If a town has this listed for "marketplace"...

MARKETPLACE
Base Value 1,400 gp; Purchase Limit 7,500 gp; Spellcasting 4th
Minor Items 3d4; Medium Items 1d6; Major Items —

What does that mean exactly?

Base value: I have no idea what this is for.

Purchase limit: is that how much you can buy total? or the limit any single item can be worth? how about how much they can sell?

Spellcasting: is that the maximum level of the spellcaster? meaning say a fourth level cleric? Or is 4th meaning 4th level spells are the highest level spells you can get in the town?

minor/med/major items: are these the only magic items available in town at all? or just stuff that's available in addition to the stuff you can buy with the purchase limit?

thanks guys!


Base Value: There is a 75% chance that any item of this value or lower can be found for sale in the community with little effort. If an item is not available, a new check to determine if the item has become available can be made in 1 week.

Purchase limit: the most money a shop in the settlement can spend to purchase any single item from the PCs.

Spellcasting: the highest-level spell available for purchase from spellcasters in town.

minor/med/major items: the number of magic items above a settlement's base value that are available for purchase.
