The herb price regulations are NOT a list of prices that everyone of Druid class MUST sell for.
It will be (when it is implemented) a list of MINIMUM prices which we must not sell BELOW.
We are not posting this list to all of Achaea, because some people may wish to sell HIGHER than the pricelist, and we do not wish to jeopardise their chances of successfully making their sales.
For those of you who wonder WHY we wish a minimum pricelist to be set, it is because of many individuals who tend to undercut their fellow treehuggers. This has resulted in pricewars and such ridiculous prices as 3gp for echinacea - a herb that replaces a fairly high level vision skill.
You all may not have noticed this but... in the last decade herb prices have gone DOWN, yet they are all getting rarer, and prices in markets have mostly DOUBLED, similar to prices for refills at Seasones.
So this pricelist will reflect inflation, supply/demand, as well as a couple of other internal hopes. It is no business of anyone except US, we have reason to raise prices above what they were a decade ago, it is no business of YOURS, and we are NOT going to offer different prices to different cities, though some individuals/groups of individuals MAY choose to do so of their own accord.
