Availabilities typically range from 1 to 6, but circumstances can push them up to 9.

Availability Table

RATING	CIRCUMSTANCES
1	These items can be found just about anywhere. If you’re in a relatively civilized area, just walk a few blocks, and you’ll find a place that sells this.
2	These items are a bit more specialized, but that mainly means you’ll have to seek out a store that focuses on this type of merchandise, rather than finding it in your local Stuffer Shack or whatever.
3	These are starting to be boutique items, the type of things aficionados seek out, or things that are made in relatively small batches. They’re not the rarest items, but they’re also not sitting in a ton of stores across the sprawl.
4	Now we’re getting into specialty markets. These are things not intended for mass markets, and their specialized function isn’t for everyone. Few people in any given sprawl carry them, and their supplies are limited.
5	True specialty items. These may be collector’s items or things deliberately made for a niche audience, but they are not at all easy to find.
6	These are quite rare, often hand-crafted items. Small workshops and specialty manufacturers make them, and you’ll never find them at a major retailer. Work hard, and you might track a by-appointment seller who will sell you one.
7	These items are not available off-the-rack. They are specially ordered and custom-made.
8	Same as 7, but you have to make an appointment to order one, and you may be subjected to a background check based on whatever obscure criteria the manufacturer has decided to assemble.
9	The most rare items money can buy—you just have to find the person who will take your cash. Owning one of these marks you as a member of the elite, and selling one of them brings in extra cash due to their scarcity.

So the highest Availability is 9.

Ok so thats a hard cap. Thank you.

In SR5 the cap was rating 6. But yeah good one for needing errata.

Note that gear above availability 9 exists.

Maybe as a macguffin for the runners to acquire, but no runner should own such gear.

Asides from Strength 2+11 Cyberlimbs (Availability 11 even without adding grade), Seven-7 has an Availability of 10(I).

[CigarSmoker]

Fun fact:
the table in attachment is only in the current Errata. Its nowhere to be found in the updated book. So i am not sure why it is not included.

If they wanted to block Seven-7 for start 7(I) would have been enough.

You could now further argue that a Cyberlimb with higher than 9 Avail does not exist.


In this situation I have the feeling most groups will have problems "mixing" together with others at the moment, thats kind of a big deal if you autosoft is rating 6, 9 or endless for example. For now i will use 9 as autosoft cap.

[Michael Chandra]

I would use 6 if I were you, like it was in SR4 and SR5 for max ratings you could buy.

The errata file added the table because it was missing from the book.

The errata file added the table because it was missing from the book.

In my book version everything from the Errata File is included. The first exception i found is the 2 tables with Toxins. Neverwind its at the end of the book.
