Miscellaneous: Alchemy Herb Prices

[Passenger]

Alchemy herb prices were reduced by up to 50% in June 2000. Currently on P99 the prices appear to be a mix of the old and new values.

- Prices before June 2000 - Prices after June 2000 (CHA 95-100)

- Another pre-patch price list from Shaman's Crucible (CHA 65-85)

- An Oct 2000 post-patch update on Belgar's forums ("high faction and charisma")

-Alchemy Prices-

We'll be adjusting these, making alchemy less expensive. It won't be in tomorrow's patch, but probably in the one after that.

I was pleased to see that in last patch they did not say but did Slash prices on Alchemy. They are now Half the old price.
For example where it used to cost 10p5g to make a sow potion it now costs 4p2g5s. All herbs in FV were cut in half but this is as far as I could check will be checking on rest tonight.

If the old alchemy system were to be implemented for a future server, the pre-update prices would be in effect from Feb 2000 to Jun 2000. If the alchemy system isn't reverted, then the old prices would presumably be in effect from launch.

Here is another capture showing prices before and after the update.

Bump,

Nice to see the proof of this. Makes sense as to why Tak P herb prices are way lower across the board now after seeing this
