Goldenseal Pandemic

To the citizens of Achaea, and whomever else it may concern,
It has come to my attention that someone has been harvesting goldenseal both from the Savannah, and the Northern Plains. Whether by a conscious action of their own, or merely a simple mistake, the levels of goldenseal have gotten dangerously low. At the current rate of depletion, there is a very real risk of goldenseal disappearing from the lands altogether.
To allow goldenseal to return to its former levels, and to continue to thrive on the land of Sapience, I must ask everyone to cut back on their purchasing of the herb. And of the Druids and Sentinels in particular, I must ask both guilds to cease and desist in all cultivation of goldenseal, except for purposes of transplant.
Now, to properly transplant, one must be aware of a few things. First off, be sure you aren't depleting the herb in the room you are transplanting from. To ensure this, PROBE the goldenseal, and make sure that there is more than one harvest remaining. Harvest up to three goldenseal, or so, then move to a barren room that supports goldenseal. You will know if the room supports goldenseal, because a slipper plant will be there. You must act quick, for after harvestation, you have but a minute to replant the herb.
Regardless of guild, if everyone will follow these directions, we should see goldenseal flourish within a few short Achaean months, three to four on the outside. I thank in advance everyone who heeds my warning.
