Alchemy Jug
- Dungeon Master’s Guide (2024), p. 227
- Item on DnD Beyond
This jug is fancy and especially useful for – well, alchemists. And cooks. And sailors. And rogues who want to cause mischief – and probably also courtesans. So it is, in principle, somewhat versatile, but it can’t do much that is fundamentally useful, except pour various liquids.
With the jug, you can choose one of the following liquids once a day and pour out about 8 liters per minute: water, beer, honey, oil, vinegar, fresh water, salt water, wine, acid, basic poison, and MAYONNAISE. The maximum amount of liquid depends on the type chosen. Once you start pouring, you cannot select another liquid for that day, so choose wisely.
Dust of Dryness
- Dungeon Master’s Guide (2024), p. 255
- Item on DnD Beyond
This dust makes water dry and comes in 1d6+4 portions in a small, handy packet. With an action, you can sprinkle one of these portions on water that theoretically fits in a 15-foot cube.
When you do this, you turn the previously existing water into a dry, marble-sized pellet that you can easily pocket. With another action, you can throw the dry piece of water against a hard surface and turn it back into water.
This also works with water elementals that are within a maximum distance of 5 feet (approximately 152 cm) from you. If you throw this dust on them, they must succeed on a Constitution saving throw of 13, otherwise, they take 10d6 necrotic damage – or half if they succeed. This is a bit more useful; nonetheless, the dust may not seem so useful at first glance as it might appear in practice.
However, far more useful than these items are artifacts, which often represent a great goal in many campaigns. They are extremely powerful, and there is usually only one of each.
