Ring of Spell Storing with the Find Familiar and Find Steed/Find Greater Steed spells can get really silly. By passing the ring around a party everyone can end up with a familiar and a mount. Takes quite a few hours to accomplish, but makes for an amazing use of the item during down time.

Played with a group in Adventures League that with the new AL rules all had a ring of Spellstoring. Since it was the same group from one session to the next and the modules specifically said that there was a week between modules we had fun with that. So Hellish Rebuke went to everyone along with some other spells thanks to my Hexblade Warlock/Shadow Sorcerer and I picked up a healing word and 2 spiritual weapons. When I cast spiritual weapon the DM looked over to the cleric and said "You gave him that?" Needless to say we turned a group of 1st time players into an OP group.

A Sorcerer or Wizard should love to have an Amulet of Health. Turning a 12 Constitution or 14 Constitution into a 19 Constitution gives a huge amount of extra health for classes that tend to have very low health, and usually works out to be +2 or +3 on Constitution Saving Throws to maintain concentration on a spell.

The party I’m running for is a moon druid, land druid, spellsinger wizard, divination wizard, forge cleric and an efreet genie warlock. It’s surprisingly capable. The moon druid soaked about 3 characters worth of damage in our last fight. I didn’t even take one of them down, despite setting the encounter at a “deadly” difficulty. The divination wizard made the evil priest miss with 2 of his 3 spells, and I rolled poorly on the last. I scared them at least, and they did burn everything. Knowing what treasure to award without making them ludicrously powerful is helpful. I think I’ll throw a pearl of power to the group and let them fight it out, since they all can use it. =)

Another neat idea for melee focused spell casters; the artificer in a campaign I’m playing in opened up a shop to make and sell jewelry and magic items, and a paladin npc asked for his glaive to be enchanted to make it stronger and allow him to regain some of his magical energy. So basically it’s a +1 Glaive that can be used once per day to regain a spell slot like the Pearl of Power. I think it was limited to a lv 1 spell slot but that’s still one extra Smite that guy can make. Other mage focused magic items could be re-skinned like that; like a Rod of the Pact Keeper that takes the form of a mace, or a shield that can store spells.

Best magic item I ever had as a wizard, way the hell back in 2e, was a vorpal chakram (that razor frisbee from Xena). I think the DM just made it up because it seemed cool and he didn't expect loads of action with it. I couldn't hit dick with it generally, so I ended up using it most often as a cutting implement, but when we had a BBEG I would pitch it just on the offhand chance of actually hitting, which usually was only on a 20 - a guaranteed decapitation. I still remember his face when I pulled it out and got a successful decap on one of his big villains, he realized just what he'd done. Good times.

My favorite magic item: The Robe of Useful Items. Why? I normally DM, but I volunteered to play in a campaign as a sort of 'chaperone' for a bunch of first-time players and a first-time DM. So I'm playing a wizard and focusing almost purely on utility and shenanigans. I see my job as helping to make sure everyone has a good time, so I want to have great roleplaying, lots of out-of-combat utility, and also not overshadow the other players while in combat (while still giving them the confidence that the wizard has their back when needed). And if I can occasionally get a few laughs, then all the better. I pitched the idea to the DM, and they let me do it, along with the following change: I can add any nonmagical item into the robe by expending double the item's value in magical thread, taking 1hr per 10GP spent (minimum 1hr per item). This lets me pretty reliably use a few items per day and always have a slightly different mix of things to pull out. It's so much fun. In a darkened sewer, I pulled out a rubber duck, had the cleric cast light on it, and used it to illuminate our path. Against a mind-controlling boss, I used bricks from the robe along with the catapult spell to force a dex save that got around all his magical defenses and elemental damage resistances. The visual of pulling a brick out of your pocket and force-chucking it at the BBEG was just so much fun. The BBEG failed his concentration check to continue dominating the fighter, and that fighter was piiiiiiiissed... What a fun moment for everyone at the table, and it's all thanks to a not-very-powerful "magic" item that's honestly a bit absurd. Any time you can use these sorts of silly things to let your players get creative, you're gonna have a good time. (the weightless stone has another good story, but perhaps another time...)

I love the Crystal Ball, really messed with my DM a few times. I remember he had a tracking event set up, after the party found the target my wizard thought it was stupid to keep sitting around and just watching...he got bored easily. So he sent his familiar, a mouse, to take a bit of hair from the target and walked back to our headquarters. While the rest of the party was watching the target, he made a simulacrum and gave it the Crystal Ball and the lock of hair. Then just sat back making some scrolls and learning new spells until the simulacrum got results. Once it did he teleported to the target, DM gave me surprise because, "who the hell expects that," Hold Person at 3rd level, two failed wisdom saves, and another teleport scroll to the king...who was sleeping at the time, he also didn't care to go through any sort of social decorum, and the quest was complete. I should also say that my wizard didn't tell any one in the party what he was doing, so they were just as surprised when he teleported in.

My first character in DnD5e was a charlatan wizard that posed as a Red Wizard of Thay to scary people. Eventually, we had a time jump in the adventure and he spent decades training with a Mind Flayer Arcanist. In the Epic level, by randomly rolling in the treasure tables, the DM awarded me BOTH the Staff of the Magi and the Robe of the Archmage. We didn't realize at the time how powerful this combination was, and the final boss was defeated easily, allowing me to steal the Book of Vile Darkness and reach Level 20. Of course, he became so powerful that now he is the architect villain behind almost campaigns I run.

Grimoire Infinitus from the Wildemount book is pretty great, but unfortunately only for wizards. And it levels up with the user, so you can award it somewhat early. It has a LOT of great spells in it so the wizard that gets it will have a huge opportunity to play creatively, and pick up new spells they otherwise might not have risked over others that are bound to be good. It also allows the wizard to prepare 1 to 3 (depending on it's leveled state) additional spells per day, which as far as I'm aware is actually a totally unique effect! Spells in the book: alarm, antimagic field, Bigby’s hand, blight, charm person, confusion, control weather, create undead, detect thoughts, enlarge/reduce, fear, foresight, gaseous form, glyph of warding, legend lore, Leomund’s tiny hut, mass suggestion, mislead, misty step, Mordenkainen’s faithful hound, prismatic spray, ray of enfeeblement, silent image, teleport, and thunderwave.

Re-jiggered the old Wave Trident from White Plume (in this world now called Crimson Tide) and got it into our Poseidon disciple Tempest Cleric's hands at a low level, 6 in fact. But the powers unlocked over time - avoiding overpowering and also eliminated 'weapon upgrade cycle'- with the capstone feature at lvl 17 being that in addition to it's magic/battle capabilities it was also.....3 separately tuned tuning forks (draw it in your head, it works. Both outer tines form a big one, then each outer coupled with the inner tine). It was real fun for all of us

I remember in our zero session the GM awarded us with some magical homebrewed items that were somewhat useless but were very fun. The boots of blinding speed, as the name suggest allowed you to move incredibly fast, however, you'd go blind the second you'd put them on. There was this other cape that I forgot its name that would make you invisible, however a booming voice would narate everything you do while wearing the cape. I play a Pact of the Tome Warlock and the DM awarded me with Illusionist's Bracers and I have to say, its a blasting experience :))

Rod of Alertness is one of my favorite magic items for ANY caster. Advantage on initiative and perception (and a +5 to passive perception, for what it's worth), and a handful of handy but not usually prime spells that can be cast from the rod without you having them prepared is really nice.

On a totally constructive comment. I do a houserule that plus to spell save DC items don't stack, just like I don't let protection items stack. You merely get the highest bonus had on an item. As well I limit how many items can increase spell or weapon attack to a maximum bonus of 5. Helps keep the game more balanced while being able to hand out more magical items to my players.

I've looked into maximizing defense, and the three magic items you want to attune to are the Staff of Power (+2 to both AC and saves), the Robe of the Archmage (advantage on all saves vs. magic), and the Cloak of Invisibility (attacks against you have disadvantage, most spells can't target you). It was interesting to see two out of three of those items pop up here. The build you want to make this work starts with fighter 1/cleric 1/ War wizard 2. That's it. You're picking up the Defense fighting style, Shield of Faith, and Arcane Deflection, pairing it with plate +3 and a shield +3. Where you go from there is up to you. Alternatively, go paladin 6/War wizard 2; it's a deeper level investment, but you'll have better saves (depending on your CHA).

Also it's really fun to see frustration on the enemies face" stand still and fight" nope I think not

ditto for the Pearl of Power, particularly around level 5-7. getting back that 3rd level spell slot is huge, particularly for a Sorcerer. I love dropping a Twinned Haste, but I run out of either MM points or spell slots. getting the 3rd level slot back means I can quite easily burn a spell slot for points and still have enough spells for the day. I've also found a lot of use of the Wand of Magic Missile. for similar reasons to the wand of fireballs, but it's less power breaking, because it's still single target, but it's really nice to be able to pull out and just empty it, or pull it out and get more reliable damage than a cantrip. the Elven Chain is a good rare item for mages. it's a base AC of 14+dex, which means you're actually not too far off a moderate AC.

my sorcerer/bard made a lot of use out of the slippers of spider climb. it's on the Adventurer League evergreen list (so it's always available for players with treasure points). not having to make athletics checks while climbing and just climbing up the wall of the castle to get to the BBG's inner sanctum was excellent. in tunnels, dungeons, and caves, spider climb is a better spell than fly. and not having to concentrate on the spell is just gravy.

I haven't really read the DMG but the pearl of power is a great idea. I homebrewed an item that was a weaker version of that and that I could give out a bit earlier (I think a spell slot for free is a bit much at level 3). Enter the bloodbite ring: as an action, roll a d6. You lose that much hp. On a 1 or 2, nothing happens, on a 3, 4, or 5 you regain a level 1 slot and on a 6 you regain 2 level 1 slots or a level 2 slot (player's choice). I gave this to a friend playing a wizard and loves his glass cannon builds.

While not a magic item per se, I have a homebrew crafting item: hallowed-out rods. A cage for the rod would be needed to use a rod because the cage is able to hold a maximum of 7 wands in a circular fashion, but works best with the more commonly found wands-- magic missle for example. There are a few rules for safety though: 1. Only one variety of wands should go into a rod 2. Never use more than one charge at a time 3. Be wary of surroundings Disobeying the rules can result in the equivalent of a nuclear bomb exploding on everyone around them.

I'm still fairly new to D&D and have only played one arcane caster, a wizard specifically so far. The only magic item he has is a Shield Guardian's Amulet. Gotta love Vorn in Tomb of Annihilation. I know a Druid isn't part of this video, but my first ever character was a Druid who got a Sunblade. You might wonder 'what use is that'. Well the DM homebrewed a variant of it. It was a scimitar made of wood that dealt slashing damage normally, but it's radiant mode could be activated to make it to radiant damage and gain the bonus damage to undead.

She has the headband of intellect to counter her low intelligence. And she likes to give her own life force to those that need it so she has a ring of regeneration to counter her recklessness. I think life transference is a great spell. You hurt yourself to heal someone for double your pain. And i got access to flying early then i gained dragon wings way before i would have gotten my angel wings i thunk dragon wings on a kobold is much cooler then angels.

The Ring of Spell Storing is my personal favorite item for creative problem solving. You guys missed a hidden aspect to it! It was touched on a BIT when you talked about giving it to the fighter, rogue, or barbarian, but another way to use it....is to give it to a familiar (or other animal companion under your control). The only base requirement to attune to a magic item is to be a creature. Using a magic item also has no inherent requirements. The ring of spell storing has no class requirements and no activating word, and since spells cast from magic items require no components (including verbal and somatic), there is no RAW reason why a familiar would not be able to use the ring, as all creatures have 3 attunement slots. Familiars also have no clause that they cannot take the Cast a Spell action (although spells that cause attack rolls are off the table). Now, there is a requirement that it's up to the DM whether or not a creature's form allows them to use a specific magic item. However magic items resize, and most creatures have appendages on which rings may be fitted. It might also make sense for low intelligence familiars to struggle with how to use it. Tressym have a solid intelligence score, as do the chain warlock familiars. Even aside from those specific forms, it's within reason that over time a spellcaster could teach their familiar how to activate the ring via focus or the like, as though it were a trick. My current sorcerer (with wizard ritual casting) did this with his owl using a separate ring that could infinitely cast Dancing Lights. Even with all of that, there are some limitations however. Familiars are very fragile, and it's probably a bad idea for them to do things like cast Fireball, as enemies will just shoot them out of the sky in response, probably with one attempt. However, buffs are generally less noticeable, and certain ones like Haste and Fly that would seriously hurt to lose concentration on are prime options for a familiar to cast and then hide so their concentration is preserved. This also lets the spellcaster use their concentration on other things, to great overall effect. Further, there are certain spells, like Comprehend Languages, which are significantly more powerful in the hands of familiars. For some examples, taken from my Wild Sorcerer's gameplay: She has the background of being an alchemist, and her spells and magic items tend to reflect this. At some point she got an Alchemy Jug, which she nightly extracts 2 acid Vials from if it wasn't used for other things. She's constantly restocking on bottles, which can be filled with 6 Vials worth of liquid. She also occasionally uses Polymorph to turn an ally into a Giant Scorpion, which she harvests venom from. So, in a pinch she does this in combat to eke out a lot of damage with her pre-prepared resources: Owl casts Haste on her from the ring at the start of the fight. On her turn she casts Fireball. She uses hasted action to shoot a giant scorpion venom crossbow bolt. She uses item interaction to pull out a bottle of acid and place it on the ground. Familiar on his turn casts Catapult from the ring to fling the bottle of acid at an enemy (or readied action to do it on her turn). Sorc potentially uses Bend Luck to ensure the bottle connects. Another non-combat example, is our party had a moment where we needed to remotely spy on a boat off in the distance, while we were on the shore. None of us had much in the way of divination magic for this scenario, so instead I put Comprehend Languages in my familiar's ring. He cast that, then the druid cast Enhance Ability: Intelligence on him, then I cast Invisibility on him. We then sent him off with the instructions to find people who were talking about where they were headed or what they were looking for, and listen in on their conversation. After about an hour had passed, I desummoned him and resummoned nearby, and had him relay what he learned to me before his memory boost expired.

The Ring of Spell Storing is so unbelievably useful in all kinds of situations. With enough downtime and a high enough level party, you could have a Paladin cast Find Steed or Find Greater Steed into the ring and have the party pass it around over the course of a few hours, giving every player a pretty powerful mount. Same with Wizards and Familiars.

Instead of a crystal ball I had a 2nd addition F/T/M Elf get a mirror that worked like a crystal ball, but also you could step through. Now Staff of the Magi, I had a 2nd Ad. Mage get it at 10th level. (the DM used the chart in the DMG and that is what came up). One item that I liked was the ring of spell turning and that saved my bacon a few times. A lot of Wizards forget about certain defensive spells. Still the old monster manual and DMG gave out more magic items than most people figure on. Now one thing I always did, was if they have a magic item, that orc shaman over there might have a bit extra, or the mongeral man mage. Then the orc with the +2 battle axe that is leading the group or the other one with a neckless of missiles.

Also the Robe of Stars which gives me +1 to all my saves, and allows me to as an action cast magic missile at 5th level, up to 6 times a day and regains 1d6 stars at dusk and dawn. I really like them and feel like they definitely should have a spot on this list.

Mizzium Apparatus. It's not PHB (it's Ravnica) it lets you cast any spells from your spell list as long as you have slots for it and can pass an arcana check, they don't have to be prepared or even known. It's soo good for any caster especially wizards. I would take that over any other uncommon and most rare items.
