suggestion: reduce grinding roundtime

If you put a lot of herbs in a mortar the roundtime when you grind is huge: you can be frozen several minutes.

It would be nice to reduce the roundtime so you can stop early. Of course, the total amount should remain the same. Instead of 4 times of 120 seconds, it could be 48 times of 10 seconds.

You should only be able to put a few herbs into a mortar at once anyway.

I imagine the high round time is intentional, to dissuade people from grinding as many herbs as physically possible at a time.

You're getting 120 seconds. How many herbs do you have in there at once? It sounds like there are more than could conceivably fit if it's taking you that long.

I recommend grinding 1-3 herbs at a time. That's supposed to be around the capacity anyway.

You can actually kill yourself by grinding too many herbs at once.

Herb-grinding mortars now have a maximum capacity of 3 items.
per viewtopic.php?f=9&t=591&start=125

If you can put more than 3 herbs in your mortar, I think it might should be bugged, as it was announced coding change that such is not the case.

I could put 20 herbs (of the same type), so maybe there is a bug.

If the maximum is really three, then I am going to type a lot.

If you're using MUSHClient or any other client with a multi-line input (or command stacking) you could just copy and paste, or possibly make use of the command history. I do that when forging. Up up up up enter. Up up up up enter.
