My three main takeaways from PT's discussion, though, are these:1. The idea of a wizard crafting through short rests and while riding a horse is silly and just wouldn't fly at my table. YMMV but I cannot believe that is what's intended, and there is no need for it to be allowed. 2. The assistants have to be able to craft the item themselves: a legendary item's prep can't be halved by having a villager bringing you coffee from time to time (or even all the time). I don't know if the rules are going to be clearer on "assistants", but it seems reasonable that  they need to be capable of making the item on their own. Two people crafting an item together and taking half the time is fine. Significantly, this kind of doubling up is not allowed for scrolls, which has some spillover effects.3. I think there are, as a result, wider economic implications for the crafting of scrolls. High level scrolls are a substantial investment of somebody's time, and I don't think there's going to be a lot of wizards sitting around writing scrolls. Even if they want to invest their time making things for others to use, their time is much better spent making magic items.</blockquote>
