Ahhh THE's.... they are infact the devil
Bur flagging can be done in about 1 hour tops. And the short jog to the entrance portal can lead to some plants.
I have the process cut down to 1 page in my Lightweight Tome (the only truly useful thing from Mage Armor Quest).
Getting Bur Recall much more complicated, as you need to save Asheron (or tag along and just grab the final piece), and then defeat some Virndi to prove Krovas is evil.
The alternative way to get shrooms and shroom parts is to hunt Thrungus, there is a high level dungeon in the mountains behind Fuins I think, and in the lower level of Fuins is a side area filled with shroom people. Sometimes you end up with a whole mushroom thou, and you still have to goto Bur to have those cut into the 3 parts.
Alternatively if I remeber correctly, you can setup MakeIt! to use a recovery item. Rations (another thing I hate) are readily available and cheap. It might cut into your margins, but it can speed it up.
