Does racial L1 faster herb balance stack with the L1 faster herb balance from herbalism?
Is this a decent bonus?

My understanding would be that they stack, for a net lvl2 bonus. This should (in my brain) equate to a roughly 10% faster balance. Given that standard balance is on the order of what, 2.5 seconds, you're saving 0.25 seconds. This may not seem like a lot, but if you're being afflicted with an herb cure precisely once every 2.5 seconds, you're ahead of the game and can cure out of whatever they throw at you while people without the bonus are stuck if by some twist of fate they get hit with a second affliction once every 10 seconds, which will eventually build up and... you get the idea.

Most of these numbers are wrong, though I don't have exact ones myself due to nexus.

No. Your sparkleberry bonus is, though!

Yeah, the numbers are wrong. At L1 herb bal, the time is 1.5s
So 5% shaved off THAT is tiny.
I didn't realise it would affect sparkleberry balance as well though. That is a pretty nice bonus, actually. And given the flimsy nature of my race, probably an important one.
So thanks!

If I buy from a player run shop, the gold goes to that player right?
Where does the gold go when I buy from Trader Bob?

Where does the gold come from when you get 70 gold for turning in a chicken to produce 15 gold worth of eggs?

Where does gold come from at all? Who even makes gold sovereigns?

Ah, I see it all now. Trader Bob is actually the one supplying all the villages and aether bubbles with the gold he rips off from the newbies who are looking for a quit weapon or healing/mana/bromides vial.
Second questions, are Trader Bob's vials really half full? (Never got high enough in discernment to figure that one out)

Vengeance results in peace. How long depends on how many people your target has on the victims list. For a career griefer, it's days. For me, it'd be a few minutes.
