I wrote about the newly released 5th edition Dungeon Master’s Guide and how much I had enjoyed reading through it and uncovering some great tools for creating custom campaigns and adventures.
As there are no prices assigned to magic items in Second EditionAD&D, the prices on this page were arrived at by using1st Ed. DMG prices whenever possible, using 1stEd. Unearthed Arcana prices when the DMG didn't cover the item, usingHackMaster (4th Ed.) prices when neither AD&D sourceprovided a price and finally making something that seemed reasonableup in the few cases when none of those sources sufficed. Then theresults were adjusted where necessary to fit the economics of the gameworld.
Note that this is not the source I refer to for prices, andcertainly not what I refer to for the selection of magic items for mycampaign. I make use of a considerably larger, more customizedversion of this page - its evolutionary descendant, if you will. Thatversion contains far too many

Oncethe general category is determined, the DM can choose a specific itemfrom the tables below. (Each item on the tables is given a die rollnumber so that the DM can select items randomly, if he chooses.) Sometables have several subtables. Each subtable has a range of numbersin parentheses at the top. To select the appropriate subtable, checkthe die listed after the table's title. Roll the listed die and findthe result in the number range at the top of one of the subtables.This is the subtable you read to determine which item in the list hasbeen found.
Forexample, the Potions and Oils table has '(D6)' after the title.That means you roll a 6-sided die to determine which Subtable (A, B,or C) to read. If you roll a 2, for example, you check subtable A(which has '1-2' at the top); if you roll a 6, you readsubtable C (which has '5-6' at the top). Roll 1d20 on theappropriate subtable to determine the specific item found. Then turnto the descriptions following the tables to find out what each itemdoes.

If you’re playing by-the-book 5e D&D, how much magical treasure is a party likely to find? Is it less than other editions? Is that wererat’s immunity to normal weapons a big deal?
The DMG and Xanathar’s Guide offer some guidance: “Over the course of a typical campaign, a party finds treasure hoards amounting to seven rolls on the Challenge 0-4 table, eighteen rolls on the Challenge 5-10 table, twelve rolls on the Challenge 11-16 table, and eight rolls on the Challenge 17+ table.” That’s 45 rolls, roughly two per character level: three per level at CR 5-10, because level advancement slows there because that’s the game’s “sweet spot”. (I’m assuming that most fights are intended to be against a CR equal to character level, which may be a big assumption, but which looks borne out by this treasure distribution.)
Xanathar’s Guide has a further table, Magic Items Awarded by Tier, which specifies the number of major and minor items the party should expect to collect. For instance, during character levels 1-4, it says the party is supposed to accumulated 9 “minor” items (mostly expendable items like potions and scrolls, plus a few low-power permanent items) and 2 “major” items (like magic swords and shields and ioun stones and the like). During character levels 5-10, the party should find 28 more minor items and 6 more major items.
Because I like to check math, I decided to, well, check the math, and I found that the Xanathar’s chart is close to, but not 100%, accurate. For example, let’s take the number of major items collected during levels 5-10. Xanathar’s says 6 items will be accumulated over 18 treasure rolls. Let’s compare this to the Dungeon Master’s Guide treasure tables.
In one treasure roll for levels 5-10, you have a 14% chance of getting 1d4 items from Magic Item Table F (an expectation of .35 items), a 4% chance of getting 1d4 items from Magic Item Table G (an expectation of .1 items), and a 2% chance of an item from Magic Item H (.02 items). Over 18 rolls, that’s 8.46 major magic items. Not a big difference from 6 – 40% off, which is in the ballpark – but if the Xanathar’s table is at all useful to you, you may like to have a more accurate version of the table.
My more detailed (broken down by level) and accurate chart is below.
I’ve also added a column for Magic Weapons: this is how many of the party’s major items can be expected to be magic weapons, based on the percentage of magic weapons on each treasure table. This is useful if you want to know, for instance, how big of a deal it is that gargoyles are resistant to, and lycanthropes are immune to, nonmagic weapons.

How Are Magic Item Tables Broken Down Dmg 5e Free
The discrepancy in numbers between my chart and Xanathar’s may be nothing more than rounding error in the Xanathar chart: despite different estimates per level, we end up in the same place. Xanathar’s Guide says that over 20 levels, a party will find “roughly one hundred items.” According to my calculations, the party should find 101.8 items – pretty damn close to 100. Of these, 75 will be minor items, and only 7 will be magic weapons.
Conclusion 1: Use my chart instead of Xanathar’s if you are a fan of unnecessarily high precision.
Conclusion 2: Magical treasure is given out rather sparingly in 5e, apart from minor items, which are given out like candy. Let’s take a 6-person party, three of whom are weapon users. Each character won’t have his or her own major item until level 6, and all three weapon users won’t have magical weapons until around level 9. That means that that CR 2 Wererat (or CR 1/2 jackalwere), will probably be an annoyance for some time.
Caveat: This treasure distribution doesn’t match my game, and it probably doesn’t match yours either. In fact, it may not match any real-world game at all. Are there any DMs who provide purely random treasure, and at the by-the-book rate of distribution? I know that when I DM, the monsters drop minor magic items at a much lower rate, and major items at a much higher rate. Another DM may be much stingier than me. But if you are striving to play by-the-book, this may help you.
