Magic Items and Treasure Points
Magic Items and Treasure Point (TP)
Characters earn treasure points from adventures, then redeem those points in exchange for magic items. The list of available magic items we offer has been agreed to and compiled by the SCA staff.
Gaining Treasure Points
Each character earns treasure points based on an adventure's tier and its intended playing time:
- 1 Treasure Point is awarded for every 2 hours played in a Tier 1 or Tier 2 adventure.
- 1 Treasure Point is awarded for every 1 hour played in a Tier 3 or Tier 4 adventure.
- If a character completes an adventure of a Tier higher than that Character's Tier, the Character receives 1 Additional Treasure Point for that adventure.
- Post these purchases in #paperwork like so: Almeshe buys a bag of holding for 4 tp.
- Staff TP can also be spent this way but must be noted: Almeshe buys a wand of magic missiles for 4tp (staff).
- Purchases can also be split between personal and staff TP: Almeshe buys a broom of flying for 2 personal tp and 4 staff tp.
-Admin Note-
We highly recommend all members keep track of their Treasure Points on a tracker or excel document and save it on the Cloud or on Google Drive. If your claim on a Magic Item or the number of Treasure Points comes into question, you could find yourself out the TP or Magic Items, if no record of your claim to the points or item exists. The link below is a Master list of AP and TP for all characters across the server, it is the server’s method of tracking TP. You may use it at your own risk, we are human and can make mistakes.

Exchanging TP for Gold
Player’s may exchange of TP for Gold; rates of exchange are based on the HIGHEST TIER of your character. There is no limit to the amount of TP you can exchange but exchanging TP for gold in order to exploit the system and buy extra magic items is NOT allowed.
Tier 1: 1TP = 420GP
Tier 2: 1TP = 690GP
Tier 3: 1TP = 1000GP
Tier 4: 1TP = 1250GP
Magic Items & Gold
Magic items can also be bought with any gold earned from an adventure. Knowingly using gold earned from a Treasure point/gold exchange to exploit the system and buy magic items is NOT allowed.
Gold/Magic Item System:
Tier 1 or higher -> Blue items= 500 gp
Tier 1 or higher -> Green Items= 2500 gp
Tier 2 or higher -> Yellow items= 5500 gp
Tier 3 or higher -> Orange items= Unavailable for purchase with gold.
Tier 4 -> Red items = Unavailable for purchase with gold
Black Items are not available for purchase in any way, as they are reserved for DM Award ONLY
Scrolls & Potions
Scrolls and potions though Magic items work a little differently, these are the set prices, and when purchased whether with gold or TP, you receive 2 of a potion, or 2 of a same level scroll. Though the same level 2 different spells may be acquired with a single purchase.
Tier 1 or higher -> Blue Potions and Scrolls = 50 gp
Tier 1 or higher -> Green Potions and Scrolls = 150 gp
Tier 2 or higher -> Yellow Potions and Scrolls = 2500 gp
Tier 3 or higher -> Orange Potions and Scrolls = 10,000gp
Tier 4 -> Red Potions and Scrolls = Unavailable for purchase with gold
Additional Character Slots
Players are given two free character slots. Players may make deposits to purchase additional Character Slots, the cost for which starts at 15 and raises by 5 until the Player has a total of eight character slots. Any additional free slots given out from character drive, or other means, still count even though the TP was not spent. Ex. Mrs.Wiggy has 3 character slots, 2 from joining, 1 from a character drive, her fourth slot still costs 20tp.
Character #3- 15tp
Character #4- 20tp
Character #5- 25tp
Character #6- 30tp
Character #7- 35tp
Character #8- 40tp
Giving Magic Items as Gifts
Players can gift a magic item from one of their character to another Players character.
Ex: Bhogg gives Charity a Ring of Animal Friendship as part of their wedding vow.
The giving player must log in paperwork the gifting of said item to the character and it must be approved by a DM of the Tier of the Magic Item or Higher (not Probationary DM's). The item must have been logged on the giving players sheet and in paperwork at the time of Purchase and then logged on the gifted players sheet and in paperwork at the time of the giving. This must be verified by the approval DM.
Players WILL NOT attempt to give one of their character a gift from another of their character. This includes giving an item by proxy; IE Bent gives Dvnt an item to give to one of Bent's other characters. If a player is caught doing this, it will results in a temporary ban from the community. Length to be determined based on offense.
Gifts of Magic Items can happen 1 time per season or every 4 months, which ever is MORE.
Players gifting things must give an in character reason as to why the gift is being given; there must be a Role Play reason for the gift.
This can not be used to gain access to higher level gear then you would normally be able to buy.
Magic and Materials
Materials such as Mirthril and Adamantine are often used to create weapons and armor. An item that has a special material and magical enhancement follows these rules:
- Increase the restriction level of the LOWEST cost item. (IE blue becomes green, Yellow becomes Orange.)
- The tier restrictions of the HIGHEST colored level still applies. (If you want a +2 weapon, you must be tier 3 to buy it)
- The cost is the TP total of the two items combined, after the above alteration, and must be bought as a single item. One cannot buy +1 Chainmail, then add Adamantine to it afterward. Bought together they would now both be Yellow items with a combined cost of 16tp.
- The Ammunition, Armor, and Weapon Enhancements +1/+2/+3 are the only items that can be combined with Materials. Mithril can only be used in Armor.
Adamantine Armor | Mithral Armor | Adamantine Ammunition | Adamantine Weapons | Total TP Costs |
Armor +1 | Armor +1 | Ammunition +1 | Weapon +1 | 16 TP |
Armor +2 | Armor +2 | Ammunition +2 | Weapon +2 | 18 TP |
Armor +3 | Armor +3 | Ammunition +3 | Weapon +3 | 20 TP |
