D&D (2024) Oil of Sharpness creates permanent +3 magic weapons?

I have done stuff like this, but usually involves a temple and some sort of holy font or blacksmith fire.

Seeing that both the oil of sharpness and a +3 weapon are both classified as very rare items and are on the same spots on both the arcana and armament treasure tables I think it was designed on purpose.

I think the oil of sharpness was designed so that you can turn a family heirloom, inherited regular weapon, or weapon of a rare type into a magic item.

My issue is why there's no oil of hardening for bludgeoning weapons.

There used to be Oil of Impact for 1E and 2E, which does a similar thing.

it would be nice to have:

lesser oil of sharpness: +1
oil of sharpness: +2
greater oil of sharpness: +3

for blunt weapons, it can be; lesser, standard, greater gem of impact that merges with the weapon.

We can always make it ourselves =)

I had an awakened tree with a face that would eat magic items that were fed to it and spit out other, requested items of the same rarity.

I had a player with one of those bags, pulled a Treant sapling that he let free.

It was AL and every time his character was at my table that Treant would make a fleeting appearance.
