Blessed Druidic Sickle not refreshing plants.

As the title, this sickle doesn't seem to be doing what it should!

I would love to see a rework of this sickle. Not only does it not refresh plants, but its damage output targets two varieties of creatures as likely to be on the Druid "friends" list as on the "enemies" list. Also, Druids can refresh plants themselves, so what exactly is the point of that power? Was it supposed to force a resource refresh so you could immediately strip a second helping of a resource you just took?

I personally would love to see the refresh removed, the restoration changed to a use/day, and the damage targeted toward druidic anathema ssuch as undead, golems, or outsiders.

The larger more direct issue is that it targets 2 enemies that are insanely rare on the server. There are only maybe 3 enemies out of hundreds who are fey or shapechangers.

I disagree with some of that. If changes were to be made, it would be nice to see the damage just move to a flat divine damage bonus vs all, since really druids won't be using these that often in melee anyway. Restoration becoming 1/day rather than charges lines up pretty reasonably with other weapon abilities at the moment.

The refreshing plant power was the thing that really attracted me to this item in the first place. My understanding of the wording was that it would instantly regrow one plant/day (rather than the touch of Ranger/Druid that sets it to regrow more quickly?). Hoping it works one day!

Is this able to be fixed? It takes a lot of effort to get one of these items and the attraction is specifically the thing that doesn't work.

Given that there was an update to do with the creation of this item, is the item going to be fixed also?

I tried using the Blessed Druid Sickle today, and it had no effect. Have I misunderstood the power or has it gotten broken in update since this old fix?

+++++++++++++

Use 'Special Power' of the Blessed Druid Sickle on an empty plant. No message appears. Open plant, inventory is still empty.

Expected Result:
Plant produces a new herb upon opening after using the sickle.

This seems to be the case both for wild plants and those planted.

I also found this to be the case when tested.

Any chance someone could look at fixing this? It's been six years now.

As per announcement roughly at this time, the Sickle should now actually be fixed.
