After looking at Angel's character sheet on character builder and doing some calculations, I discovered I had not updated her since level 2 gear-wise. But I did her correctly at lvl 2. So it's all good because the math will add up. Anyway, figured I'd give a list of TOTAL gold at each level for everyone's convenience.
Magic Item Cost-Increase scale:
Levels | Extra amount added |
| since last level |
--------|-----------------------|
01-05 | 160 |
06-10 | 800 |
11-15 | 4,000 |
16-20 | 20,000 |
21-25 | 100,000 |
26-30 | 500,000 |
31-35 | 2,500,000 |
Obvious rate of adding x5 every half tier. 160x5=800, 800x5=4,000. So on.
(Note: These are the amount added PER level. So a level 1 item is 360. Then you add 160 for a level 2 item for a total of 520 for a level 2 item. Then you add 160 for a level 3 item for a total of 680 for a level 3 item. So on. At level 6, the amount changes from 160 to 800. So a level 5 item is 1,000 and a level 6 item is 1,800.)
Beginning price (Level 1 items): 360 gp
Highest Price (Level 30 items): 3,125,000 gp
Level 31 item: 5,625,000 gp
TOTAL
(If you sold everything you own and add the gold you own, you should have this much)

ADDING!
So that you don't have to sell everything you own to figure out how much more to get, this is how much gold you get when you reach a new level. This is not in addition to the total amount. For instance, Angel had 1920 gold worth of stuff at level 2. So when she got level 3, she could add 640 gp for a TOTAL of 2560 (1920 + 640 = 2560).
I have put up the amount you gain per level as well as the amount you would gain based off the x1.5 rule. So for example, Angel levels up from level 2 to level 3. She SHOULD actually have 2,880 gold worth of stuff (instead of the 1,920 listed in the previous paragraph). So when she gains level 3, she simply adds 960 to her gold (2880 + 960 = 3840). If you have questions, let me (Tim) know.
