Croppery and Herbs: Bug or Feature?

Apparently, Croppery DOES influence your herb harvest.

It increases the yield for all herbs, where you normally would get 2 per spot (Yellow Crumb, Purple, Silvertongue) from 2 to 3.

All others (Gandlevery, Rookswort, Hairball) stay at 1 per spot, no matter if you have croppery or not.

Details see here: http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/13142/

Is that intended, or is it a bug?

There seems to have been a widespread agreement on the fact that "Croppery does not benefit herbgardens" in the forum so far. Apparently that is not the case, and the benefit is quite significant (given the relatively low yields on herbs), although quite confusing. It also does NOT match the skill description of croppery (double your harvest).

Would be nice, if some people from TS could clarify if this is intended. Also: I think it would be quite helpful if some of the skill descriptions would be a bit clearer in this regard, and give a better idea on how a skill influences the game mechanics.

  • No answer here?

    It should not be that difficult to get a quick answer, if this is intended or not. It seems to me that there are quite a lot of people interested in this question, and quite a few were very surprised that croppery actually does influence your herb yields.

    I have no problem to learn croppery, but if it turns out that this is, in fact, a bug, then I might have learned another skill for nothing.

  • I am interested in a discussion of this phenomenon as well. As a personal play decision, I've not invested in croppery, but if it will ultimately increase my herb yields and will remain as a feature of the skill and not a bug, then I will learn them.

  • Hm. Still no answer?

    Does that mean everything is as it should be and croppery does influence herbs? I am still confused, though. Does that also mean, that crop2&3 influence the chance for drops and super harvests with herbs? Or is it only crop1 that influences (partly) the harvest?

    And why?

  • Croppery should not be influencing herbs, at least as of the last time I asked about it (a month or two ago at the most).  Your best bet is probably an in-game bug report (or opening one via the "Help" page here).  That gets it logged in the system as a bug, whereas a forum thread won't necessarily.

  • I'm pretty sure this was a bug. Not entirely sure, but it didn't seem to make that much sense.

    So, now Herbalism skills affect your herb harvests and Croppery skills affect your crop harvests.

  • Can we get info on exactly what was done in the change log that's next to the main forum page, please?  I would have totally missed this change had I not happened to look here.
