OK Am I doing it wrong is it suppose to dismount you and it is only used on 1 herb at a time? If so I gotta admit that is very silly. It should take like 20 or so and give you a hour buff or something.
It is quite underwhelming I agree. For my part I only put 10 KPs in that wheel for the moment for the buff ability and will come back to it when everything else is filled.
At max, it gives you 5% finesse. That’s twice the amount you get from the razorstone. If you made it last similarly, it would be overpowered. Maybe if it lasted 10 minutes and had charges.
The main problem is the cost. It only works on one gather and that makes it impractical. The current price of empowered mulch is 189.6 g to buy the mats. Even if you proc finesse on the most expensive herb, the results are not worth those mats.
At least the explorers banner of herbology from DF was a persistent item so you only had to pay the cost once. Give it charges and let it last longer and it would be fine.
