I've heard plenty about how the herblore update will ruin herblore, or fix it by preventing the scams, or whatever. And the truth is, I can't really say anything about it, because I really don't know. But there is one huge upside to it that nobody else seems to have realized yet. And that is bankspace.

 

 

 

Currently, I have tons of identified herbs (13 spaces) in my bank, as well as 12 stacks of unids, which include torstol. this is so I can use my anti-scam method if I ever wanted to buy high-lvl herbs. However, if my unids are all renamed "grimy tarromin" and so on, I have no need for this. I can "clean" all of my herbs, which will free up 11 sorely-needed spaces in my bank.

 

 

 

So that's my two cents. Post away.

I THINK u need the lvl to "clean" them.......

 

 

 

But i don't care realy i have my buds identify them if i can't.

 

 

 

Also i only get herbs from farming/monster drops.

Agreed, it will clear up some space, but that space seems to be filled almost as quickly as it goes :|

I dont really get the update..

 

 

 

Is it, instead of "unids" it like says the Herbs name?

I can identify every herb, so I'm happy. With a lower herblore it doesn't save you quite as much bankspace, but I think that's fair. It's like another benefit of having a high level.

Yes, but I'd much rather get that space than not get it.

That's what I think, though I can never be totally sure, thats what bts made it sound like.

I don't think that the unided herbs will automatically become ided. I believe that Jagex is just renaming the ided and unided to clean/grimy with the herb name in there. By doing so, many scams will be non-existant. For instance, say you have an unided herb. I have no idea what it is unless you id it. Now, Jagex is updating it so you can see the name of the herb before you id it, thus, grimy. Once you id it, it will become clean (ided). I could be totally off on this, but I think I am pretty close to being right.

Sweet! Now i don't have to pick up and id herbs.

That's basically the way I read it. My point is, I keep unids as placeholders in my bank incase I need them for the anti-scam method. With the update unid scamming will die out, I can clean all of my herbs and save 11 bank spaces.

This update will not affect me in terms of bank space. I identify and vial all my Ranarr+ herbs.

Unless you have very low Construction or your bank is filled with Junk,Bank Space should really not be a problem at all anyway.

That's a good point actually, it will clear up bank space. :D

The best part of this update, (the way i read it) is that I don't need to pick up so many guams when I'm killing monsters, I can just pick up high level herbs since the herbs is already named on drop.

 

 

 

Makes things much more smooth

yay no more picking up guams

Yay, faster aberrant specter tasks. (i always collect all herbs that other ppl leave on ground, so no more bad surprises and wasted 10 seconds 8-) )

I kinda hate this update since now newbies will always never leave Ranarr on the ground. :evil:

Iding herbs still give herb exp, though not much as making potions.

I have never sceen the last 2 rows in my bank have an item in them, so this doesn't really have an impact on me. The + side is that now my bank can look better by getting rid of all those unids :thumbsup:

 

 

 

A good looking bank is always hard to make :|

I don't care a lot, I keep all my herbs ID'ed and the ones I can't ID are just there un-ID'ed. Now I know what my herbs are.

I think it would be easier to keep all of your herbs "grimy" if you don't have high enough herblore. That way you can still save space and you know what herbs you have.

No, it will appear as "grimy X".

 

 

 

I know, i have the same exact situation as you...it's really. Really. really. cool

You make it sound like it's a bad thing.

 

 

 

Nevertheless, I always identify my herbs anyway, so I will gain no extra bankspace from this.

Does anyone know if they will change all the unids in your bank to "grimy" or whatever? i would keep them just in case they become another discontinued item :-w

Yea, You'll probably need the level to clean them. Its basically the same as Identifying the herb (which needs a certain level) but the difference is you know what the herb is beforehand. I know that as soon as the update comes out, people will be making a fuss over some tiny reason. I honestly cant think of a single reason to complain, unless the ranter is an herb scammer or likes the "surprise" of identifying an herb.

i don't think its gonna say like "grimy rannar" i think it will be more like "grimy herb" and then you clean it to find out what it is.

I think the current system is fine, this is unecessary complication. If you know how to avoid scams now then it is fine. It's easy enough. Soon this game will be like most others - no freedom, you have to stay within the game boundaries.
