Alright, I've got a basic idea for a herbalism system.
First, assign various herbalists to various areas. Different regions have different herbs, like different mines do. You can have your herbalists try to find any type of useful plant, which will cause each herbalist to bring in 100 herbs per month, divided up among three or four kinds of common plants; or you can have them focus on only one kind of plant, which causes them to gather three times the normal amount of plants of that kind gathered or the normal maximum, whichever is less, but nothing else. You can give different herbalists different orders, say telling 50 to gather any plant and 25 to only gather strawberries. Some areas would have lower monthly rates of herbalism, but that should be it!
One unit of herbs is enough for a basic enchantment, except for unusually strong or mundane plants. 40 units of edible berries will feed a person for a month.
If these numbers sound okay, I'll post lists of the areas. I'd also like some ideas for magical herbs.
