[RPG] When does an artficer regain spell slots

artificerdnd-5erestsspell-slots

I've looked on several resources and I can't get to the bottom of whether an Artificer recharges spell slots on short/long rest?

Lots of articles refer to the class as a "short rest caster" or "warlock-like" but I haven't been able to find anything in the handbooks which make it very clear (to me at least).

Some places seem to say short rest:

This wondrous creation is capable of regenerating its power over a short rest period (1 hour), which allows artificers to regenerate their spell slots much like a warlock can.

While others say long rest:

You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

It seems to make a huge difference to the power of an artificer, particularly as they gain spell slots very slowly. Is there anything solid to back up the "regain on a short rest" that gets talked about so much?

Best Answer

The first link you provided is a homebrew (non-official) class named artificer.

The official artificer (published in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything and Eberron: Rising from the Last War) regains their spell slots after a long rest:

To cast one of your artificer spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
