After a little break from DR myself, the new foragables have lured me back!
Unfortunately with Nirveli's departure from the realms, I have all these herb pouches that I just can't go back to selling myself. She spoiled me!
I will be happy to get into the details of how we worked our arrangement if there is a strong interest from anyone in joining into a venture with me. In a nutshell though, she would typically sell about 40-50 plat of herb pouches per RL month, and her take was 1/4 of the sales. I believe her sales were directly related to the time she spent advertising them along with a small base of repeat customers that have purchased my pouches over the years, when she had a table set up or was running an interprovincial rotue she would send out a gweth, and would move the pouches pretty quickly from there if I recall. Often, her sales efforts were on hold due to me having to make more pouches up or seasonal 'out of stock' items we had no control over.
I realize they are not as easy to store and promote as lockpicks or gweths, however they are a useful exhaustable item, and as I make a pretty high quality of pouch with my current skills, you should have happy (and repeat!) customers.
An overview of my herb pouches can be viewed at the following page, and I will update this as more foragable herbs become avaliable.

Thank you in advance to anyone interested in exploring this venture with me, I realized after working with Nirveli, I am a MUCH better alchemist than a sales woman! Best to just let the experts handle it...:P
