Thank you for the Apothecary Satchels!

covenant_merchant

Credit goes where credit is due. Thank you very much for implementing the apothecary satchels. The drop rate of valuable alchemy mats seems reasonable and fair, and it gives a new hope to PvPers who were tired of grinding in PvE only to buy over-priced and hoarded columbines from a few select vendors, most of whom abused the Alchemy Crafting Writ loophole back when it still doable.
Finally a reason to dust off Imperial Physique and go back to the City!

Ironically last night I decided to hit the city, just before maintenance. Farmed 80k stones, I forgot how much fun it was down there, particularly when there's decent fights on top of the grind.

Would rather be AP.

Pchela

Yes thank you so much! I had a pile of stones sitting around doing nothing and I'm an avid potion seller and flower hoarder. Was pleasantly surprised at how many came in each satchel.

watched Jarjar check it out on his stream, very cool for all the people who want to PVP and stay in Cyrodil/Imperial City instead of PVE zones

Thanks, ZOS! All we need now is something good to spend our AP on and we're set.

Hearing interesting results for 500TV a pop. Well played ZoS.

18 regents per sachel, comes in groups of 3's

Chuga_Rei

It's not always 18. But I have gotten single satchels with 6 columbine. It's amazing. I spent 50k stones and literally made 1200 pots and can make plenty more.

This is amazing. Thank y'all Zos! Thank you for listening! I agree we need AP rewards like this, and something with tempers but my god this is great.

I'm quite glad the alchemy nightmare is over

What are apothecary satchels? I've never heard of them before.

I know what they are now. After some patch note investigations.

Apothecary’s Parcels (Imperial City DLC Game Pack)
We’ve introduced Apothecary's Parcels to certain merchants in the Imperial City, enabling you to purchase herbs and other reagents in exchange for Tel Var Stones.

Can anyone post some pictures of what these satchels look like?
What are the prices?

This is a game changer for me honestly. I really hate flower picking and this seems like a great way to get some potions.

it's a bag filled with 18 (i think) random flowers generally 6 sets of 3, and it costs 500 tel'var for each bag. Tel'var is essentially more than a 1:1 tv:gold ratio.

Lucky28

yes. an awesome addition

Stoopid_Nwah

never having to run circles around the hollow city is just too amazing.

Minalan

Finally. Something to spend all of these TV stones on. I don't thank you ZOS people often, but her goes. Thank you ZOS!

Well... farming stones is a grind for SOMEONE. It doesn't have to be YOU. I umm... found about about 40K that someone carelessly misplaced a few weeks back. You can always find someone that needs... help carrying so many stones. Such a burden you know.

I wonder if columbine finally drops off from 500 gold per.

GUNzales

I can't seem to find the satchels on Xbox NA. Can anyone on Xbox let me know where they are located pls. I've seen players on PC get them at the general Tel Var merchant but it's not on Xbox there.

I guess it would be a good idea to head into IC and gank some stones.

Columbines already dropped to 420 in one night on PC EU. And stacks of tristat from 23k to 19.8k. I know some pretty sad flower queens now

Etaniel

Farmed 140k stones in a little more than an hour yesterday, I'm so glad the hollow city grind is over !
Plus it revives small scale pvp in IC, since there will always be a couple people needing to grind flowers for PvP, and it's not worth it for zergs.

Great addition to the game ZOS !

ArpamiesFin

When will this awesomeness hit consoles?

ManDraKE

I didn't see this change on the patch notes. Any other changes made to IC?

I finally have a real reason to go into the IC and earn Telvar.

Just go to IC and farm some stones! I got about 5k last night just looking for other players.It will come eventually.

Manoekin

You get a lot more rage tells in IC I've noticed. A lot of angsty teenagers that will just spam res in the district and attack you again two seconds after they just died because they won't let you leave until they get at least one kill. Had one guy even tell me I should never talk about small scale ever again cause he thought it would be a good idea to be solo in the districts with a build that didn't have enough escape. Good times in there.

Im up to 55k stones, i'll be at 200-300k before it releases on console

How many flowers is that? im going to need to invest into waters.

It's gonna suck crafting all these, give console multi craft!
