Sorry, no citation right now as Iīm on my mobile and that is a chore. If needed, I can do that when I come home.

The rules on the DMG/SRD are quite clear on this topic, though: If you donīt find the answer in the rules, refer either to "our" reality or the specific campaign setting you use and go from there.

Using those rules only lets us generate NPC up to a certain level and thatīs it. If we use the aforementioned guidelines, "someone needs to create it so we can buy it", then there is a very specific cap on what is available before we have to find it or create it ourselves.
