Overview

ScryMarket gives you multiple ways to create items: a fast inline form for mid-session needs, a full editor for detailed homebrew, AI generation for instant inspiration, and forking to customize existing marketplace content. This guide covers all of them.

Quick Create

Quick Create is an inline form inside the Item Picker — designed for speed when you need a new item right now.

Web

1. Open the party inventory page
2. Click the + button on any container header to open the Item Picker
3. Click Quick Create Item at the bottom of the sheet
4. Fill in the fields:

Field	Required	Description
Name	Yes	The item name (e.g., “Flaming Longsword”)
Description	No	Flavor text or mechanics
Game System	Yes	Defaults to your party’s system
Rarity	No	Common, Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, Legendary, or Artifact (optional — leave blank for no rarity)
Value	No	Base value in gold pieces
Weight	No	Weight in pounds

5. Click Create & Add to save the item and add it to the container immediately, or Create Only to save it to your collection for later use

Discord

/add item:Flaming Longsword

If no marketplace match is found, the bot creates a custom item with default values and adds it to your active character’s inventory.

Full Item Editor

The full editor gives you complete control over every aspect of an item. Access it from My Content > Items > Create Item on the web, or click Open full editor at the bottom of the Quick Create form.

All Fields

Field	Description
Name	Item name (required, up to 200 characters)
Description	Flavor text, lore, and game mechanics (up to 5,000 characters)
Game System	D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, or Draw Steel
Visibility	Private (only you), Unlisted (anyone with the link), or Public (marketplace)
Rarity	Common, Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, Legendary, or Artifact (optional — leave blank for unclassified items)
Weight	Weight in pounds (for D&D 5e and Draw Steel)
Bulk Category	Negligible, Light, or a numeric value 1—99 (for Pathfinder 2e only — replaces Weight)
Base Value	Value in gold pieces
Stack Size	How many fit in one inventory slot (default 1; set higher for consumables like arrows or potions)
Tags	Descriptive labels for search and filtering (at least one required)
Image	Upload your own art or generate an AI image

Tags

Tags make your items discoverable in the marketplace and help you organize your collection. Type a tag and press Enter or comma to add it.

Good tags describe what the item is and how it is used:

Tag Category	Examples
Type	weapon, armor, consumable, wondrous-item, currency
Subtype	sword, potion, ring, shield, scroll
Theme	fire, undead, nature, mechanical, divine
Source	homebrew, srd, campaign-specific

Stack Size

Stack size determines how many identical items fit in a single inventory slot:

Item Type	Typical Stack Size	Why
Weapons, armor	1	One item per slot
Longsword, staff	1—3	Main weapon + spares
Potions	5—10	One belt pouch
Arrows, bolts	20	One quiver
Currency (gold)	1,000	Quality-of-life exception

Think of stack size as “what is reasonable for one adventuring unit” rather than a physical maximum.

Visibility

Setting	Who Can See	When to Use
Private	Only you	Work in progress, campaign-specific items
Unlisted	Anyone with the direct link	Sharing with your group without appearing in search
Public	Everyone in the marketplace	Sharing with the community

You can change visibility at any time. Making an item private does not affect copies others have already made.

AI Item Generation

Describe an item in natural language and let AI generate a complete template for you — name, description, stats, rarity, tags, and all.

Web: AI Workshop

1. Go to Marketplace > AI Workshop (or click the AI Workshop tile on the Discover page)
2. Describe the item you want (up to 500 characters)
3. Optionally select a game system
4. Click Generate
5. Review the AI-generated preview with all fields filled in
6. Click Save to Collection to keep it, or Regenerate for a different result

Generated items are set to private by default and tagged as AI-generated. You can edit any field before or after saving.

A usage meter at the top of the page shows how many generations you have remaining in the current billing period.

Example prompts:

• “A cursed ring that makes you speak in rhymes”
• “Clockwork crossbow that fires bolts of lightning”
• “Healing potion brewed from mushrooms found in the Underdark”

Discord: /generate

/generate description:A magical sword that glows when orcs are near
/generate description:Potion of fire breathing system:dnd5e

Parameters:

Parameter	Required	Description
description	Yes	Natural language item description (max 500 characters)
system	No	D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Draw Steel, or Other (defaults to your preference)
system_name	No	Custom system name (use with “Other” system)

The bot responds with a rich embed showing the generated item, along with buttons to Add to Inventory, Generate Another, or View on Web.

Generation Limits

AI generation uses your monthly AI request allowance:

Tier	Generations per Month
Free	5
Player	15
GM	100
Patron	Unlimited

Usage resets with your billing period, not the calendar month.

Import Items from a File

If you already have items written up in a text document, spreadsheet, homebrew PDF, or JSON export, you don’t need to retype them. ScryMarket’s Import pipeline uploads the file, extracts every item it finds, and lets you review a preview before committing anything to your collection.

It also handles ZIP bundles — drop in a folder of homebrew and process it all at once. Imported items are checked against the marketplace so existing templates don’t get duplicated.

See the Import Guide for file type support, cost estimates, and the full walkthrough.

Ask Scrybe to Create Items

Scrybe, your party’s AI assistant, can create items directly from conversation. Describe what you want — “a cursed signet ring that whispers secrets”, “three potions of greater healing”, “a masterwork bow that glows near undead” — and Scrybe builds the template with stats, tags, and description filled in.

This is often faster than opening a form. Scrybe will show you the generated item and ask for confirmation before saving it to your collection. You can edit any field afterward.

See the Scrybe Guide for full capabilities and example prompts.

Forking Marketplace Items

Found something close to what you need? Fork it and make it your own.

1. Browse the Marketplace and open an item’s detail page
2. Click Fork to Collection
3. The item is copied to your collection as a private, editable template
4. Open it in the full editor and change anything — name, stats, description, art

Your changes do not affect the original. The original creator still gets attribution through template ancestry, and anyone viewing your fork can trace it back to the source.

Publishing to the Marketplace

Share your creations with the community by making them public.

How to Publish

1. Open the item in the full editor (from My Content > Items)
2. Set Visibility to Public
3. Make sure the Game System is correct
4. Add descriptive Tags (type, theme, source)
5. Save

Your item is now discoverable in the marketplace by all users.

Quality Tips

Items that get high ratings and usage share these qualities:

• Complete descriptions — Both flavor text and game mechanics
• Accurate stats — Weight, value, and rarity appropriate for the game system
• Useful tags — Item type, theme, and relevant categories
• Art — Items with images stand out in browse results and card views
• Correct game system — So filters work and encumbrance values make sense

System-Specific Items

Different game systems use different inventory mechanics. The item editor adapts automatically based on the selected system.

D&D 5e

The default system. Items use weight (in pounds) and value (in gold pieces).

Field	Typical Values
Weight	0.5 lb (dagger) to 65 lb (plate armor)
Value	1 gp (torch) to 50,000+ gp (legendary items)
Stack Size	1 (weapons) to 20 (arrows) to 1,000 (coins)

Pathfinder 2e

When you select Pathfinder 2e, the Weight field is replaced by Bulk Category:

Bulk Category	Meaning	Examples
Negligible (—)	Weightless for encumbrance	Coins, gems, small trinkets
Light (L)	10 Light items = 1 Bulk	Daggers, potions, scrolls
1—99	Full bulk units	Longsword (1), Plate armor (4)

Draw Steel

Draw Steel uses abstracted encumbrance by design. The weight field is available but optional — many Draw Steel items leave it blank.

Discord Commands Reference

Command	What It Does
/add item:Longsword	Search marketplace and add to inventory
/add item:Longsword quantity:5	Add multiple copies
/add item:Longsword system:dnd5e	Filter by game system
/add item:My Custom Sword	Creates a custom item if no match found
/generate description:A cursed ring	AI-generate an item from a description

Common Questions

Can I edit an item after creating it? Yes. Open it from My Content > Items and click Edit. All fields are editable at any time.

Can I edit AI-generated items? Yes. AI-generated items are fully editable templates, just like any other item. Edit the name, stats, description, or anything else.

What happens to items already in inventories when I edit the template? Existing inventory copies (instances) are not affected by template edits. Templates and instances are independent after creation.

How do I add art to my item? In the full editor, use the Image field at the bottom. You can upload your own image or generate one with AI.

Can I use Quick Create without being in a party? Quick Create is available inside the Item Picker, which opens from the inventory page. You can also create items directly from My Content > Items > Create Item using the full editor.

Is there a limit on how many items I can create? There is no limit on manual item creation. AI generation has monthly limits based on your subscription tier.
