So I'm a 2lv cleric and was wondering how to and or if I can buy a herbalist kit and train on how to use it ? And or if it's worth the time ? I would like to make healing potions with it and or anything else that is good

Ask your DM if you can swap your background for 'Hermit'. Otherwise, many, many days of downtime and gold pieces. I don't know the procedure for making healing potions, anti-toxins and other remedies, so I don't know. But I'm taking it because a healing oriented cleric should know his way around an herbalist kit.

No, potions take, per the rules, ten days to make and only saves you 25 gold.

 

The way crafting works currently is that it takes 1 day per 5 gp value of the item and half the value of the item for raw materials.

I have a question, does that mean that healing potions are not considered magic items?  For Adventurer's League, you can only create non-magical items, but it seems that the only the herbalism kit is required to make a healing potion... 

 

Should this question be asked in the AL thread too?  I am planning to use this kit in both AL and home game...
