There is also only one suit of magic armor in the entire campaign (mithral chainmail). As written, there are exactly two: a +2 trident and a cursed berzerker axe. In particular, most DMs will probably want to add a couple of magic weapons for martial characters. 24 of the magic items are in the last 2 chapters, which is pretty much the endgame. I count 90 total magic items for a level 1-13 campaign - the majority are potions & scrolls. how many are there in an equal 5e adventure path from levels 1-10? How many does HotDQ have? Rime?Дoes 3e, known for its Christmas tree magic item lists, have more magic items per adventure than AD&D, or is TSR era D&D the king of magical loot?ДЄs written, Rime of the Frostmaiden has a fairly generous amount of potions, scrolls, and wizard spellbooks but is quite stingy with everything else.

In that one campaign, there are 141 magical items. That puts the PCs at around level 8-9ish. Let's say a typical campaign in B/X starts with B2, goes to X1 Isle of Dread, then X4 and wrapping it up at X5. But most are between 25-30, with roughly half of those being potions or scrolls.ДҐe seems to really have pushed the 'magic' part of the game into class abilities, and away from magical items. I was going through many of the older adventures from various editions, and it seems that 5e has a significantly lower amount of magical items in the published adventures than previous editions.ДЇor example, in B/X and 1e, it seems there is an average of 29 magic items per module (it varies quite a bit, like Palace of the Silver Princess having roughly 10, while Keep on the Borderlands is pushing 40, and Temple of Death having 65!).
