Herbalism guide

By Dienheimer

This guide is intended to help you find the effects of herbs as quickly as possible. This isn't useful when you first start out with Herbalism as you need to have discovered a few effects already to make use of this.

Basics

I recommend just using two ingredients at a time as three can be risky and may waste herbs if you're unlucky.

There seems to be an order to the list of herb effects which can help you reduce the time you spend experimenting. I've only raised the skill on one character so far so I'm limited to the cominations that character had for this pattern. It's possible this may get changed in the future.

Effects follow a specific order so the effect above or below another are limited to what the effect is and which slot it is in. The bottom slot seems to always be a "Damage" or "Lower" effect and there is never more than one of them therefore they are listed in no particular order.

The List

EFFECT--------------------------------POSSIBLE SLOT
Restore sHP---------------------------1st slot
Restore hStam------------------------1st or 2nd slot
Flux--------------------------------------1st or 2nd slot
Food flavour---------------------------1st or 2nd slot
Antidote---------------------------------1st or 2nd slot
Raise max sStam--------------------1st or 2nd slot
Raise Str-------------------------------1st or 2nd slot
Raise Agi-------------------------------1st or 2nd slot
Raise Will------------------------------1st or 2nd slot
Raise Int--------------------------------1st or 2nd slot
Raise Con------------------------------1st or 2nd slot
Naphtha---------------------------------1st or 2nd slot
Damage hHP--------------------------3rd slot
Damage sHP--------------------------3rd slot
Damage hStam-----------------------3rd slot
Damage sStam regen---------------3rd slot
Lower max sHP-----------------------3rd slot
Lower max sStam--------------------3rd slot

Example

Pitaku koro
-Unknown effect
-Flux
-Unknown effect

Based on the list you know that the first effect can only be "Restore sHP" or "Restore hStam" which are above Flux on the list and the third can only be one of the "Damage" or "Lower" effects.

Additional notes

Hopefully this helps you to finish off those herb effects once you get it started.

Also on a side note, if you are looking for pristine herbs (red ones), you can use plant fibers as a quality measurement. You are more likely to find them in a spot where you get higher quality plant fibers and as you gather herbs you also reduce the quality of the area. You'll start to see fewer pristine herbs as a result and the quality of plant fibers will drop as well.

Thank You for posting

If you add in the max number of times an effect can appear, you can use this information to help eliminate impossible combinations without having to try them.

While your admonition against testing three herbs at a time is great when you have no or very few effects know, using your table with the addition of max effect numbers you can get a huge reduction in the time taken to discover all of the possible effects of all herbs.

Using this tool I was able to very quickly and easily the missing 9th, 10th, and 11th flux herbs. Thank you very much. You should consider adding this to the official wiki.

hi guys,

i build a tool to help to sort and share the herbs to other player of my server.

You can use it if you want, just put the same server name than the other player of your server.

there are 11 herbs that give flux

Fatty 28 Oct, 2014 @ 8:53am

@carbo

it can vary. i had one character that i only found 5, my main had 7, and my third had 9.

*shrug*

Fatty 28 Oct, 2014 @ 8:52am

seems so far your theory holds up. this formula made it very easy for me to discover flux on 3 different characters w/ out wasting too many herbs. now i have enough characters that almost all herbs are either flux, sulfur, or food flavor, luls.

ty again sir.
