	Since an item worth 60,000 gp can be obtained by anyone with a lock and a field where the stuff grows (because word is gonna get out when something like that shows up for sale nearby) can locate it given a little time wandering around, this is just unacceptable for a game to include. Everything is just so crazy here. This needs some sort of overhaul.

Slavic scholar (of game balance) chiming in

I have to ask - why is this not an artifact? You've listed no price for it, it is incredibly good to have, and any spellcaster with access to a few free skill points and 2nd level spells can potentially grow that stuff for commercial (or hell, personal) use. I think the item is pretty awesome conceptually, but your rules implementation leaves an awful lot to be desired - on many fronts. - MisterSinister (talk) 19:53, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

The price? It's supposed to be near-impossible to find, so the price would be very high, but I don't really know any good way to arrive at a precise value. --Luigifan18 (talk) 20:00, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

And yet, as I have mentioned already, any dork wizard of 3rd level and a few spare skill points can (according to your own writeup, no less) can grow that stuff for commercial distribution. It not having a price is somewhat absurd given this. Unless you're positing a world without 3rd level spellcasters. - MisterSinister (talk) 20:59, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey, my name is Rob Steel, I'm a thief! Actually, that sounds like bragging. I'm really just a first level commoner with 1 rank in Open Lock. Whenever I need any raskovnik, I just grab a lock, tie it to a stick and take a walk in the woods, dragging the thing through clover until "click!" happens. Makes my day every time. --Ganteka Future (talk) 22:07, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

That makes you an incredibly clever commoner. Most people wouldn't think of that. It certainly never came up in the myths surrounding the raskovnik, as far as I'm aware. As is, you'd have to have a crazy-high search skill or be one of the creatures with a racial bonus in order to have any chance of finding it conventionally. If the DM allows a stunt like that, go for it.

As for the the spell... again, I'm not sure how to change that - wait a minute... actually, I do. Be right back. --Luigifan18 (talk) 22:44, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Well, actually, it's essentially the same trick as the last one listed on Wikipedia. --Foxwarrior (talk) 23:04, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

But it doesn't involve elder abuse. --Luigifan18 (talk) 23:28, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
