Answer: (i) Bases don't have innate stats, like others do. For example, there could be a herb that has an attribute of 'Poison +2' or 'Poison -1' or 'Poison 0', but bases are always 'Base -'.
(ii) Two or more different bases create a special effect. The exact type of effect should either be deduced (which is probably impossible) or found out through research.
Therefore, 2 snowberries does nothing, but 1 snowberry and 1 Weeping herb does something.
(iii) Not including a base at all makes the potion... !!FUN!!.
(iv) 2 bases and 3 bases have a different special effect.

Fluff-wise, bases catch and stabilize the power of other herb effects. This effect can especially be observed in bins of old herbs - the bins with base herbs have more herbs that are still viable, while the bins without base herbs are just bitter leaves.

Is there a cementery in town? The owner could try gathering some herbs there.

"I think I've found a suitable answer to your idea before, Eri!"

Nara scribbled a few notes alongside the murky pink potion on the list, in her belief that size is in direct relation to the effect.

"Guinea Pigs - Dangerously affected.
Humans - Most probably not that dangerous.

Frawda Flowers seem to multiply in potency per flower. Use sparingly."


((Suggestion, everyone use a color code for OWNER suggestions. A simple Navy maybe?))


Naming:

Clear potion of health - Weak Health Potion
Rose-scented navy potion of weak poison - Vermin Killer (Toxin)
Murky white potion of aphrodisiac and addictiveness - Touch of the Nymph
Murky pink potion of excitement and health - Cupid's Kiss
2 murky red potions of aphrodisiac and petrification. - Lover's Bane

Action: Test the Vermin Killer on one of the luckily captured rats caught earlier.

Peter's eyes glazed over as he remembered the incident with scraps, and a single tear ran down his cheek. He shook himself from his reverie and tested his new potion on a guinea pig with a white paw, like one as scraps had...

Test potion on a random guinea pig!

I think I'm going to need to do more gathering...

What are you thinking? I'm thinking selling this to wealthy nobles who will give it to their slaves who will drink it, turn into statues and become garden decor.

Nara feeds a whole bottle of the Vermin Killer to a field mouse. It immediately rolls over and dies.



Peter feeds a couple drops of his cloudy white potion to a random guinea pig. It pipes, 'Mildly addictive! Tastes bitter!'.



Kyrby goes ahead and gets more herbs!


[1] The salamanders nip you furiously!
[3] Kyrby bats them off.
[4] He then proceeds to smack them into submission.
[5] salamanders are collected, along with
[9] Basilisk herbs.
[1] He again fails to notice any more herbs and comes back home.



EDIT

The owner collects herbs.
[15] herbs.
[6] kinds, [2] of which are already discovered ones. You find Frawda flowers and Snowberries, and discover Aidroot, Picasu berry, Fool's herb, and Death's Touch mushroom.



Today is the 4th of Troubard (month 1). It is raining. There are many flies today. The lord collects taxes on the 28th.


Untested potions

Eri's clear, pink potion (x2 concentration)
Peter's cloudy white potion

Concede to the will of the Owner.

Attempt to breed the guinea pigs. Those that had a taste of the Aphrodisiac. But after a while, so no artificial discrepancies are added.
