i know thieves and ninjas have the ability to preserve herbs, but i do not understand why a ranger and/or druid cannot preserve as well. they are classes of nature and yet cannot preserve something created by nature. perhaps rangers should get another path to select from doing something like planting herbs and then being able to pick them after a certain amount of hours. it would be kinda cool, but it might not work at the same time. perhaps some people can give some good input here...
p.s. lets stay on topic here
Bad idea. Rangers/Druids don't need more perks. 
However, allowing Bards to preserve would not be a bad idea.
Agreed, rangers and druids are already very strong. Plus it's not that much of a pain to pay a thief/ninja to preserve some stuff for you.
re: Mudder
Bards need detect hidden more than preserve. Besides they're cityfolk, why would they know about preservation?
Yeah cause thieves and ninjas arn't city folk right?

As if ninjas and thieves weren't city folk? People saying that druids/rangers should get it because they are in a forest is not the RP reason behind thieves/ninjas getting it.
Besides, always being in the forest you wouldn't preserve herbs. You would pick them fresh. That's like living in a tropical paradise and only eating dried fruits.
And Bards don't have detect hidden because they aren't supposed to be a full rogue, and if they did they would own thieves/ninjas, and that isn't their purpose.
EDIT: Damn, psycho beat me to it!
Yea that's why you somehow editted hmm? ;D
At 12:33, just after my post. 
Bards need alot of things, preserve would be nice, so would detect hidden, but they are far from the top of the list imho. What is a the top? Uh, DOUBLE SHEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cough
Oh my god. If bards get double sheath I claim first bard. Everyone will die. Everyone. You thought Kurvikhel with 3 Travens was OP? You have no idea.
EDIT: Twinblades I was looking at the times and thought, "How the hell did he get 12." Then I realized... You're on French time. Lol
Well it says it over here. Just admit you fail and I can be done with it. ^.^
Yeah I want doublesheat on bards too 
As for the topic, why don't ranger and druid get preserve? - For balance.
How would giving them preserve even remotely balance anything? It's not a huge overpowering ability. It just means their consumables don't last as long.
Rangers already get staves. Rangers should NOT get staves.

Yes I agree with the staves statement. Preserve is quite a useful perk though.
Syntax: preserve
While those living in the forest could gather the plants as was needed,
city-dwellers were not so lucky. They found that the herbs collected
from only a few days ago would quickly rot away into useless dirt.
A solution was quickly found by the Thief and Ninja Guilds. Today,
they are the only ones who know how to preserve drugs.

Any questions?
Rangers get staves so they can sanc their pets. Duh. How else are they going to not get wtfpwnt by aoe dmg?
You don't need that skill to sanc your pets.
