Harvested Materials

A running ledger of crafting components the company has cut from slain monsters and banked for later work. Components are spent as Craft Value (CV); the harvesting rules are at Monster Harvesting.

How to read this table

For each item type, a component is one of:

  • Primary — its effect can define that item and caps the item's rarity (only Uncommon-or-better parts qualify; Common parts carry no effect).
  • Contributor — it adds CV and structure to that item but does not set the effect.
  • — not usable for that item type.

Bomb is a thrown area-of-effect consumable; it shares the single-use economy with potions and poisons. The crafting roll made at the bench sets each item's final quality, and for consumables how many you make.

The table is sortable: click a type column (e.g. Staff) to group every component that can anchor or feed it, read the Effect column to see what a primary would theme the item toward, and total the CV column against the build thresholds. CV shown is the total held (per-unit value × quantity in hand).

Session 54 harvest record — Yuan-ti Anathema (CR 12)

The Yuan-ti Anathema slain in the street at Boareskyr Bridge (Session 54) — a "very rare category" carcass, harvested in front of the whole town. One check per character; every member of the party spent Tempered Soul on the check (the DM allowed it with the long rest imminent), and Guidance was ruled usable once per group harvest — Baelgrum and Keyleth each cast it on themselves. Rarity ceiling Very Rare (DC 20); four of six totals cleared it, two exactly.

Harvester Tool Roll Recovered
Shadier Poisoner's 30 (25 + soul 5) Anathema Venom Glands (signature) (Very Rare)
Gootcha Thieves' (→ Jeweler's fine work) 27 (23 + soul 4) Gemlike Serpent Eyes (Very Rare)
Xan Alchemist's 21 (17 + soul 4) Mageward Ichor (Very Rare) + Serpent Blood
Baelgrum Smith's 20 (14 + soul 3 + Guidance 3) Anathema Scale Coat (Very Rare) + Anathema Fangs
Keyleth Navigator's 20 (14 + soul 3 + Guidance 3) Heat-Pit Clusters (Very Rare)
Karma Herbalism 17 (12 + soul 5) Antivenin Organ (Rare) + Serpent Blood

Left on the carcass: the hide (a Rare serpent-leather) — no one worked Leatherworker's Tools.

Component names and assignments were drafted in post-session processing from the totals recorded at the table (the DM: "That's for future me to figure out"). See the profile; corrections welcome.

Session 53 harvest record — Blue Dragon Wyrmlings (CR 3 ×2)

Two blue dragon wyrmlings slain in the Battle of Nuts Deep (Session 53). Two checks per character — one per carcass. The DM rolled for the absent Shadier. Rarity ceiling Uncommon (DC 10); Karma's natural 20 invoked the brand-new nat-20 rule and claimed a Rare component from beyond the ceiling.

Wyrmling A

Harvester Tool Roll Recovered
Karma Herbalism 29 (nat 20) Storm-Quickened Heart (Rare — above ceiling, nat-20 rule)
Keyleth Leatherworker's 22 Cerulean Wyrmhide
Shadier Jeweler's 18 Sapphire-Gleam Eyes (pair)
Xan Alchemist's 14 Stormspark Gland (signature) + Sparking Blood
Gootcha Thieves' (→ small-Smith's fine work) 10 Azure Scale Coat + Wyrmling Fangs & Talons

Wyrmling B

Harvester Tool Roll Recovered
Karma Alchemist's 24 Stormspark Gland (signature) + Sparking Blood

Shadier Poisoner's 23 Galvanic Ichor
Keyleth Leatherworker's 9 (+3 Guidance = 12) Cerulean Wyrmhide
Gootcha Poisoner's 10 Galvanic Ichor
Baelgrum Smith's 8 (+1 Guidance = 9) Scale Shards (scraps)

Left on the carcasses: the second Azure Scale Coat (Uncommon) — Baelgrum was the only dedicated smith and rolled an 8 on both bodies. (Guidance rulings this harvest: the DM allowed Guidance on single rolls where the caster knew the spell — Baelgrum +1 on one Smith's roll, Keyleth +3 on one Leatherworker's roll.)

Component names and assignments were drafted in post-session processing from the rolls the DM recorded at the table (the DM: "I have those recorded. I'll figure out what that means."). See the profile; corrections welcome.

Session 50 harvest record

Four creatures harvested in and around the Sea of Moving Ice: the ice-spider queen (CR 2), the Hydra (CR 8), and the Dragon Turtle (CR 17) at Deez Nuts' longship, and the ancient white dragon Arauthator (CR 20) at Oyaviggaton.

Ice Spider Queen (CR 2)

Harvester Tool Roll Recovered
Gootcha Poisoner's 24 Rimevenom Gland (signature)
Xan Alchemist's 20 Refined Frostvenom + Chilled Hemolymph
Karma Herbalism 19 Spider Antitoxin Gland
Shadier Poisoner's 17 Refined Frostvenom
Baelgrum Smith's (→ chitin) 13 Rimed Carapace Section
Keyleth Cartographer's (→ optics) 9 Single Faceted Eye

Hydra (CR 8)

Harvester Tool Roll Recovered
Shadier Poisoner's (→ toxic tissue) 26 Regrowing Hydra Flesh (signature) + Hydra Bile
Karma Herbalism 19 Regenerative Marrow
Keyleth Cartographer's (→ hide) 15 Many-layered Hide
Xan Alchemist's 10 Hydra Bile + Vital Ichor
Gootcha Poisoner's 7 Hydra Blood
Baelgrum Smith's 7 Hydra Fangs

Left on the carcass: Skull-Plates (Uncommon) — Baelgrum was the only smith and rolled low.

Dragon Turtle (CR 17)

Harvester Tool Roll Recovered
Shadier Poisoner's (→ hazardous glands) 28 Scalding Steam Gland + Brine-Blood
Karma Herbalism (→ restorative) 26 Vital Roe
Keyleth Cartographer's (→ Navigator's) 24 Stormcaller's Lens + Tide-Sense Organ
Keyleth Leatherworker's (extra roll) 16 Leviathan Hide (Rare)
Baelgrum Smith's 24 (nat 20) Titan Carapace (Legendary) + Shell-Plate (Very Rare) + Beak & Claws (Rare)
Gootcha Poisoner's 13 Rendered Steam-Bile
Xan Alchemist's 12 Brine Concentrate

Left on the carcass: only the Gizzard Pearls (Rare) — no one worked Jeweler's Tools. Baelgrum's natural 20 was ruled to claim the Legendary Titan Carapace despite the total falling one short of DC 25.

Arauthator — Ancient White Dragon (CR 20)

Old White Death was a carcass vast enough to work at every station at once, so Karma and Baelgrum each cut several parts. DCs are by rarity, per the ladder.

Component Tool Rarity (DC) Harvester Roll Result
Rimeforged Heart (signature) Alchemist's Very Rare (20) Karma 22 Yielded — eaten by Xanphina (permanent boon); not banked
Breath Gland (Frost Sac) Alchemist's Very Rare (20) Karma 23 Recovered — 1 sac (3–4 doses)
Heartfrost Residue Alchemist's Rare (15) Karma 17 Recovered — 2–3 pinches
Glacial Eyes Alchemist's Rare (15) Karma 23 Recovered — 2 eyes
Sluggish Blood Alchemist's Common (5) Karma 20 Recovered — 6 vials
Cryogland Bile Alchemist's Rare (15) Karma 12 None — missed the Rare DC
Horn & Frill Smith's Very Rare (20) Baelgrum 22 Recovered — 2 horns + frill
Glacial Scales Smith's Rare (15) Baelgrum 22 Recovered — 1 hide's worth
Talon Hooks Smith's Rare (15) Baelgrum 21 Recovered — 8 claws
Frostfang Teeth Smith's Uncommon (10) Baelgrum 23 Recovered — 6 fangs
Tail Vertebrae Smith's Common (5) Baelgrum 21 Recovered — 6 bones
Frost-Tanned Hide Leatherworker's Rare (15) Keyleth 22 Recovered — 1 hide
Wing Membrane Leatherworker's Uncommon (10) Xanphina 19 Recovered — 2 membranes
Gizzard Stones Scavenge Common (5) Keyleth 13 Recovered — 2 stones

Only the Cryogland Bile was lost; the Rimeforged Heart was recovered but consumed rather than banked.

Tool mappings for the longship harvests, and Keyleth's extra Leatherworker's roll on the Dragon Turtle, were one-time allowances — the column rules were settled only after the fight, and the party should not lose materials to rules made afterward. Future harvests follow the standard columns, one check per character.
