More feedback....

1. The herbology stations no longer recognize that I have put bottles of water in. No matter what... a single bottle of water, a stack of water, it says I have zero water in. I tried two different stations and multiple recipes. Worked last night when I made coffee.

2. Found a bee hive outside Guldorand but cannot access it? We tried Examine and Use and then bashing. It says Unable to ReachTarget. The beehive appears to be partially placed inside a rock outcropping which may be part of the problem.

Howdy, still testing theses however my initial insights are:

1) I have noticed not all the potions seem to have a 2nd effect. I'm not sure if this is intended or not? (DM me if you want the list thus far, not sure what is and isn't classed as FOIG so won't post here)

2) I'd recommend increasing the buff durations to be 2-3 hours. 1 is very short short and from a RP perspective it is drink and bolt before it runs out. Where as 3 hours would would allow for a bit of follow up RP etc.

3) As stated above having a bottle of water, then needing another bottle seems a bit counter intuitive? anything with a water base probably shouldn't need the bottle.

4) This one is more of a personal observation on the crafting system as a whole. I think Alchemy and Herbalists need to be shifted/renamed. They cross over in some areas, fine, but alchemy should be changed to chemist.

If they're not stackable they're almost impossible to stockpile for events/parties/whatever. They also cost a decent amount of craft points (4+ per individual bottle) which makes crafting in bulk on the day of an event impossible too. They are also a nightmare to stock in shops, as each liquor takes up its own slot, rather than one slot for each individual stack of the same type of liquor.

I get the sentiment behind them being non-stackable, I just dont think it works in practice. The drinks are really fun and I want to use them but they're just so impractical that it's hard to justify carrying them. Taking away the mechanical effects of the beverages is really enough to discourage people from using them outside taverns, so making them unstackable really only hurts people trying to use them for RP, especially RP events.

A way of balencing that and ensuring people don't have a perminent +1 regen because they're swigging 100 bottles of drink, is to make it impossible to carry that many bottles.
Whilst I can see an argument for adding a small, limited stack size - especailly to the immedate healing ones, (say, 5 or 6?) I think keeping the max low is a wise idea.

But people stack scrolls and other potions with no problem. Why can't these at least stack to 5 or 10?

And I've done that.
Swipe right on your herbalist. Tindr.

Sorry, the drinks are nice, but my PC made a bunch and can't sell them at even rock bottom prices so now she's lugging a gazillion drinks around. Gave out free samples to get people interested even, but no one seems to be impressed at all. She has to use temp stalls so this has become very frustrating.
