Blocil berries are 1 stone each, I think most other herbs are 5 stone each. Player made potions/salves weight is based on what it was made in (so never make potions in large containers ie. critter boxs, packs, backpacks, etc). I would think that herb weights will come down with the substance rewrite.

Apparently the substance rewrite is going to revolutionize DR as we know it when it comes to EVERYTHING that we can pick up in the realms. Problem being, I haven't heard from Fial in a long time about any updates. Last I knew, things were moving along swiftly and it was coming out "soon" but then he disappeared for the longest time. I don't know if we'll see it anytime soon, unless Fial comes back with it already written and ready for QC.

Give Fial time, he's only one GM, and this is a lot bigger of a project than Magic was, I assume.

New substance system stuff will weigh based on how many uses they have left.

Wow, great, love it!
Now we can tell about how many uses we have left before we actually run out.

THANKS!!

something is still seriously wrong though when 1 herb--won't go into a pouch because its "too wide".


case in point, <this occured in plat>, I "picked up" a cebi root up in Muspar'I... and it wouldn't fit in my pouch.

my pouch was empty at the time.

very odd.

Actually this means I won't be the one getting into trouble for finding all the bugs in Plat now :cheers:

I'm still having trouble with herbs that come out of a pouch then refuse to go back in. (all that is in the pouch is a jadice flower, yelith pulp, and ithor potion, and one applies some pulp to someone else and it won't go back in?) As much as I like to stay organized and have herbs in one container, tools in another, general miscellany in my pack etc etc... I've rather given up on herbs staying the same size, or my pouch staying the same size, and just toss it all into my pack or greatcloak. The rummage sure gets very long results though :cover eyes:

I noticed something similar too. However, the cebi root was indeed in my bag of alchemical supplies for a while. Along with several other Cebi roots. But then I took it out once, and I can't seem to get it back in no matter how many herbs I pull out of it.

<general herbs not fitting in the pouches they came from>

I have had some monumentally bad times with this lately. At first I was pretty nonchalant about it. "Oh, I'll just dump everything out and re-pack in some logical fashion." Unh uh. I packed and re-packed...they just wouldn't go in like they were before. I remember them, when they were all there in one place. They seemed so happy. I'll always remember them in their little herb pouch. I hope this is addressed in some fashion one day. One day... sniffle

I've been told that getting the pouch wet makes it shrink, and it won't fit as much as it used to until it dries. I don't know if that's true, never really tested it, but it's fun to relate old wives' tales :-)

This has always happened. I always thought after taking a bite out of some herb it expanded. Sometimes leaving out the hisan sal or cebi root out of the pouch let all the other herbs fit. Then I started always leaving them out and it still happened. I thought it was the Nemoih root or the Plovik leaf because they seemed to last longer. I tried leaving roots out of the herb pouch and put grasses in, that seemed to work but some leaves would fit and some would not. Right now I have as many herbs in my duffel as in my herb pouch cause I havent taken the time to resort my herb pouch to figure out which few herbs are causing the problem.

Just out of curiosity, how would one go about getting their pouch wet? I swim and the messaging says I'm wet, doesn't mention my items ... items which can be damaged by water get wet but pouches? Or was this a joke and I'm missing it in my early morning, pre-caffeinated state?

Best advice ever.

I try not to, but when I did this last time it wasn't intentional. I had a jadice flower in my backpack and one in my herb pouch. When I tried to "get j flower" it defaulted to the one in the herb pouch even though I had last interacted with the one in the backpack. It set off a chain of events that led me down a very dark road. I don't like to think about it.

This is why I carry all my herbs in a soldier's supply bag.

Lots of herbs.

If I was the only one that used the herbs, I wouldn't. However, I hunt a lot with gnomes, and they don't like to carry anything they don't absolutely need. One of my functions on the hunt is to be the walking medicine cabinet (when I'm with gnomes, I'm also the one who has to get stuff off the top shelf). I have to get herbs out to give them to others, and it has gotten to be common to not have them fit back in.

I definately agree about not carrying anything extra. I'm a gnomish ranger, and I'm in constant need of herbs. I try to carry one of each, and they all seem to fit in my cloak well enough, but the weight can be a major problem, so I don't carry any potions at all.

I drained massive amounts of TDP's into strength, but I'm still constantly falling over from the small garden in my cloak.

Oh well, maybe that's why there aren't many gnomish rangers...

Stamina does twice as much as strength for alleviating burden for a gnome.

Next time put them into stamina.
