In honor of 4/20, I've added a botany mechanic, see below for the example.

We've provided some seeds you can buy to immediately take advantage of this. They are on sale at the florist in Timaran. These allow you to plant and grow herbs for cure blindness and sanctuary, which take four hours (real time) to finish. Its completely up to our builders, although you can only plant 5 seeds at a time.

Example:
Code:

You have created some metallic seeds!

>plant seed
You plant some metallic seeds in the ground.

(this action hides the item so nobody can see or take it.  some time passes and then its revealed. After that time passes, anybody can steal it!)

Some metallic seeds grows into a marvelous herb.


You might want to set these up before you actually need them. They take a while to complete, so its a slow but steady way to gather resources.

Builders specify a spell level, name, and duration required to finish growing.

What's to stop people from creating armies of human warrior alts to plant them everywhere for their main?

At a kind of high level, the bother of walking to Timaran is the main factor I planned on. That's why its over there. Its a lot of moves for a newb and its annoying to do. I'm not in the business of building Golden Gate bridge-like suicide traps.

It would also fall under HELP MULTI so, if a level 1 human warrior were to be caught doing that, newbie bans would be the preventing factor. Multiing has been essentially impossible since 2005-ish onwards. I don't advise trying that method for herb gathering. You'll get caught and if you don't expres regret or remorse, you'll get site-banned. That's not any different to multi of any other eq.
