The real reason that the market for Herbs is so much better than the market
for metals is that alchemy is a consumable resource.

A Blacksmith will go farm for a while, make his big piece, then stop
farming.

An Alchemist has to *constantly* farm herbs to keep stock. Especially in
the big raiding guilds. Figure out what potions the big guilds are
consuming a lot of, figure out what herbs they need, and go to town.

Icecap, Dreamfoil, Mountain Silversage, Golden Sansam, Plaguebloom. 12-20g
a stack, every time. There's no such thing as too much Dreamfoil, it will
*always* sell.
