Hamund's Harvesting Handbook: Volume 3

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Welcome dear reader to Hamund’s Harvesting Handbook Volume 3, written by your favorite harvesting mentor: Hamund Holderhek!

I do apologise for my prolonged absence and the delay in producing this entry in the Harvesting Handbook series. Unfortunately, several events befell me recently that prevented me from finishing this book in a timely manner. These events include, but are not limited to: abduction by the Demon Lords of the Abyss, foiling a Shadowfell incursion, going undercover into duergar society, investigating a spree of curious star spawn appearances, and a rather eventful tea time with a close acquaintance.

But the important thing is that the book is here now, and I must say that it is some of my finest work. Not only have I covered the gamut of newly discovered creatures to harvest, but my travels have brought me into contact with ancient artefacts, more people that need harvesting help, and several new schools of combat and magic that incorporate our venerable art into their practices.

I implore you to enjoy this labor of love, dear reader. The knowledge in this book has been compiled under very trying circumstances, but it is all worth it in the pursuit of furthering our beloved craft. Inside, you will learn how to strip a skulk, melt down a marut, and hollow out a howler! Learn how to craft the spoils of your hunts into powerful weapons, channel the power of fiend lords into artefacts, and even find how to incorporate harvesting into every aspect of your being. Ours is an ever-expanding field, and I am so incredibly grateful to be with you every step of the way.

 Good luck and good harvesting,

- Sir Hamund Holderhek, O.B.H. (First Class), V.Ad., N.Ki.P.

 

P.S. Some of you may be wondering where I will go from here, considering the discovery of new monsters seems to have dried up recently. Well, without getting too far into it, I will mention that I have become very interested in herbalism as of late...

P.P.S. For more on my adventures, especially the tea time, see “Hamund’s Heroic Hardboileds I-XXIV.”

---------------------

This is the follow-up to the ADAMANTINE and MITHRAL bestselling books Hamund's Harvesting Handbook and Hamund's Harvesting Handbook: Volume 2, covering the monsters featured in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. As before, this book aims to act as a handy reference for DM’s with loot hungry players that just want to carve up anything they have killed. This volume covers the monsters included in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, and as before, features a complete harvesting list for each monster, as well as over 130 new magical items to craft.

The rules for harvesting and crafting are unchanged, but this book does add a few more interesting pieces to add to your harvesting adventures. Premiering in this book are artifacts, new rules for the artificer class, and a new harvesting-based subclass for each of the original PHB classes.

Hi there, I noticed there's a reference to an artifact: "The Talisman of the Prince of Beasts." But there isn't any stats for it across any of these books. Is it present somewhere and I simply missed it, or was that content omitted?

Will there be a bundle of all three volumes or even everything from Hamund?
What are the main differences between these and the Monster Loot Collection by Anne Gregersen?

I might make a bundle at some point but its not for a while. The main difference is the coverage - I believe Anne's only goes by creature type rather than by book.

Is this Volume and Volume 2 usable in Fantasy Grounds Unity like Volume 1 is?

The spells that are listed in the subclasses don’t have any descriptions: Like Kamunds Harvesting Hands, Recompisition, Identify vitals, or cold storage. Where can I find these spell descriptions?

So I don't know if anyone has pointed it out yet. But you might want to look over the cleric domain

I know that you mentioned that it would be a while before you make a vlolume containing the monsters from books outside of the core 3 bestiary books that were out at the time, but do the updates to the various monsters in Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse change anything regarding the materials in your opinion?

Love all three of them, I even printed/binded them myself for easier at table use.
I hope you consider Volume 4 for the recent additions and the soon to be released Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the multiverse.

Hey, I love this series! I just bought all 3 of them and I can't wait to finally have answers for my players expectations to loot every godamn creature on this plane :D
I wanted to ask though, if there is like a high quality print version for printing in a shop or so? I really love having DND books to browse through but most shops or online providers require pdfs with some buffer space on the sides of the pages and i feel that white borders would not do these great books justice.

Do you plan to continue this series with newer books like the new ravenloft book?

Hey, I've made great useage of the books during the campaigns that I run, and am going to be playing a Harvester character myself in a friend's campaign, but I've got a question. In the section of the material that lists the weight, is that the total weight of all of the units of the material put together? Or is it the weight per unit?

Hey thanks for the support!

If an item has a specific number like x3 or x4 then the weight is per unit. If it's something like (bag) out (small pouch) then it's for the whole pouch/bag

Awesome, thanks for the info. One more thing: would Hamund's Harvesting Hands be able to harvest materials that need spirit paper? Or would you have to make the Wisdom (Religion) check seperately still?

Wait, so does that mean that the Plane Blocking Ichor from the Astral Dreadnought weighs 5,000 lbs per gallon? Or is is 5,000 lbs for all of it together, adding up to 10 lbs per gallon (which makes more sense, but doesn't seem to fit what you explained)?

I just discovered these books and adored Volume 1 so much I immediately bought 2 and 3. I can't wait to dig in! I have a player in CoS who loves skinning and harvesting everything she can. This'll let me give her some actual stuff for it! I am curious (and I know it *just* came out so long ways off if so) do you plan on doing another one for Van Richtens?

I'll probably do all the miscellaneous creatures in one book at some point, but its probably quite a ways off

Hey, I loved Vol. 1 and 2, just getting Vol. 3 now. I was wondering if you had added items/spells etc to DND Beyond at all as homebrew and under what name so I could add them easily into my Homebrew World.
Thanks and looking forward to Vol 4

Those are actually included in Volume 2 of this series. If you don't have access to it, feel free to change the spells to something else your DM feels appropriate

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
