You don't need artifact casks to sell items, you can make your own or have a woodcrafter make you rundlets.

No, that just makes Apothecary even more tedious by having to worry about refills decaying. There is a reason everyone uses casks.

You don't need to have scrollracks for shops, you can enchant and make the items and sell them directly. These are convenience purchases that you are suggesting as being necessary - they aren't.

No, selling enchanted jewelry and selling a charge that customers can place on any item of jewelry are not the same things. Either way, this does not change the fact that pills can be sold from a shop cache without the need for any artifact, convenient or not.

You also don't need to spend real life money on anything since you make 20 credits a day through milestones, plus whatever other gold you raise and can buy credits off of market or through (guild/city/friends/strangers).

You obviously do not need to spend real money, and I never suggested that. I simply mentioned that to put the amount of credits required in perspective. Even if you earn them in game, that is 560 credits an Herbalist gets to spend on something else.

If you're not making enough gold, up the prices on refills. Or sell something else that has a higher profit margin when they've come into your shop for your cheap refills.

Um, no and no. You cannot raise the price of refills if everyone else is selling at a lower price, and bringing people in with cheap refills is not a viable tactic when everyone can use the directory to compare prices.

Maybe there are some problems with apothecary but boy is this all over the place.

Yeah, there are problems.
