A Paladin's attention is drawn by the use of foul language from his youngest like an unusually angry heat-seeking missile. His chosen weapon is a rolled up parchment tube. "Language, dear. You already have a weapon, and you will go no-where but straight to bed, with talk like that."

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG

Deep in catacombs of Sunbreak Keep, A Paladin sought bitter silence. A familiar paper clenched in hand. Better the silence here, than a missing voice in the halls above. They've taken Tarathiel. His compass has been stolen Deep in the catacombs of Sunbreak Keep, A Paladin broke his bitter silence. "Order Demands Servitude; Guardianship Demands Sacrifice." The dawn rises over the mountain peaks. So it begins.

... Highly improbable...

A one-armed Paladin reads the missive with a raised brow. "How unfortunate." He very casually ripped the paper into very small scraps. In the background, a skygod cackles in human nation ****.

A certain one-armed, scarred Paladin spots the missive from afar, hanging on the notice board of Haense. He blinks, and laughs. The 'thill laughs.. and laughs, until tears wet his cheeks from mirth. He plucks it up, and takes it home, pinning it above his desk on the 'wall of incredibly stupid things'. From there he stands back, hands on his hips, and just stares. "Well ****."

So this is just food for thought, but. Scarcity is an unfortunate necessity of any resource that's both sought out and is actively influencing the economy. However, having the current nodes set up to be global allows people to oocly camp out sections of the map and particular resources, enabling one portion of a playerbase to have that resource in excess while all others do not, and then charging exorbitant prices. (Which is, bah, inflation! the thing we want to avoid for now, it being a new map) I personally think that scarcity should be enforced not by global nodes, but by personally keyed nodes that are varied by cooldown times on the herbs themselves depending on their lore-appointed scarcity, as well as the actual scarcity of the nodes (which would take some pressure off the teams for plotting in all the herb nodes anyways). For an example, a rare herb will only have 5 nodes map wide, with 24 hour cooldowns (just as a ballpark) While a common herb will have 25-30 nodes, and a 3 hour cooldown. This will enable people to use the herb plugin as they do vortex, each with individual grind limits per day (based on how the herbs refresh, or maybe have herb grinding take energy?) while still allowing playerbases to not feel cheated when they run for 50 minutes straight around the map without a single herb gained for it. @SquakHawk Thoughts?

Name of your plant/reagent: Foxglove Sign(s): Water, Air Symbol(s): Endurance x3 Chaos x6 Swiftness x4 Appearance: A tall, bright green stalk with spade shaped leaves and conical groups of downturned, bell-shaped flowers that can come in violet or white. The inside of the bell-flowers are speckled with dark purple splotches Location: Fields and sparse forests, found in the shade of deciduous trees or long grasses, sheltered from rain and direct sunlight in a temperate climate. It’s rare and exceedingly difficult to find. Raw effect(s) of the plant/reagent: Otherwise known as dead man's bells and witch's gloves, Foxglove is a potently poisonous plant. Symptoms of this plant include irregular pulse, brachycardia, tachycardia, seizures, visual hallucinations, delirium and death depending upon amount ingested, or introduced to the vascular system. Inhaling Foxglove pollen will yield the same symptoms above, alongside shortness of breath and profuse coughing. Diluted doses of tincture made from the root of Foxglove can give one a burst of energy, and aid in preventing cardiovascular illnesses. Harvesting: The entire plant is rife with alchemical properties and can be harvested whole. A delicate plant, it’s usually found in the shade of deciduous trees. Its toxicity can be a hazard to the harvester if introduced to bare skin or a cut. Breathing in the plant’s pollen is similarly toxic. Gloves and a mask are required to safely harvest this botanical reagent. Introduction of Foxglove sap to skin will result in a vibrant green stain that lasts for 1-3 IC months, or 1 OOC day. Foxglove cannot be farmed. Red Lines: -All Reagents must be gathered through RP and represented by ST approved items. -When processed for it’s Symbols, this Reagent will lose all of its raw effects and harvesting capabilities. -Foxglove can not be farmed thanks to its delicate nature, as no seed will sprout outside of its natural habitat, and plants that are pulled from the soil will always perish before it can be transplanted. -One Foxglove plant will result in one quarter measure of reagent or tincture. -More than two measures of Foxglove will prove a fatal dose. -Processed Foxglove is a distinctive green in colour that cannot be entirely concealed, even when added to stronger tinctures or reagents. -Foxglove pollen is toxic for as long as the plant is living. Once it’s pulled from the ground, the pollen is rendered inert.

Does this mean that the freeze on submitting new herb lore is still in effect, or no?

A Paladin side-eyes his wife, missive in hand. Well aware that he was about to be suplexed through the floor, he opens his maw and lets loose an eldritch shriek of fervent desire.
