Alchemy
Cindy Andrie
sooo Excited about Alchemy! So I have been doing my home work, and I
started to find some disturbing things. Basically, HERB LOCATIONS! As a
Barbarian Shamaness, I am VERY KOS in the Troll, and Ogre cities, not to
mention Paineel. So I am wondering: How do I get some of these herbs? I
have read about people using Mules, Or paying someone to go get them, nether
of those ideas impress me. Not to mention the fact that Halas is WAY outta
the way (which for most things I like, that's half the reason for being a
barbarian), but there is a "Potion of the Frost" that acts like a Tele to
Everfrost Peaks! GREAT! BUT.... the herbs for that potion is in Ogguk and
Paineel!!! Which brings me to my questions:
1) What do you do? Do you have a Mule? Do you pay someone or does a
friend get it... What?
2) Does Verant have any plans to make the Herbs more accessible? I know
that Trolls, and Ogres have the same problem, but with Paineel and Halas.
(WHY PAINEEL out of curiosity?). Is there going to be a maybe a vendor
somewhere in the middle that EVERYONE can use? And if not why?? You must
have reason for this. What are the intentions (visions) of Alchemy?
3) Is Alchemy (now that it is ACTIVE) turning into a big waste of time?
4) Opinions? Points? Anything?
I'm Just curious about this. Seem odd to me!
Thx For Your Time!

i have a mule i'm going to use to buy the herbs from oggok. i last trivialed
the spirit of wolf potion, so next on my list is probably invis undead. which
the herbs are only in oggok and paineel.

i'd like to know that as well. i defintely like the "Herb Forage" skill idea, so
shamans can "forage" and find herbs in various places. :)

not really. i've made a sizable amount of money after the initial investment
selling spirit of wolf potions. i wish i had the plat to dump into getting my
skill enough for invis undead and shrink, those two are high sellers.

i think it is a great skill, good for a money sink for shamans that don't go
to the planes (yeah right runed etched rules :) and has a lot of potential.
the biggest problem is the cost of the herbs though. i spent well over 2000
plat to get my skill high enough that blood of the wolf (sow potion) is
trivial. and because of the failure rate, in order to recoup COST ALONE prices
need to be 20p. the herbs themselves go for 10-ish. its amazing how many
say "20p for a sow, i'll get a druid to cast it for a plat!". they just don't
understand the power of having it at your disposal when you really need it.
