It has more details on crafting than the video on crafting did. According to the article it takes 75 days with help to craft a set of plate armor.

I think that this looks awesome.

That sounds suspiciously simulationist! Can’t be doing with these things taking real world times, it should be possible to make plate armor in an hour with nothing but a crafting bench and and iron ingot!

Ok, so sounds like the same crafting system as the 2014 PHB, but working in intervals of 10 gp per day instead of 5, so everything takes half as long? That’s perfectly fine by me. I was worried it was going to be horribly overwrought, but keeping it the same basic system and just making it faster means everyone can continue using whatever house rules or 3rd party overhauls they did before, with no fear that they’re messing up an important element of a carefully-balanced, interconnected set of subsystems. Hooray for backwards compatibility!

Candles being made with herbalist’s tools is a bit odd.

The 20% discount on purchases in confirmed and even the article's author is lightly ironic about it...

What would you use to make candles?
You really don’t need much in the way of tools, but you do need to be able to collect the Ingredients - beeswax or tallow, and a suitable fibre for the wick. 5e has its strange division of skills and tool proficiency. And “collecting natural ingredients” is lumped into herbalist tool proficiency.

Personally I'd go with Alchemist's Supplies.
