So I was wondering if there was a way to optimize the short rest casting of Warlocks and came up with a 2nd level Warlock build to see what is possible.
2nd level Elf Warlock, take a old/custom background to get Magic Initiate Wizard for Mage Armor.
Invocations take Pact of the Chain, Agonizing blast and Lessons of the Firsts ones for Magic Initiate Druid with Goodberry
Each night you Long Rest for 4 hours (Elven Trance)
Wake up cast Armor of Agathys and Goodberry, Short Rest
Cast Goodberry twice, Short Rest, repeat
Cast Mage Armor on yourself and Familiar, Short Rest.
So 8 hours have Past, you have 50 Goodberries, Mage Armor up for 7 hours on you and your familiar and you have 5 Temp Hp.
Have you confused Pact of the Tome with Druid's wild companion? Pact of the Tome should not need daily re-casts and would be kinda evil if it did since it does not more the 10GP cost, additionally Pact of the Tome doesn't expend a pact slot.
What they're trying to ask is why you feel the need to cast Find Familiar every day, when the familiar from it does not have a set duration. It does if you cast it using the Druid's Wild Companion feature, but not if you cast it via Pact of the Chain. It also doesn't use a spell slot when you cast it that way.
I mean sure, not sure the mage armor trick is really worth your origin feat. But yeah you can do that. A druid with leftover slots can do the same good berry trick. And yeah sure, 40 hit points of healing between fights is pretty slick. I'd just suggest odds are your DM will tune encounters in a way that you need it so in the end its not that amazing. The armor of agathys is pointless though since its duration is only 1 hour.

At 3rd level you can go Celestial and grab Aid.

So the build doesn't take Pact of the Tome. So i am not sure what you mean.
They mean Pact of the Chain, I think.

Sorry, I meant Pact of the Chain, as well as everything else Wagnarokkr said above.
Oh I see i am casting Mage Armor on me and on the familiar not casting Mage Armor and Find Familiar.
Ah, okay, that makes sense.

The temp hp will remain.
