It makes every tool proficiency feel useful. If you desire magical clothing that enables you to better blend in with shadows, you better have weavers tools. If you want to craft magical boots that let you fall from great heights, you need cobbler’s tools. That leaves many other tools left by the wayside. I have only ever seen smith’s tools, alchemist supplies, healers hit, and tinkerer’s tools used. The downside to many 5e tools is that they get used. In the 5th edition, there are many tools you can gain access to. If you want specific components, all you need to do is come up with the names and classify them with a rarity. I will tell you the tools needed to make the items and what rarity of ingredients you need but not the actual names. They go really in-depth with specific ingredients and processes. There are a few guides out there that do a great job with rules about crafting in certain areas. I took things they did from both and combined them into this guide. These two, however, contradict themselves, meaning you need to choose one or the other in your game.
Wizards of the Coast tried to add crafting rules in both the DMG and Xanathars Guide to Everything. In this article, I will cover some parts of it, explaining my thought process. You can click this link to access the whole ruleset. I used GM Binder which I discussed it here. Luckily 5e has the fantastic ability to be homebrewed to make anything you need. The ability to make the items your party needs instead of relying on luck to find them in a stall is always useful. One of the aspects that were removed was the crafting system.
However, many aspects existing players have come to know and love were removed to do this. D&D 5th edition does many great things to make the game more straightforward and more approachable for new people getting into the game.
