Regarding Availability of Items

[Violinist]

The whole "Always available" thing has never really been very clear to me when put up against the fame buying limit and getting stuff on your chronicle sheet and such, so I just want to make certain that my current understanding of it is correct.

Let's say I want a set of Horseshoes of a Zephyr, a minor wondrous item listed in the CRB at 6,000GP. The table in the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play lists the maximum item cost of 22 Fame as 8,000GP.

Does this mean that once my character accrues 22 Fame, I'm able to shell out 6,000GP for the Horseshoes despite not having them on a chronicle sheet?

If so, then would I be accurate in describing the whole thing along the lines of "You can purchase items that are always available at any time as long as you have the money for it. The rest you're going to have to buy once you've got enough fame."?

That's accurate. Essentially, there's 3 ways to get access to an item: it's on the Always Available list OR it's on a chronicle sheet OR its cost is within your Fame limit. You only need to meet ONE of those requirements to buy the item.

That clears up a great deal for me. Thank you very much.
