I would have liked to have seen more artifacts and perhaps a wider variety of common items that players could pick up. I've had my wizard ask me numerous times how much does it cost for a empty scroll case and things of that nature. It definitely helps out martially, though. For the more mundane, nonmagical equipment items, I went back to the old tables. Still worth having, though. And I definitely agree that you really only need 1, maybe 2 if a large group, of these books at the table at most. I really like the Adventurer’s Vault and glad I picked it up.

So many OMGWANT! items in there. I think it would be really fun to run a game where each player was allowed to pimp their character out with whatever they wanted (within a level range).

They aren't on PHB also: because they are not "equipment". They are tools for crafting a story. But I think 4E really gave less atention to artifacts than should have been: they are more like relics than artifacts, have less story, and there are too few (considering the DMG is the smaller basic book). I liked the first concept for 4E magic itens much better than the final system: there should be very few of them, but they should be awesome, and still not have many different powers... Maybe that's why I liked Weapons of Legacy so much. The itens weren't allways so interessant, the system of rituals was not so good, but the idea of having a single powerful magic item with a story the players must reveal was great.
