How to craft items
Crafting has a base cost of materials, time investment, crafting station, and a crafting skill requirement. Some items may have a rare crafting material or level requirement. When a character spends one week of downtime crafting, they make 150 gp worth of goods for half the price. If the crafter’s room is at the masterwork level, the discount is 60%. Items made with kits have no discount.
The week is spent sourcing and purchasing materials as well as crafting. Under most crafting skills, there is a “Weekly Kit” that allows crafters to just “purchase” a base kit that can be made in one week. This is to make crafting quicker at the table.

Harvested Recipes
Harvested poisons (poisons and venoms taken from monsters and creatures) still have a cost to distill and craft, so the 20 gp per dose is still applicable, though they have no further costs.
Example:
Xyla and her friends defeated a wyvere. She spent the time harvesting venom from its tail stingers, which makes a rare poison worth 3000 gp. She can take that venom back to her hideout and craft one dose for 20 gp. She may then keep it for her own use or sell it for 3000 gp, which is quite a profit. The amount of venom or poison extracted from a beast is up to the SG, which may be one, two, or ten doses.

Specialty Items
These are the basic rules for crafting. Crafting other items should be agreed upon between
Player and GM.
An example would be siege weapons. They do not fit in any category, so the adventurers might all team up to build different parts. If three heroes used blacksmithing, leatherwork, and carpentry, they could build a lightMana per Level: Varies Casting Time: 1 Standard Action Range... More catapult (500 gp retail cost) in one week. They could build a medium catapult (700 gp retail cost) in two weeks. With an additional two crafter allies, they could build a medium catapult in a single week.
