Herbs need some love

Herbs take a long time to grow, a lot of room in your pouch, and they're pretty useless. The only one I use regularly is Hairball Flower, and even that only adds a minuscule amount to your speed for a relatively short time.

The simplest fix to these would be allowing the buffs to stack - so instead of one Yellow Crumb flower increasing your learning speed for a couple of minutes, you could eat a whole bunch and have the effect last for a few hours. Alternatively or in addition, the time each herb lasts should be drastically increased. Also, the stack size you can carry needs to be increased - it should be 80, just like other plants.

  • yeah, unless the devs have something else in mind with the stack limitation, i don't do anything with herbs because i don't live in the swamps and herbs take a long time to grow AND they're inefficient to carry.

    if they were comparable in convenience to other plants, it would really help people who don't happen to have swamp homes.

    it's a part of the game i just don't play with because it's limiting.

  • I'm not sure about stacking buffs, but I do think we could store more herbs in the same spot.

  • With Herbalism 1, I get only 2 herbs per harvest and 2 seeds per shuck. That's not much, especially compared to crop harvests. I moved recently to the bogs, before I didn't even bother with herbs. They seem pretty useless indeed.
