    Desert Saffron

    When obtaining this item, the log says "You obtain a bottle of desert saffron."

    But I didn't obtain a bottle. I obtained a handful of plants.



    "It's some of them new... flower bottles."


    The helper text also implies that the image should be of a bottle as opposed to some raw flowers:
    "This spice is made from the dried style of the desert saffron flower, and gives a bright yellow color to certain dishes."
    If all the item contains of the flower is the "dried style," I'm fairly sure we're dealing with a bottle of spices, not a handful of flowers. Lastly, I think "style" should be pluralized, as well - I mean, you usually get 3 on a flower, multiple flowers on a plant, and a bunch of plants' worth in a bottle.

    Is it nitpicky? Yes.

    Did I level a class that claims to be a "Botanist?" Also yes.


    "Oh, yeah. I'm growing some bottles of rolanberry wine back at my mog house right now."

    Keep on keepin' on, LOC-squad! I'm sorry to hear about all of your voidsent brethren, thoughtlessly slaughtered during an unfortunate Atomos incident in which I allegedly had some part yet of which I admit nothing.
