A different way of getting potion ingredients

I think we need some way of attracting potion ingredients to us, maybe in the form of an incense-equivalent from pogo but for ingredients, or something similar to the dark detectors but that attract ingredients instead of foundables to Inns. I don't like relying on random timing for potion ingredients to appear. I could be logged in for 10 minutes right by an Inn, and not a single ingredient will appear. Greenhouses are less common, and for the most part they give out ginger, scurvygrass, and snowdrop, maybe a bitter root or lovage once in a blue moon, rarely anything else (not counting energy). Plus they single out plant ingredients, with any other type of ingredient only ever appearing on the map randomly. I honestly don't see why Inns can't give out ingredients as well, and not just energy. Also, you can only get certain ingredients, like unicorn hairs and hermit crab shells, through portkeys, and even then they're not guarantee, making it very hard to come by them and make the potions that require them.

Alternatively, in addition to having Inns and Greenhouses, you could also add Apotheticaries, where you can collect animal-related potion ingredients, likes hairs or Re'em blood, etc. They could be more spread out so as to not clutter the map too much.

I really hope something s done about this issue, because I use up a lot of the exstimulo potions, and some of their ingredients are very hard to come by, and just waiting for them appear is very frustrating.

    I get that some are less common than others, but really, ingredients are so common that I'm forever having to empty space in my vault of excess.

    I don't really like the mechanic of having to revisit the same greenhouse to collect grown plants, but I guess that with the setup and wait mechanic already there with potions, this should be a different collection method. I haven't yet struggled enough to find things lying around that it has been worth me hanging around or sheduling a visit back to collect grown items.
