Previously, affable brokers would use retooled objects when someone would turn in 5 vials/ 4 syrups or cure fears, meaning someone would potentially lose all if there was a crash.
Also, given that herbs take up storage space, another imm felt it was a good idea to then at least bundle potions.
As such, the deft herbalist will package 4 or 5 potions, depending on the potion, and turn it into the following:
1. a pouch of draughts
2. a pouch with red potions
3. a pouch of syrup cups
4. a pouch of thready teas
5. a pouch of vials
These pouched weight and cost the same as their equivalents in potions, they will just take up one storage slot, instead of 4 or 5.
Given the room that was created by pulling this mobol off the affable brokers, there will be enough room to add thready tea and bubbling draught trading to them, in the near future.
