We had a similar discussion about mushrooms, way back when. Not really sure how that ended. We may have even had this particular discussion before, but not for quite some time so it'd surely be locked.
That in mind I bring it forward (possibly again!) for discussion that perhaps Purp could stack just a wee bit higher? It seems to be one of the few items in the game where the rate at which you get it and the amount it stacks to are practically equal.
The flowers stack to 5 and a regular harvest of purp with the proper skills is 3. So, when a super harvest occurs, and with Herbalism III this is quite often, you get 9!
All this results in quite a lot of purp in an even greater number of inventory slots! Just a couple days of growing purp with great zeal (For the herb badge I still don't have. *frown*) and I've already got an entire SDB full! 1000 stacks of the things!
Just my thoughts/experience :) Anyone else ever been bothered by this?
((I will feel like such an idiot if purp is somehow cut out with a new update in the next six weeks. I mean, it's incredibly unlikely, but I'd feel quite dumb.))
