Air Elemental Myrmidon
Harvesting Table

Instructions: Because this creature is an Elemental, the player should roll a Arcana Check using the DCs in the table below. On a success, the player is able to harvest the item. On a failure, the item cannot be harvested (either because the character is not skilled enough, or because the item is ruined). The DM should note that many of the items have an expiration, and can not be sold or used after the expiration has passed.

Crafting

DC: 15

ITEM: Elemental Air Essence (vial) DC: 15

An air elemental myrmidon can stir up dust and debris that carry trace amounts of the elementals energy. It is possible to harness this energy using an enchanted bottle to collect the air elemental's essence. Requires an enchanted vial.

Harvesting note: 20 DC if the air elemental disperses over 20 feet above the ground (spreading its essence into a wider area, making it more difficult to find).

VALUE: 100 gp

WEIGHT: 1lb.

EXPIRE: ∞

CRAFT: Elemental Gem (Blue Sapphire) (DMG)

DC: 20

ITEM: Myymidon Armor Plates DC: 20

The magical armor that binds the elemental Mymidon may be salvageable and retain some of its arcane power. These magically infused plates can sold to blacksmiths for the soft glowing metal. Alternatively, spellcasters, especially conjurers and elemental wizards, seek the plates for the residual binding magic.

VALUE: 300 gp

WEIGHT: 40lb.

EXPIRE: ∞

CRAFT: Plate Armor +1 (DMG)

Most crafting items have an acronym associated with it, such as "DMG". These acronyms refer to specific guide books. For example, "DMG" refers to the "Dungeon Master's Guide". The acronyms for HHH and HHH2 refer to Hamund's Harvesting Handbook, a homebrew harvesting guide that offers a variety of homebrew (not official) magic items.

Expiration

Many harvested goods will start to rot and decay after a period of time. Below is a quick overview of how we determine expiration dates, and is used as a guide for most harvested items. Note: It is always up to the DM to decide on the exact expiration.

Item Type

Days

Explanation

Body Part

2 days

Flesh rots and decays quickly.

Body Part, Undead

7 days

Undead body parts are already rotting, so their usefulness can last a little longer than regular flesh (which becomes useless when it rots).

Bones

∞

Bones take a very long time to decay.

Feathers

∞

Feathers take a very long time to decay.

Ears

14 days

Ears are predominantly tough cartilage (soft bone). The skin around the ears rot quickly, but the ear remains intact for some time after.

Hair

∞

Hair takes a very long time to decay.

Head

3 days

Like other flesh, it rots and decays quickly, but lasts slightly longer

Hides/Pelts

10 days

Hides/Pelts must be treated and soaks in order to retain its usefulness.

Liquid, Vial (i.e. Blood)

7 days

If contained in a stoppered vial, most fluids have a longer shelf life. However, if exposed to air, it gets ruined VERY quickly.

Liquid, Vial (i.e. Slime)

14 days

Slimes and gels tend to have a longer shelf-life than other fluids. However, if exposed to air, it gets ruined VERY quickly.

Poisons

14 days

Most poisons are viable for about 2 week. However, each poison is different. In additions, proficiency with a poisoner's kit may allow assassins the ability to extend the shelf-life every few weeks (adding other ingredients to extend the poison's usefulness)

Tattoos/Marks

5 days

Usually a strip of skin, which can be preserved with some oil to last a little longer than other flesh.

Wings

7 days

While wings contain flesh, which rots quickly, the bones and leather/feather last much longer, making the wings usefulness last longers.

1-2	% Chance: 2%	Quality: Superb	Value: 1.5×
3-5	% Chance: 3%	Quality: Almost New	Value: 1×

56-65	% Chance: 10%	Quality: Terrible Quality (cracked, warped)	Value: 0.1×
66-100	% Chance: 35%	Quality: Destroyed	Value: 0×

Creature's size and its value and weight modifiers.

Size	Weight(x)	Value(x)	Note
Tiny	Weight(x): ¼×	Value(x): ¼×	Note: Tiny creatures often carry very small weapons & armor, too small for other creature.
Small	Weight(x): 1×	Value(x): 1×	Note: Small creatures tend to use smaller standard weapons, like daggers and shortswords, but it is the DM's discretion if the items are usable or have a modified weight/value.
Medium	Weight(x): 1×	Value(x): 1×
Large	Weight(x): 1×	Value(x): 1×	Note: Large creatures tend to use larger standard weapons, like greatswords and greatclubs, but it is the DM's discretion if the items are usable or have a modified weight/value.
Huge	Weight(x): 8×	Value(x): 2×	Note: The increase in value is for the raw materials (as the items are way too large to be useful).
Gargantuan	Weight(x): 15×	Value(x): 4×	Note: The increase in value is for the raw materials (as the items are way too large to be useful).
