Quite simply, after trying out a Stargazer that has invested heavily in Alchemy and Herbalism i have found that none of the nature PC merchants (3 of which i have access too) sell some quite basic reagents that can be purchased in thbe city and i don't really see why they would have none of these.

So basically i think it would be cool if nature merchants could stock a few more of these basic reagents. e.g. Quartz Crystals, Fish Scales...

On a similar note, might be cool if some merchant could sell plant seeds so you can plant your own gardens otherwise you find you plant one and everyone poaches it and some plants seem to go extinct on the isle.

((Only because we can't enter the City :/))

I'm actually against this idea. I like the fact that some reagents are actually collected and sold by a few distinct merchants. If anything sold can be found within easy reach of everyone it kinda detracts from the whole. I'd suggest dealing with this issue in game, for not everyone is going to bother collecting fish-scales (which are easy as sin to find outside the colony anyway) and quartz which serves no purpose for most wildlings. Make some deals with ctiy dwellers.

The Stewards are likely the best option for dealing with poaching for spoilerish reasons. However I do believe that all plants spawn naturally in various places within the Isle. So nothing ever really goes extinct. Unless those parts of the Isle no longer exist...

If Hbala's activities have removed some of the naturally growing plant-life, maybe those seeds could be sold at a particular place. I do think that some of the plants have issues with this. Although a permanent IG seed bank on an NPC is a bad overall idea I believe.
