Common Recipe Basics

Using a Recipe

An asterisk (*) next to a recipe means that the item is not an official item in D&D. The cost of a recipe includes any mundane ingredients and equipment, which are assumed to be included with the appropriate tool. Ingredients specifically listed are considered to be 1 unit (such as flowers, bunches, or vials) unless otherwise specified.

Starting recipes

When you gain a tool proficiency, you learn 3 Common recipes associated with the tool. In order to gain a new tool proficiencies beyond those granted as part of your normal character development, you can spend 1d4 tendays with someone already possessing the proficiency. You pay them 1gp/day for your training, at the end of which you can add proficiency with the tool to your DNDBeyond character and gain the starting recipes. The time spent training does not need to be continuous, so it can be done between adventures.

Learning new Recipes when Leveling

When your proficiency bonus increases, you can add a new recipe to your recipes known. This recipe must be of an appropriate level or lower, as indicated by the Discovering Recipes Table below. If the player gets a higher proficiency bonus, they can instantly learn a new recipe without any cost or time investment.
This also happens retroactively when becoming proficient with the tool after obtaining a higher proficiency bonus.

Proficiency Bonus Recipe Level

• +2 Common

• +3 Uncommon

• +4 Uncommon

• +5 Rare

• +6 Very Rare

Learning new Recipes

When you come across a new recipe, you add it to your recipes known. Doing so requires time and money spent in experimentation, as indicated by the Recipes Table below.
Learning a new recipe always succeeds, but does not result in any product.

Recipe Level, Time, & Cost to make/sale range

• Common 1 workday 50 gp/50-100 gp

• Uncommon 5 workdays 100 gp/101-500 gp

• Very Rare 3 tendays 1,000 gp/1,000-5,000 gp

Note that the cost to make a recipe is on top of the cost of the listed ingredients. It includes secret ingredients known only to practitioners that, while always be available, must be purchased every time. If you have the listed ingredients, you can subtract their sale price from the cost to make the recipe.

Gathering & Harvesting

Rules for Identifying (Gathering)

Certain areas may contain certain harvestable plants, fungi or, rarely, animals. To determine what good can be found in areas, make a nature check. If the check is:

• ≥10 all common plants and fungi bound to that environment are identified

• ≥15 all common and uncommon plants and fungi bound to that environment are identified

• ≥20 all common, uncommon and rare plants and fungi bound to that environment are identified

The DM can decide to be more or less lenient depending on the area, a lush jungle may contain more interesting herbs and fungi than a windswept dessert, after all.
Inspecting an area to make the nature check takes 30 minutes. If the DM allows it, a +3 can be added to the check for each additional 30 minutes spent on investigating the area to a maximum of +6. The player can repeatedly search an area without repercussions on the amount of ingredients obtained from an area.

Rules for Harvesting

Once a herb or fungi is identified and the player is proficient with the herbalism kit, they can throw a d20 and add their proficiency bonus and their Potion Making Level modifier (See final page) to that throw to determine if they can harvest the ingredient. Harvesting an ingredient takes 30 minutes. If the DM allows it, a +3 can be added to the check for each additional 30 minutes spent on gathering the ingredient to a maximum of +6. The player must decide beforehand how long they want to spent on harvesting the ingredient.

If the player fails to harvest an ingredient, a d4 is thrown. On a:

• 1: the ingredient is destroyed

• 2: the quantity of the ingredient is reduced by half

• 3: the quantity of the ingredient is reduced by a quarter

• 4: the ingredient is unaffected

Obtaining animal based ingredients doesn’t require proficiency with the associated kit, but must have access to the kit, though doing so provides the player with a -3 modifier instead of the proficiency modifier when the player is proficient with the kit. If the DM allows it, a +3 can be added to the check for each additional 30 minutes spent on harvesting the ingredient to a maximum of +6. A player is always proficient with a knife. The player must state the ingredient they are trying to harvest. If they are not aware of what to look for, they will not find it.
Attempting to harvest the ingredients can be done only once, failure results in the destruction of all harvestable ingredients.

Potion Crafting (applies across Alchemy, Herbalism, Poisoning)

When the player has gathered all required potion ingredients, tools and recipes and decides to make a certain potion or other product with one of their kits, the player must spend the required amount of gold (determined by the rarity of the product), as well as the number of workdays working on their project. The workdays don’t have to be subsequent and can be broken down further into single hours of work, with each workday is lasting 8 hours. If the DM allows it, the player may spent more than 8 hours a day working on their project. The player is allowed to spent their long rest working on their project if they are under the influence of items like Midnight oil or features like the warlock's Aspect of the moon. Progress done this way is at half the normal rate.
After the player has spent the required time working on the potion, they roll a d20, add their proficiency and their Potion Making Level modifier (See next page) to the total. If the player makes the check, the product is successfully completed. If the player fails the check, they are allowed to recover the ingredients, though lose the gold invested.

Pricing Guide

The total cost of a potion is predetermined. The price of an ingredient is subtracted from that total depending on the rarity of that ingredient. All additional costs in gp are subtracted once potion making is commenced.
If a potion making Check is failed, the original ingredients are returned, though gold spent is lost.

Ingredient Rarity Cost

• Common 5gp

• Uncommon 10gp

• Rare 50gp

• Very Rare 150gp

• Legendary 500gp

Potion Making Level System

Practice makes perfect. This also goes for the art of potion crafting.
Each time a player identifies or successfully gathers an ingredient, learns a new recipe outside of improving their proficiency bonus or successfully completes a product an amount of Potion Making Exp. is awarded according to rarity and quantity. The values of those are depicted in the table below. A player's Potion Making level is general and applies equally to each of the three kits. Note: Be sure to maintain a record in your character sheet of your current level and experience along with the recipes you know and the ingredients you have.

Experience Gains

• Identify - Common 5, Uncommon 10, Rare 20, Very Rare 20, Legendary 40

• Gather - Common 2, Uncommon 8, Rare 12, Very Rare 20, Legendary 40

• Produce - Common 80, Uncommon 200, Rare 750, Very Rare 2000, Legendary 3000

• Learn Recipe - Common 60, Uncommon 150, Rare 500, Very Rare 1500, Legendary 2250

As an example, when a player investigates an area, they get a reward for each herb ingredient identified, based on rarity. No experience reward is obtained from identifying animals. A player can only receive experience once for identifying an herb. Subsequent investigation can be performed to find rarer ingredients, awarding experience to the player only for newly identified ingredients. So, if the player identifies Gillyweed, Red Aminata Mushrooms and Singing Nettles during the same investigation, they receive 5 + 5 + 10 = 20 Exp. If the player investigates the area again, rolls higher and identifies Gillyweed, Red Aminata Mushrooms, Singing nettles, Hagfinger and Moonstalker, the player receives an additional 20 + 20 = 40 Exp.
Once a player has identified ingredients and successfully collects them, they get a reward for each unit of that ingredient acquired, based on rarity. So, if a player successfully harvests 4 vials of Purple Worm Poison, they receive 4 * 40 = 160 Exp.
The player can also obtain Potion Making Exp. for learning new recipes and producing potions or other products, depending on rarity. Recipes can only be learned once (the recipe learning process is described on page 2). No Exp. Is awarded to recipes learned via character leveling.

Potion making modifier

Once the player has reached a certain Exp. value, they level up their potion making abilities to a maximum of level 10. Each level above level 1 provides a cumulative +1 to check made to determine if a potion was made successfully.

• Lvl. 1 - Requires 0 experience +0 Bonus

• Lvl. 2 - Requires 150 experience +1Bonus

• Lvl. 3 - Requires 450 experience +2 Bonus

• Lvl. 4 - Requires 900 experience +3 Bonus

• Lvl. 5 - Requires 1500 experience +4 Bonus

• Lvl. 6 - Requires 2250 experience +5 Bonus

• Lvl. 7 - Requires 3150 experience +6 Bonus

• Lvl. 8 - Requires 4200 experience +7 Bonus

• Lvl. 9 - Requires 5400 experience +8 Bonus

• Lvl. 10 - Requires 6750 experience +9 Bonus
