I am GMing Curse of the Crimson Throne. I've a group of three players who have just hit 4th level and I'm looking for ideas for loot to drop in their way.
The characters are:
Shoanti Barbarian (fights with an Earthbreaker)
Fighter (fights with a two-handed sword, uses intimidate skill often)
Monk
I'm planning for the gear to appear as treasure, gifts from NPCs, and marketplace for purchase. If anyone has ideas for good magic gear for such characters I'd love to hear them.

The book has lots of "standard" equipment, so I'm going to list some homebrew items that might be fun for you.
Ring of Healing Touch (+5 Heal Skill, also can cast Cure Light Wounds @CL5 1/day)
Amulet of Health (+1 maximimum hitpoint per character level)
Pouch of Good Berries (8 berries appear in the pouch per day, each berry heals 1 hitpoint when eaten)
Brooch of Stoneskin (grants DR 2/-, can absorb up to 50 points of damage before the brooch crumbles to dust)
Potions are a great source of magic goodness. These can provide some rather fun effects that can be semi-powerful yet limited by the number of uses.
Potion of Wolf's Head (grants the scent ability, adds +10 to Survival to track, lasts 2 hours, imbiber's head turns into that of a wolf while the potion is in effect)
Potion of Garlic Breath (breath out in a 20ft cone, all in the area must make a DC15 Fort save or be sickened for 1d6 rounds, any vampires caught in the area also take 6d6 damage, half if the save is made)
Potion of Fuzzy Animal (toss the vial so it shatters, out pops a fuzzy animal off of summon Monster X list (example: rats, dogs, snakes, etc.))
Potion of Dark Touch (every foe struck with an unarmed strike takes an extra +1 damage from negative energy, the attacker gains +1 hitpoint, as if healed, up to max hitpoints, lasts 10 rounds)

-Belt of Strength
-Monk Robe
-Helm of the Maiden (get your barbarian to wear this, it'll be hysterical with that name)
-Rings of Protection
-Quick-Runner's shirt
-Prayer beads
-Ring of Ki Mastery
-Ring of the Beast
But I wouldn't see anything wrong with showering them with rods, staves, wands and scrolls.

If you use 3rd party books. I highly recommend the loot for less books for characters below level 5. They have cheap magic items that will not over power the characters for there level. That's the main problem I ran in to. Most of the good items in pathfinder cost more then what low level character should have. So loot for less is what I use to fill in levels 2-5. With out them having one powerful magic item.
