Note: This variant causes players that start at level 2 or 3 to have less loot then normal.
Disclaimer: I like the simplicity of the 4e WBL system, since it allows quick character creation. However, at the same time a character who actually accumulates loot from adventurers will have a much greater amount of loot overall. This Variant therefore allows more in depth treasure spending.
The following table contains character level; WBL according to Item+1, Item, Item-1, Gold of Item-1; And how much loot a character will of accumulated by that level (Per character, based on 5 people).

There is a rather huge deficient in gear at higher levels, and this variant will attempt to fix this.

When using this table, a player may not buy an Item of a level greater than their level +2. A Player should consider to at least get a Neck slot item, an Armor, and a Weapon.
Sub Variant: Maximum Amount of Items by Level
This Sub-Variant is best used if the group decides to figure out who has what together.
For a full 5 person group, The entire group may have no more of an item of a specific level then:
Number available for the group = -(Item Level - Character Level) + 4
or
Number available for the group = Character Level - Item Level + 4
So no-one may start with an item of your level +4, One person may start with an item of your level +3, Two may start with items of your level +2, three may start with items of your level +1, etc.
