During your character’s downtime activity they can craft potions that show up in the DMG or homebrew potions if you have the necessary tool proficiency and components.

What can I make as an artificer?

Each Artificer has the ability to infuse a mundane item with magical properties. This represents you creating temporary magitech items that you–or one of your allies–can use. You learn a set number of “infusions” starting at four and ramping up by two every four levels until you hit 12 infusions known at 18th level.

Do artificer infusions stack?

No, they don’t. You can infuse only nonmagical items and an infusion turns an item magical.

Do +1 bonuses stack?

Yes. In general, bonuses stack, unless they’re from the same spell (see “Combining Magical Effects” in the Player’s Handbook, p. 205). You also can’t benefit from more than one ring of protection, for instance, since you can’t attune to more than one copy of an item at a time.
