Heck, since the crypt mushrooms are supposed to grow from the nutrients of a corpse, there must be enough people dying in these crypts to easily feed up our own little supply of grave molds.
That or you could just kill someone and leave them in a giant petri dish for a few weeks and get all the fungus you could ever want.
nerf what vicars do and make them every where so people dont want them anymore and stop complaining about where they are....
A certain balance? I doubt that seriously. There's plenty of zone without herbs at all and some are so overabundant that it becomes ridiculous and we toss entire BAGS of red berries or crimson lichen.
How it is so unlikely that crypt herbs would grow elsewhere where there are the same required temperature, soil etc. I doubt a few more mushrooms to replace useless ones would UNBALANCE the system.
well there are container "bodies" scattered all over, in forests, in caves, etc. It would seem reasonable that viccars cap and grave mold would grow in those areas.
Potions are supposed to be in short supply, because a well balanced party will only need them for emergency use. I'll end up using 1 to 5 potions on a maxed spawn demonologists run, to keep other people that are down from dying. Even during combat the clerics handle the healing as much as possible. The clerics and mages handle all the pre-fight buffing, the only potion the melee types end up having to use is barkskin, and you can buy those.
The coal caves are the same way, though neg energy protection potions are generally needed for the dragon.
If the hardest dungeons in game, can be done at the highest spawns, with limited potion availability, I don't see how there's an imbalance.
The player-based economy system for potions will be around forever because those on high like it.Doesn't everybody? I think it does all the things intended, in my experience at least 8)

Potions are in short supply because the decision was made to artificially create a player-based economy in the belief that it would foster RP and partying and cooperation and all around kumbaya dynamics. Whether it does any of those things is irrelevant. The player-based economy system for potions will be around forever because those on high like it.
foster RP and partying and cooperation.

No, everybody does not like it.
You're going to have to come up with a strategy for obtaining each of the rare components, and making rare components common is not going to be the answer
I believe that the original intent of the post was to not make "rare" components "common" but to at least have them someplace where a native barovian would actually have a chance to get them without having to make deals with filthy outlanders or do something as insanly stupid at crawling around in a barovian crypt.

To be fair, if they're brewing up magic potions in a cauldron, I think they can do a bit of outlander socialising.
Thing is, viccars are available year around, unlike the others.
