Herbalist potions etc | Thu Sep 10 07:39:50 2009 MST |
| 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. |

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. |
