[Yes-Under Development] Increase Herb Spawn Rates

[Robotron]

Thanks for the update. I hope it's enough, since some herbs are five times (or more) what they generally capped out at in retail.

The plan is that the new dynamic respawn system would be applied this week, potentially as early as Wednesday with the honor reset.

Any word on whether or not this change went live as of Dec 16? Or are we waiting another week or so.

[Nano]

We'll make an announcement when it goes live.

The IsVV and Dev team are currently working on adapting the dynamic respawn timers to ores, herbs (looking at you, Black Lotus) and to some specific creatures (Devilsaurs).

Won't matter, in regards to devilsaur, unless they do something about the ungoro mafia.

Contrary to the apparent popular belief, the Nostalrius staff doesn't decide what the price is for herbs on the auction house.

Since we increased the Herb Spawn Rate, there have been an average of 3x more Black Lotuses farmed. There also are a lot of players who have taken this as an opportunity to stockpile lotuses rather than sell them on the auction house. There are some players who have upwards of 500 black lotuses banked.

At this point, the issue seems mainly due to the style of players on the server and not due to a lack of sources. If it continues on this path, perhaps we will address herbs further. If you want to see lower prices of black lotus, encourage your fellow players to sell their stocks rather than horde them.
