We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:
- implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
- the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
- the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to tweak X class.

Remove all of the potions and let that be the domain of brewers.
Replace the potions with a variety of single use, non-magical, targeted cures/buffs which are made from mostly plants and animal parts, with the occasional rare ingredient for more valuable effects. Include more powerful distillates of existing natural effects.
Cures and buffs should have a single purpose, so that there isn't just one panacea that everyone stocks up on.
Examples:
- Guaji Extract - Guaji Root, Water - Increases movement speed by 10% for 5 Turns
- Antidote - Mintspear, Nuts, Water - Removes common, non-magical poisons (not including player crafted poisons)
- Minotaur Tincture - Horn of a Magical Creature, Spirits, Harnak Seed - Gives 3/- DR vs Physical for 5 Turns

So nothing past level 8.

1. What do you mean?
2. Don't get hung up on it. It's just an example, which has a 99.9% chance of not being implemented.

Common, nonmagical poisons... few -do- fall under that category. I mean, I believe I can count on one hand the amount of times I've fought something that had any poisons that wasn't a run-of-the-mill spider, or with anything beyond a negligible DC
Not getting hung up on it, just an evaluation

That part of the suggestion was intentional. I like the idea of an herbalist being able to combat poisons which occur in nature, but I don't like the idea of there being a universal antidote. Magical/complex poisons deserve a bit more attention. There's already magic and healing kits to deal with those.
This would be a means of dealing with nuisance poisons, without the need for a heavy class/skill investment, while still allowing more deadly substances to retain their power.
Ultimately, that's the sort of trend that I'd like to see from cooking/herbalism: widely accessible buffs/cures which remain useful enough that they're worth obtaining, even if they're not overly powerful.

A very good idea TRM.
I can totally imagein seasonal resources too, that can be harvested for potions. But they spawn only at certain seasons. (I.e. Lady's tear bushes can be used for healing potions, but the bushes only appear at Summer-Fall. )
A lot of room here to play with new ideas.
Herbalism enhanced.

I really like this idea. Especialy because it gets rid of the need for bottles which, basically, nurfs the current potions.
So yes, really love it!

Am I missing something - is there now a brewing trade skill?
