OMG!
I hate to be that person. But, I'm gonna be that person. Still learning the system, so my apologies!
Regarding treasure and magic items! OH boy! I'm looking at the chart. That part, is all good! AND I'm sure this has been asked before, so please forgive me and no spanking.
MY question, which I'm sure I'm over complicating, do the item amounts LISTED get dispersed amoung the adventuring party, OR, does each member in the party look to have the listed amount?
For example, by the time the group hits 2nd lvl, it states:
Permament Items: 2nd-2 1st-2
Consumables: 2nd-2 1st-3
Total items for the party, OR each individual should have 2 2nd and 2 1st permanent items?
Perspiring minds want to know. Thanks all!
**I noticed it does state "PARTY TREASURE BY LEVEL", so I am assuming split amongst the group? Just want to be sure! Again, thanks!**

That is per player, not among the entire group. Remember that those rules are primarily intended for someone needing to make a new character at a higher level, rather than a party starting at a higher level in a campaign, though they definitely can be used for that.
I think OP is referring to the one for the whole party.
https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=2656&Redirected=1If your looking at this table its loot for the entire party.
Its also saying what loot to allow players to obtain during that level. Not all of it has to become found as soon as they hit level 2 for example.
Its the amount for a party of 4 pcs.

An interesting point to note when you read the chart is that during a given level X, the party can be expected to find two level X and two level X+1 permanent items.
For example, a level 3 party might find a +1 Striking weapon (a level 4 item) which is pretty powerful at that time. But if you want to craft items you can only craft up to your level (so max 3) and buying is usually also limited to at most your level.
The result of this is that adventuring "pays"; going out there and doing dangerous things is the fastest way to get the cool stuff.
That is per player, not among the entire group. Remember that those rules are primarily intended for someone needing to make a new character at a higher level, rather than a party starting at a higher level in a campaign, though they definitely can be used for that.
Ah! Understood. FOR some reason, I thought that was the party guideline to make sure everythingn stays balanced! Thanks for the clarification, most appreciated!

Thanks all, I didn't realize that there were two tables. SO, one is for keeping party balance, the other is for brinigng in a player to make sure they are set for gear based on party level.
The magic, treasure amount is to be spread out over the groups adventuring as they level up.
Thank you, again!
