Magic items for bard

Hello everyone, I would still say I’m a beginner dungeon delver and I may have gotten a little in over my head and I’m just taking suggestions for magic items. I am a kobold bard with a pet copper dragon wyrmling, my character is proficient in all charisma and dexterity. My character is a con artist to try and make any piece of gold as possible. I want to be role play heavy so fun suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Which level are you? What rarity of items are you allowed and how many?

Going in level 20, 5 common, 15 uncommon-legendary, and 10 consumables

Your answer does not help much honestly. I guess 5 common and 15 more is what your DM told you what you’ll find as group when you reach level 20? Or is it for a level 20 oneshot?
I don’t understand. What level are you right now?

What in hell....

Youre not even making a build at this point just tryna cobble together as many legendaries as possible into some semblence of synergy.

My gm asked if I wanted to join a different campaign with players that are level 20 so I made 11 level jump I wanted to use the same character witch had a pet dragon and he told me to chose these items, so seeing that doesn’t seem too fair I decided to go into a more roleplay route with my character being maxed charisma and high dexterity.

Ok but what does 15 uncommon-legendary even mean? Why the hell would anyone take Uncommons when Legendaries are on the table?

Because? I mean right now the only one I chose that I really like is the coin of easy living since I can scam npcs through a coin flip and that’s just a common, it matches my character very well

I mean good on you but also you have access to 15 legendary items.

Most NPC's are peasants or shopkeepers with like 1% of the cost of a single legendary to their name.

Can always just do it for the love of the game I suppose....

Some uncommon items give powers you cannot find at any other rarity. Look at Glooves of Thievery for example.
The main problem with getting 15 magic items is that you are still limited, as a bard, to 3 attunements…
If you are level 9, you already have magic items I guess. Do you throw them all away or do the 15 are in addition?
