Hi,
Right now I'm using Cobl 1.72, with Cobl Main.esm loaded by itself. I don't use any of the other plugins because I really like the power exhaustion feature but I really, really dislike the giant stacks of new ingredients at vendors. I also have problems with duplicated MMM loot. I don't mind any of Cobl's other features. I understand that you're addressing the ingredient and loot problems in the upcoming version, but the proposal mod falls short regarding Tamrielic Ingredients.
The ingredient numbers will look a little more normal now (but there can still be a handful of 10s and 20s and even 50!). Mages guilds, Sinderion, and a few other merchants will have a wider selection of Tamerial ingredients to choose from. The Bravil Mages Guild and Arcane University now carry TI ingredients, and if you look real closely you'll find a barrel in Skingrad's Mages Guild.
1. Please don't just throw even stacks of 10, 20, or 50 ingredients on merchants. Using ranges, like 45-55 instead of 50, would be a huge improvement.
2. Stacks of 50 are pretty ridiculous in the context of existing merchant inventories. 20 is a whole lot, more than that is silly, 50 looks like I have a broken mod.
3. Why so much emphasis on adding these ingredients to specific merchants and locations? Why not just spread them naturally across existing leveled lists? Why is there a random barrel in Skingrad that's inexplicably packed with ingredients from three specific provinces that have no relation to each other?
Please consider using more reasonable amounts and placements for ingredients in upcoming versions.
