D&D 5E (2024) [Eberron, 5th Edition] A comparison of the 2020 Tasha's Artificer to the 2025 Forge of the Artificer

Fashions are not tied to magic or technology level. People can dress how you like whenever you like.

Aside from Eberron, the other place you are likely to find a lot of artificers is Calimshan, where you can assume they wear fantasy-Persian outfits.

I was thinking specifically the Eberron artwork not artificers in general. In Calimshan you have both clockwork creations but also just pure magical item crafters with no tech like influences. Moonshae or Rahaman will use carved staffs, stone, earth or wooden golems, charms and trinkets.

Also don't forget your Tech priest of Gond, the tinker gnomes of Mount nevermind which are more of a medieval mad scientist. Izzet from Ravnica

They can craft it at 6th level.

Technically anyone can craft it at 1st level with 200 gold and 10 days of downtime, as long as they have Tinker Tool proficiency (automatic for Artificer) and Arcana proficiency (which should be an automatic pick for any Artificer)

But it tends to correlate.

No, they don’t. Try looking at non-Western cultures.

They can craft it at 6th level. Why should 14th level be the byline, in your opinion?

I love Pipes of Haunting at 6th level, it's a staple of Artificer Tank builds. I only asked to see if it was still on the 6th level list, or got swept under the higher level "any wondrous item" umbrella.

Personally, as a DM I would tell them to use woodcarver's tools because that makes more thematic sense rules be dammed.
