Hello, I have a couple of quick alchemy pricing issues:

1) Yarrow: It is used in 1 potion, potion of lesser rejuvenation(skill 37). For some reason it costs ~650 plat, making the total cost of this potion several times higher than plain rejuvination (72p) and greater rejuv(132).

2) Balm Leaves: Also used in only 1 potion: Dulsehound which is a combine with hill giant toes. It is also not sold in Halas and it should be. Balm leaves sell for 66plat each. For comparison the combine item with Ice Giant Toes and Cyclops Eyes is Bugbane (7gold). The combine item with Griffon wings is Fever Few (35p) and the combine with Fire giant toes is not sold in Halas, I do not know the price but it is called Dragonwort. It should be sold at the NK Gypsies. There should probably be some similarity in price of all of these components.
I am wondering if the higher level rejuvenation ingredients are priced too low? I remember that these potions were always quite expensive to make, and to most players, the effect simpy was not worth it. It seems like the current 600 plus platinum cost is a bit high, but I will have to look around to see what I can find about ingredient costs.

Balm leaves are supposed to be sold only from gypsies, I believe, so they should not be available in Halas. Also, there were some ingredients added with Kunark, was Dragonwort one of these? I have been having trouble running down which ingredients were post-Kunark.
