Anyone know where I can find a full list of what's in a spell component pouch?
Everything needed for a spell that doesn't have a price to it. Endless amounts of bat guano and sulfur.

Anyone know where I can find a full list of what's in a spell component pouch?
SPELL COMPONENT POUCH: A spellcaster with a spell component pouch is assumed to have all the material components and focuses needed for spellcasting, except for components that have a specific cost, divine focuses, and focuses that wouldn't fit in a pouch. Most spell component pouches are waterproof and can be strung onto a belt or bandolier.
So anything that does not have a specific cost such as wish or stoneskin, or is a focus or divine focus that will not physically fit in a pouch..
In short everything.
Also:
Focus (F): A focus component is a prop of some sort. Unlike a material component, a focus is not consumed when the spell is cast and can be reused. As with material components, the cost for a focus is negligible unless a price is given. Assume that focus components of negligible cost are in your spell component pouch.
Material (M): A material component consists of one or more physical substances or objects that are annihilated by the spell energies in the casting process. Unless a cost is given for a material component, the cost is negligible. Don't bother to keep track of material components with negligible cost. Assume you have all you need as long as you have your spell component pouch.
Basically non-gp cost focuses or components are fluff as most intelligent casters will keep several pouches on them at all times.

It has an unlimited amount of any component that doesn't have a cost listed under the spell description or is a focus.
In case you're looking for it for a joke (or other similar reason) though, I'm not sure where you would find it if some quick search-fu didn't yield any results. Perhaps it's time to sit down for a few hours going through every spell list and listing the components of every spell in a handy document?

Yeah, someone ought to do that. For example, butter (for Grease) is one of the components you have an 'infinite' number of, so if the GM ever tells you you're out of food, you can say, "I eat some butter from my component pouch". A complete list of everything you can get in there might lead to other useful / amusing possibilities.
Rotten eggs (stinking could) are always good to have around. Unless you want to go unnoticed. On the other hand I don't know why you need magic to turn a rotten egg into a could of stink.

Presumably, it only has components for spells on your spell list that you could theoretically cast, if you took the trouble to memorize them one morning. Components for spells you don't have wouldn't be in there because the PC wizard wouldn't have taken the trouble of rounding them up and putting them in there.
Wow, second thread on this subject, live. Don't people even look at the active threads before posting?

No, that's a focus component :)

If you get the actule items need for the spell that the pouch would normaly carry the DC of the spell is +1.
Yes, casters certainly need the buff.

Worst episode of Chopped ever.
You left out the insects and spiders. They can be eaten, too. nutritious. There are some meals I could cook with those incredients.
@Lime: I guess it's the mineral.
You left out the insects and spiders.
I added the locust, since people really do eat those. The grasshopper leg is a maybe. I don't think I'd bother with the spiders and flies though.
That fried spider just creeped me the frak out.
Anyways...dotting for interest
Well, I know what I'm serving at my Halloween buffet.
Depends on your setting and how you have magic work.
It could be filled with paper that you paint arcane symbols on when you prepare spells each morning.
It could be filled with Rune Stones that you need to arrange properly when you cast a spell
or, as mentioned, it could be filled with grasshopper legs, eye of newt and other assorted sundries
Worst episode of Chopped ever.
On the contrary, if that was an actual theme of a chopped episode I would enjoy it immensely.
An infinite supply of absolutely everything in the multiverse that either is less than 1 gp in value, or doesn't have a RAW-assigned value. To include little bits of demigods.
You also can't pour into a pile that exceeds 1 gp value.
It is both infinite and finite. A magical sort of contradiction fitting for the fuel of spellcasting.
I'm hoping this will fit, I'll spoiler it. I just used perrams spell card generator to pull a wizard list of all spells, and sorted the components line out for spells without a listed GP cost.

** spoiler omitted **...
I will be forever in your debt. Too hilarious!
As it does contains also brass keys, with enough time, given infinite keys to test, you should also be able to get rid of thieves tools...
Oh, and containing salt and copper pieces for corpse eyes, you've also a steady supply of cash in small change form.

The spell component pouch only contains one thing: a red button. On the red button is painted the word "Win". Press the button, cast the spell, get the word. You're welcome.

Nowhere does it say it has an infinite amount of stuff in it. It says you have all you need for your spellcasting. And I forget if it's in the rules or just a dev comment on the forum, but the idea is that restocking the pouch is something you do automatically off camera while in town or whenever you spot something you can use. Like pooping.

All stored in the same pouch as the bat guano....
You sir, do NOT get to cook for me :P
Out of curiosity, Is this what they did in 3.0 or was this generic 'pouch of whatever...' something that Pathfinder did?
2E was pretty specific about the components you need... PF is more 'Ehhhh we included it because people would complain if we didn't.... but nobody wants to deal with the record keeping. It's good for an indeterminate amount of time, then you replace it cheap...'
Out of curiosity, Is this what they did in 3.0 or was this generic 'pouch of whatever...' something that Pathfinder did?
The pouch was even better in D&D, especially if the Book of Vile Darkness was available. Still beating hearts, severed hands of good-aligned clerics, evil artifacts. All had no price, so were assumed to be included in the pouch.
3.5 had it, so it's not just a PF thing.

3.0 had it too, because counting crickets legs isn't worth time at the game table. Same as how an Alchemist doesn't have to count how many glass vials he turns into bombs.
I once made a character who had a spell component pouch despite not even being a caster, I made a giant list of the tonnes of things he could pull out of it. I just wish I could find that list again....

Actually tracking spell components won't make wizards less powerful. It just makes them more annoying to play, which is bad for everyone at the table.

On some of the 3.5 forums they actually have a term for this. Shame I can't remember what it is offhand.

No, it just means that they'll buy 50x or 100x of each component at a time, like the ranger buys arrows, and the GM has a harder time making NPC wizards.
