after trying these out i noticed they dested at 75minutes to 2.5 hours
was wondering if this could be upped to around 4 hours so you could
prep for a full eq party without having to stop to redo them
thanks, Andros.

in addition to this, is there any (or should there be any)
power/duration difference betwen druid potions, woodsman potions and
wagro elf potions?
as potions are no save already and take some time to prepare, a
duration of multiple hours (4hrs plus) is needed. the prep time to
collect herbs (versus buying herbs) and making potions now doesnt
stand in relation to the duration nor the benefit

maybe also worth considering herb gathering, lava items, elemental
items, shadow items, woodsman weapons and all other natural items to
check if their duration/effect is in line

happy to discuss/build further

Also, since some only ever go to specific vmap spots to gather herbs
in order to make superior potions will now get around duration of
pots by keeping herbs in inventory, can we (in light of weight
issues - these are lightweight plants afterall) lessen their
weight?

It's something that has always made me ponder why they'd be so heavy
- but the herbs you gather often require a lot of inventory space
and it would be great if we were able to gather and hold them a bit
more easily.

I like the idea of a weightless bag, and hopefully as well the idea
of the 20+minutes spent gathering herbs and creating pots/balms
before an eq/xp run can be given it's due and the potions are
allowed a minimum 3hr dest time before they disappear from
inventory.

My only other suggestion is that a 'creator' tag be applied to each
item made - since we know some are druid made, some woodsman made,
some from wagro elves - it'd be good to be able to identify them in
your inventory. For that matter it would be great to see a tag on
herbs picked (name of person who picked them, or tag from the herb
store near druid guild, etc)...since again, we know the efficacy of
the potions are greatly effected.

Unfortunately the issue for herbs comes from being handed herbs from
others, or autolooting them and getting the better ones you may be
carrying mixed in with those from unknown sources.
But I realize tagging created items requires a more time-consuming
issue with the code invovled, it would be a great way of knowing
what you've gat since there can be a huge difference in quality.
