At least as of current writing in 10.1, you cannot create/fulfill cauldron orders using the cauldron alone. You must still go to Brackenhide Hollow and use the altar there as the cauldron requires being in the Den of Decay on top of the altar. It's unclear if this will be changed.

This is actually a pretty bad investment. First of all, with three charges and having to craft it by the original cauldron, you have to do the instance every three crafts. This means thios only saves you the hassle 2 of every three crafts.

Now the cost, the dracothist + the spores alone are around 10k in my server. This means the three uses you get end up costing 10k + 1 travel to the dungeon. And thats not counting the initial investment of 30k for the reusable cauldron. Even if you add 5k to whatever your crafting tip was, it would still mean you barely get 5k for doing the dungeon (less than a satchel of coop) plus the costs for recrafting the cauldron.

You would need to charge at least 10k extra to pay this thing in a reasonable number of crafts. Sadly the costs for most things crafting related (recipes etc) seems to be just high enough that either you craft A LOT or youll never get the investment back.

For 40k, it should either be infinite uses or have a lot of them, enough to get some money back through these 1k -50g public orders that show up every now and then.

This is a trap. Don't make it. Ignoring the initial 30k investment this thing is way too expensive to make just to save you 3 trips to Brackenhide Hollow. You'll still have to go back to Brackenhide to craft a new cauldron (you can't use the cauldron to make more cauldrons).

Whoever designed this item is either completely out of touch and doesn't understand how the game works or is just malignant. They could have just put an Altar of Decay out in the world, or made this item infinitely reuseable if they actually wanted to give us some quality of life improvements.

Just get a M0 save and keep extending it.
