Tradeskill: Herbalism

Updated December 27, 2010

Herbalism is used when a Player Character (PC) wants to use natural herbs and plants to create beneficial herbal preparations, which can provide non-magical, short-term effects for the user.

Tool Needed: Herbalist's Pouch (can be purchased from Morty inside Bluebeard's Tower in Valorian's Vale)

You can use the herbs in the pouch to put together various herbal preparations, which can be used by any PC. If you have enough herbs, a d100 (%) skill check is made against a difficulty based on the preparation being made. If successful, you gain a that preparation and can use it any time. If unsuccessful, nothing happens (but you still lose the herbs, since they are "used up" when you try to make something with them).

You can restock an herbalist's pouch if you turn on the "small items collecting" option via the VC command ;;option collect and go walking around forests and swamps, or by visiting Morty again and purchasing a refill from him.  The pouch's "unique power" property does nothing, but if placed in a quickslot it will show how many herbs remain in the pouch.

Generally, the more expensive in terms of herbs used up, the more difficult a preparation is to make. The easiest is Fool's Weed, the most difficult is Troll Weed.

As this skill is used, you may improve in it. On a successful skill use, there is a 10% chance you will gain a  1% improvement. This can build up to a 100% over time.
