Creation of these items costs 25 gp, in addition to the ingredients listed, and 1 workday of time.
Alchemist's Fire
This sticky, adhesive fluid ignites when exposed to air. As an action, you can throw this flask up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. Make a ranged Attack against a creature or object, treating the alchemist's fire as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 fire damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a DC 10 Dexterity check to extinguish the flames.
Ingredients. Fire Elemental Ember, X Oil
Potion of Climbing
When you drink this potion, you gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed for 1 hour. During this time, you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks you make to climb. The potion is separated into brown, silver, and gray layers resembling bands of stone. Shaking the bottle fails to mix the colors.
Ingredients. Giant Wolf Spider Hair, Earth Elemental Dust
Potion of Swimming *
When you drink this potion, you gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed for 1 hour. During this time, you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks you make to swim.

Smokebomb
As an action, you can throw this smokebomb up to 30 feet away from you. On impact, smoke begins to billow from it, creating a heavily obscured area within a 10 foot radius and a lightly obscured area for a further 5 feet. This smoke dissipates after 1 minute, or until it is blown away by some external means.
Ingredients. Air Elemental Whisp
Vial of Acid
As an action, you can splash the contents of this vial onto a creature within 5 feet of you or throw the vial up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact.

Applying the oil takes 10 minutes. The affected creature then gains the effect of a freedom of movement spell for 8 hours.

Potion of Growth
When you drink this potion, you gain the "enlarge" effect of the enlarge/reduce spell for 1d4 hours (no concentration required).
