Talk:Healing herbs
I added some wikilinks for each herb so we can make individual pages with more info such as foragable or not, best alchemical form, etc. If I had more than 20 ranks in Wikipedia I'd make a nice template table or somesuch... might make a nice weekend project actually.

- Good idea. Don't worry about the table/format. I can whip something up once you get info added :) --Naeya (talk) 17:25, 21 March 2007 (CDT)
Page rename
Renaming the page to Healing herbs to conform with wiki naming conventions. Farman 12:31, 25 March 2007 (CDT)
- I actually preferred it as Healing Herbs.... I see it as a page title, perhaps like a book name or something. Debating on rolling back the move.--Naeya (talk) 12:36, 25 March 2007 (CDT)
Yeah, I guess it doesn't matter that much, we're not that huge a site anyway. Sorry for stirring the pot :P --Farman 21:25, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
- I wasn't berating you, ye weren't stirring the pot. Goodness.--Naeya (talk) 21:28, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
I didn't think you were for an instant, I was trying to be facetious ;) Long day for me and I used the wrong smiley I guess! Farman 00:08, 27 March 2007 (CDT)
herb forms
do you want all the herb forms or just starting form(ex. root) and alchemical form(ex. potion)? --Legeres 14:57, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
It would be interesting to have all 6 forms (fresh, dried, crushed, dried then crushed, crushed then dried, mixed), but if you're/we're not interested in exploring potential differences in efficacy between them then it's not necessary.--Symphaena 23:44, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
- should be easy enough, i'll add those i know --Legeres 04:29, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
herbs from P5
Anyone else think it's weird or worth noting that some of the herbs you buy from Hib have to be consumed differently? Genich stems need to be inhaled, oj potions eaten, etc?
Yeah, that is kind of odd; they also don't like to combine with herbs from elsewhere. Maybe they're bugged, try handing them one of those alchemist students (if there is one close) and see if they say anything about them. I was meaning to, but I ate all the herbs before I found one of the students... Otterino 23:25, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
table updates
So I went through and added some more information to each of the individual herb pages. One thing I noticed though, and maybe it is just a browser/cache issue here on my end, but for all the items on the table that say they can not be foraged, they actually *can* be foraged. I updated the individual herb page tables with the information, but it doesn't seem to be carrying over to the master table on this page. I didn't want to break anything, so didn't mess with any of the sub-templates. But thought I would mention it.--Kythryn 14:25, 18 October 2014 (CDT)
- It is a cache issue at the wiki level. The site will eventually get around to refreshing it itself, but if you want to speed things along just edit and save the page without making any changes. This will cause the table to rebuild itself. I have done so this time, but if you or anyone make changes in the future, you know how to do it now. :)--ABSOLON (talk) 22:25, 18 October 2014 (CDT)
populating from shop catalogs
So I was looking at the clutter of a list under the shiny new table, that has all the information on which IG shops carry which herb. Is there a way to do a search from catalogs, instead of "items", so that we can have that automatically populate? Then we could have the results linked to the shop, so if for example someone was looking at the jadice flower in Therengia, the link would take them to https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Crin%27s_Herbal_Shop. --Kythryn 14:46, 20 October 2014 (CDT)
