Herb prices

Hello Everyone,
I am no druid or sentinel, so where it comes to herbs, I lack the
extreme expertise they might show. However, I have talked with a
few sentinels and druids, even followed some on some herb gathering
trips. The reason for some sorts of price hike is that some of the
herbs we rely on are pretty rare! For instance, cohosh only seems
to grow in certain swampy areas. Which our fair land is vast, the
areas where this plant grows are few and far inbetween. It seems
that the demand exceeds the supply.

Disturbingly enough, this is also true of bloodroot, it seems.
So let us think carefully of how we should react to these prices,
I honestly doubt it is for the money. The real profit margin for
druids and sentinels has to be in vials of various elixirs. Perhaps
we may experience what happens if the bloodroot harvesting areas no
longer produce very much.

I for one do not want to see that, and a rise in prices, temporary
rise in prices mind you, may help to alleviate this problem until
a solution can be found. If there is one...


Please excuse my academic rambling.
Shine, The Sorcerer.

Penned by my hand on the 9th of Scarlatan, in the year 260 AF.
