Artificer scroll crafting

[dnd2016]

What is the fastest a 10th lvl artificer can craft a scroll of first level?. So half the cost(12.5 gp) and 1/4 the time (2 hrs?). Is this right? So during a long rest assuming 2 hours of light activity I could craft a scroll of first level every long rest?

I wouldn't say crafting magic items counts as light activity. Otherwise, yes? Although technically, the time to scribe level 1 scroll is 1 day, not 8 hours, so quarter of that would be 6 hours.

A "day" for crafting is 8 hours per XGtE. so it would be 2 hours but it definitely wouldn't be light actively IMO.

Does mean you could knock out 2 lv one scrolls and still get a full night of rest.

DMG specifies crafting needs 8 hours, but XGtE doesn't, hence the "technically". The 8 hours figure is mentioned elsewhere, I was looking for it in the wrong part of the book.

I've always been baffled the way crafting and travels times in most TTRPGs is determined.

The travel pace is set for 8 hours or risk exhaustion...but there not enough time for a long rest if you travel that long anyways.

So basically no crafting is allowed during a long rest? It would have to be done during downtime activity?

It's not black and white. If you look into XGTE there are plenty of examples of things you can craft during a short/long rest, same for lizardfolk in VGtM.

5e isn't that big on going in depth regarding this type of simulation so ultimately it's GMs call. I would think most GMS would be ok as long as it's not something you trying to do all the time or may with some form of check attached.
