    As a player who has been playing DRK for quite a while, i can really feel the damage to my eyes/mesos whenever i am trying to play with berserk up
    paying a lot of attention to my hp whenever i am running ginseng roots
    or getting poor from burning reindeer milk/melting cheese while everybody else is spamming ginger ales (sorry for being poor T_T)

    so how will making npcs sell honey help?
    well the 30% healing gives more breathing space to not over heal when trying to berserk, and the price (from hiddenstreet the sell to npc price is 750, so the npc sale price should be 1500) makes it affordable for poor players like myself (sorry for starting mapleroyals on a DRK instead of BS)

    as for game balance, i don't think that it will affect too much, as the only change it makes to the game is to allow DRK more breathing space (while not getting poor) without buffing the class in broken ways

    as for breaking the potion economy (???????)
    honey - 1500 mesos (following hiddenstreet), 50mesos/ %hp&mp
    ginseng root - 2100mesos, 52mesos/%hp&mp
    ginger ale - 3800 mesos, 50.67mesos/%hp&mp

    i don't think that that the difference of under 5% would change break the game economy

    just in case there is a question on which potion shop to sell it, i would say lock it to one shop in the game, maybe at NLC (so that its as accessible as ginger ales and ginseng roots) or leafre (looks more fitting as a location i guess)

    Since Sophia of Perion is the one making the honey, maybe she should be the only one selling it? And maybe it should only be available after completing her quest.

    As for the issue at hand, I'd say that even if DKs are probably the job who pays the most for pots, pots is still a manageable cost. If you train at a normal training spot you should obtain equips and stuff which you can sell more more than the pots will cost you.
    Or maybe you are mostly bossing? Then the meso income is much lower of course.

    worrying about running out of money for pots... jeez i cant remember the last time i was that dead broke gg. pot loss is at MOST 10m an hour for you, thats less than half what you get from npc at tot, plus you vote everyday for free 40m a day, thats 4 hrs of training.

    As a fellow DK I wouldn't mind this at all, however I don't think it's a big issue. Pots aren't that expensive, the money is easily made up from drops. I mainly want it just for easy use to upkeep berserk.

    Berserk control is way easier in new source with 50% trigger compared to 40% in old source. Introduction of 30% pot may save few pennies for normal grinding but it'll barely make any difference in boss runs as manual potting is inevitable for effective berserk control.

    It would feel great to heal 30% as a DrK so I'm in full support! I imagine it would be a very easy addition into the game so it could be implemented very quickly. Plz add!!!
