The Small Manisi Plant is not used for the Necro Epic. A different drop off the same mob is used for the Necro Epic - Manisi Herb.
The Small Manisi Plant is a great item for Soloing. It summons stacks of bandages (20) that are only 0.1 wt.
This item has been through a number of revisions. Originally, the item dropped and had no effect. The next day, harvest leaves was added, and you could get bandages that were tradable. Then it was nerfed (to powerful I guess) and the leaves (bandages were made No Drop.
I was pretty lucky to get one when it originally dropped. I tossed it in the sack and then saw the upgrade (effect added) on Allakhazam two days later. I was a happy monk.
Grats to anyone else that got one. I know after the bandages went no drop that people were camping the mobs pretty hard to no effect. As far as I know, I have the only plant on Lanys.
heh i'm pretty sick of monks thinking everything should go to them, but this time lol... A monk with maxed bind wound skill and 3 aa points can bandage to 100%, monk + fungi + vox/naggy bag + this plant = yeah

Accorging to SOE, the decision to make the tinkered guaze press have charges was made because "anything that summoned unlimited bandages, except the procing knife, had long since been removed from the game" So, I am guessing that this no longer drops :(
Manisi Herb is for the necro epic...it has no stats or effect. Small Manisi plant is something completely different :). Have gotten many herbs to drop but no plant *sigh* Oh well =/Both Manisi Herb and the Small Manisi Plant drop off of Grand Herbalist Mah'Ka.

It is quite rare so IMO a necro should take priority in looting this item. After that it is a VERY nice item for those classes that use bind wounds alot when solo.
It is particularly useful for people who (A) Can't heal themselves without bandages, (B) solo well, and (C) can bind wounds to 70% or higher. I don't know what other classes this might include, but I know that (dare I say it?) monks fit this description very well. Of course, every six minutes we can use mend, but it would be very, very slow solo xp if we had to rely on that. Shadow Knights might fit into this category as well, although I am not sure how well they can solo after level 50.
Typically, I get twice the xp solo that I get in any but the very best of small groups (2 or 3 people). I will kill something, bind wounds, kill something, bind wounds, etc. One of my favorite zones to do this in is very out of the way and does not have bandages for sale. I really need to get off my rear-end and camp this item.
a) this item is not intended to be worn b) monks usually expend some effort in aquiring weight reducing bags - often with at least one 100% weight reducing bag c) having sufficient bandaids for a solo session would make a monk go over their weight limit (0.5 per stack) even ignoring the weight of the bags required to hold them
While I am personally pretty shy about crying "monk item", it is very clear that this particular item would be very useful to a monk, and I wish mine had one :)
