One crafting system for fifth edition (2024 rules), built on three sources:
- Nord Games – where ingredients are found (environment, climate, place) and which parts creatures yield.
- Heliana’s Guide to Monster Hunting (Loot Tavern) – harvesting as a team effort (the method, not the parts).
- The 2024 fifth-edition rules – prices and times.
The core idea in one line
Ingredients are empty vessels. Their grade decides how much magic potential (MP) they can hold. Characters charge MP into them, and a finished item has exactly the MP that was charged into it. Its value is 2 × MP.
Tools at the table
| Tool | Use it when … |
|---|---|
| What’s Here | the party is somewhere and you want to know what grows there in this climate and season |
| Harvest Tool | the party has slain a creature and wants to know what they can carve from it |
| Charging Calculator | you need to know how long it takes to charge an item |
| Recipe Builder | you build a recipe card and want to check grades and capacity |
