I agree for some points
Before, it was too long, and now, it's too easy. You only need to find 2 good herbs that produces flux and you don't ever need to search for the others.
It was maybe necessary to make it easier, but wow, it's a litte too much now. For the game, it could be good (the difficult of farming flux was a real barrier for most players), but it gives no more interest for the herbalist carrier.
