New herbalism drinks should be able to stack

Post by In Sorrow We Trust »

Hello, just a bit of feedback about the new herbalism drinks.

Finally had the chance to try them out. It's lovely to have so much variety as a cook and the different benefits really encourage you to hand these out at a party.

Issue is that they don't stack. That means that you're filling all your space in your inventory just to complete them, which also makes them very impractical for transporting them to an event (especially when you already carry so much stuff) not to mention trying to flavor-text them!

I'm referring to the spiced rum, mead, etc. that are using miscellaneous thin appearances rather than potions (which is fine). It's just not very good for quality of life.

Hello

The none-stacking is a feature, not a bug. This has been discussed at length here.

viewtopic.php?f=37&t=39460&p=309642&hilit=stack#p309642

We might consider reversing this only if the ingredents were made far rarer, and the CP likely raised too. As is, the lack of stacking acts as a balence to their mechanical effects.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)

Oh, right- I wasn't paying attention to that thread. You're right, they are very easy to make- which is sort of surprising, given how powerful they are. It might be worthwhile raising the CP, introducing some rarer ingredients and then making them stackable, as an alternative.

I think making them stack to a small number, like 5 would make it more reasonable
