I see that a Common Potion of Healing deviates from the standard magic potion crafting rules. Instead of 2.5 days like other Common consumables, it is only 1 day. However, I don't see anything specifying what the rule is for Greater Healing Potions and up. Is it just the Common level that gets special treatment, and the other levels follow the usual crafting times? Or do they all get special times? I assume it's just the Common that is special, since nothing directly states the others get special times.
For the sake of argument, if the Common version is 1 day, then that pattern would make Greater Potions = 2 days, Superior Potions = 10 days, and Supreme Potions = 25 days.
Now that the Artificer has been updated, my Alchemist character (who now gets Herbalism Kit proficiency) will need to eventually know this. A regular Potion would only take him 2 hours to craft (8 hrs cut in half for Alchemist, then again with a helper). If the other levels don't get special times, then a Greater would take 10 hrs, Superior = 50 hrs, and Supreme = 125 hrs. But with the pattern like I used above, it would be Greater = 4 hrs, Superior = 20 hrs, and Supreme = 50 hrs.

From my understanding, the common Potion of Healing described in the PHB is the exception for crafting time, so for example Greater healing, Superior healing or Supreme healing potions follow the DMG rules for other Magic Items.

I figured that was the case. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't knee-capping myself by assuming longer times than was needed. Thanks.
