Bucket of Health, Keg of Health

These cost more per unit and weigh more than just buying regular herbs. The idea is good but you're paying roughly 33% more for something that weighs 20% more if you buy either of these when compared to healing herbs.

I'm suggesting the price of each be reduced to at most 400 for the Keg of Health and at most 200 for the Bucket of Health. This makes them cheaper per use than healing herbs.

Then weight could be reduced, or stay the same as it goes. My idea is there should be some benefit to buying in bulk, and that generally means a better price.

These used to cost less than the equivalent number of individual herbs. I wonder if they are in a store that has it's selling multiplier changed. /shrug

The ones I saw were at Mur.

I agree with Oro, convience in keeping a small keg of health and taking less inventory room is not outweighed by the fact it costs more and weighs even more.

Is there any way to make this item so that its weight is taken from an equation where the number of charges/uses? And then, could it be "recharged" by going to merchants who sell herbs for a lower cost? Maybe even Using herbs on the Bucket/Keg would give it more or less charges...

That statement brings into questions whether it would be easy to tell if someone is using a basic herbs on the keg, herbs from another keg on the keg, or herbs from the same keg on itself. If that would be an issue (considering that you cannot use a specific herb from your pack already), then it sounds like it would be more trouble then its worth.

I'd just say, make them lighter. Or make the herbs within them stronger.

I had a full keg of health, using it up over the course of about 3-4 weeks. The only issue I had with it was that the weight stayed the same, no matter how many times it was used. If it -were- possible to adjust the weight each time it was used, that would be better, but I can't think of a way to do that without replacing the item and therefore removing it from a hotkey.

This might be able to be done the way darts are done. 50 darts weigh 5lbs. As you use them up the weight of that 'item' goes down. However, the difference I see (and problem likely also) is that 50 darts, while grouped, are actually 50 individual darts.

Maybe we can just make herbs stackable somehow?
