My DM is letting me use UA Craft Points because his campaigns are typically fast paced and we both agreed that the Artificer's need for crafting time might bog the game down. Anyways, I have a fellow PC who is freaking out right now because one of their NPC friends has been infected by one of our DM's notoriously fast acting, Homebrew Poisons. So I looked at the Craft Point system to see if I could instantly make a Neutralize Poison Potion. Well, it says that the fastest the Craft Point System can make an item is a single day. The point is that Potions only take a day of work anyway. So, why the hell would you want to spend Craft Points on Potions? Where's the benefit? Am I missing something? They even translate a potion's price via Craft Points in the Sample Crafted Items Table on page 98. Why?

Is this an editing error in which WOTC overlooked their own rules or am I missing something specific that makes Craft Points still useful in regards to Potion Brewing?

You're actually not any worse off than you were without Craft Points but hey! you can make a +5 vorpal flaming burst icy shock longsword in ONE day now!!!!!! :) To be consistent, you have to use Craft Points with potions too...
