Herbalists hut Spawning too far away.

[Chicken biscuit]

I've been wondering if the devs know about how far the herbalists hut can spawn from any village.
If you get a bad spawn it sucks cause you know getting there is gonna suck with less medical supplies.
Anyone know if its been reported that it can spawn really far away?

Agree
My current game's herbalist spawn is "20" tiles NE away from Manshire.

Feeling the same. It can spawn in the middle of nowhere half-way across the map sometimes.

Mine was about 9-10 tiles west of Mannshire
Yeah pretty fa for sure

Don't really see the issue with camps being so abundant... You can force reveal its location with the quest, and stock up accordingly? Verren can take you to Osbrook, or you can hand him 1000 gold, wrap up the questing in Brynn and unlock Tott.

Edit: My current game's herbalist spawn is three tiles away from Osbrook.

It has spawned at the edge of the map north of Osbrook before. 2 tiles next to it was a distant dungeon lol.

True. Sometimes it's spitting distance away, sometimes million miles. Long distance are little implausible - how could the priest even know about the herbalist then? Hope they fix it in next patch to be max 5 or 6 tiles away.

It's a one time quest with no time limit or deadline. The Priest in Mannshire will sell healing items after you get the Herbalists' book. Just plan your journey accordingly, there's POI's along the way so it's not all boring B-Line to the hut.

I understand that its not difficult to get there, Just that it takes so much time.
For something so important as getting an actual stock of healing supplies you'd think it'd be closer.

I wont mind it being 10 or so tiles away, but I'd like the distance to be consistant.
I've had games where the hut was 3 tiles away, and my current run has it 20 tiles away, thats not a small trip for a new character.

I understand that, I'm not saying its difficult. I've got enough hours on this game to not be troubled getting there.

Dude, I have plenty of hours in this game, I've played it enough to know that.
My problem with it is it's annoying to have to do that on some characters, and not others.
If the devs want to make it A HUNDRED TILES, I don't care, just do it for every character.

When they decided to keep most medical supplies in Mannshire locked behind this side task, they made it not exactly required, But pretty needed to go do this task first before any contracts.
I'm fine with that if it took around the same time to do it every time, but it sucks to take a long trek I don't want to take, just to be able to buy medical supplies.

Yeah, I had it 15 tiles from Mannshire and 17 tiles from the Oaken Barrel Brewery in my latest run. It was a bit much. 10 seems fair.

My issue with this is just that it seems unintended - it says in the description of the camp that it is "less than a day from Mannshire" and it often is not. I hope the devs notice and patch because it's slightly annoying and unpredictable, and I think it's supposed to be less of an undertaking.
