I've recently curated a list of common magical items that I think are the best for their category. Common magical items are often overlooked by higher level players, but starting out at level 1, these items can mean the difference between life or death. What is your favorite common magic item and why?
Veteran's cane is disappointing because it turns into a non-magic weapon and can't be turned back into a cane. It is a consumable magic item that gives you an non-magic item forth 10% it's value.
Pole of Collapsing. I cannot tell you how many character I lost back in the day because of traps. Now, every PC I make carries no less than a backpack, bedroll, blanket, tinderbox, mess kit, 10 torches, 10 days rations, 2 waterskins, a rope, and a Pole of Collapsing. I call that their “Amex Equipment” because they never leave home without it.

I really like ruby of the war mage for gish characters.

Pole of collapsing is great for looking for traps. Potion of comprehension, because sometimes really important info is in a different language.
