Foraging
English | Deutsch | français | magyar | Türkçe |
Foraging Skill
Skill Tuitions
Skill may be acquired at Level 2 for the following resources at the School of Worship:
- 300 Thorns
- 30 Cactus Sap
Rank Two may be acquired at Level 9 for the following resources at the School of Worship:
- 7 Ashoka
- 7 Fumitory
- 7 Ilex
- 7 Orange Sweetgrass
- 7 Pulmonaria Opal
- 7 Sweetsop
- 7 Yellow Tristeria
It allows for Foraging Memory (see below).
How to Forage
Clicking on an herb will give its name as "some kind of herb". If you have the foraging skill (level 1), you also have a menu "Foraging...". If you harvest the herb correctly you'll get 1-7 herbs in your inventory and the plant will disappear. You can look up the correct forage method for all the known herbs on the list of herbs below.
Foraging Memory
Once you learn foraging degree 2 (after level 9) aka "Foraging Memory" you can memorize the forage methods of herbs, and never have to look them up again! To memorize a foraging method you must successfully forage that herb 7 times, without fumbling in-between those successes. If you fumble the herb on forage number 6, the counter resets, and you must successfully forage it another 7 times. Eating an herb fresh off the ground does not interfere with the memorization counter.
Once you memorize the forage method for an herb, the sub-menu of forage method options will disappear, and it will be replaced with a menu option that says, for example, "Forage this Wild Lettuce."
Herb Seeds
The Herbiculture technology gives a chance to gather Herb Seeds when you forage a herb. Using the Herbal Exploration technology, you can find Aqueduct Towers to grow the seeds at.
Foraging Guide
Some herbs are rarer than others. See Herb Rarities for more details. Also, unforaged herbs are needed for the Test of the Ritual Tattoo. If you find an herb (especially a rare one) which somebody needs for that test (list found at Ritual Tattoo Herb Needs), it would be a kind act to let them know rather than harvesting it yourself.
Outside Sites
There have been concurrent and independent updates to tlanthil's Herb:aList page by members of the community.
Herb:aList for T6 - Has been released by Rogarian as an alternate community supported version.
Herb:aList5 (more info) is a T5-updated version of tlanthil's herb identification page. The foraging methods on this page are confirmed and verified carefully, rather than being freely editable. --No longer accessible - Mydnight.
Harvesting
There are twelve different ways to harvest the herbs:
- Cut away the outer stem
- Harvest the Root pith
- Trim the Root fibres
- Snip the leaf stems
- Peel back the stem base
- Scrape off the stem pith
- Remove the Tap Root
- Pick out the seeds
- Crush the stems
- Pluck the leaves
- Squeeze out the sap
- Scrape away the leaf hairs
List of Herbs
Upload your image to the wiki and add a link like [[Image:Newherbs%24tagetese.jpg|thumb|256px|Tagetese]] in the third column. That will automatically resize the picture to a width of 256 pixels, independent of the size of the uploaded picture. Please turn off Time-of-day-lighting to make the images comparable, and drop a grass beside the herb before taking the shot to illustrate the size of the herb. See Help:Herb_Image for more information.
also please keep in mind that its the HERB people want to get a good look at not you Hamboning!
(the herb will be relatively bigger in the thumbnail if it is only the herb in the cropped image.)
Examples:
- Known: {{Herb_Image|Blue Bottle Clover|Peel back the stem base|_SingleLeaf|_Blue|_Clover}}
- UnKnown: {{Herb_Image|Unknown|NOT 1,2|_MultiLeaf|_Yellow|_Striped}}
Don't add links to paysites like photobucket, this page is used very frequently and will very quickly use up your download capacity.
Please make sure the images you upload are from T6 or T5, and not from earlier, as many of the colors have shifted dramatically
How to use this table:
If more than one foraging method is listed, then try one. If it works, edit the entry to remove all the other options. If it fails, edit the entry to remove the method that failed. Eventually the only method left should be the correct one. Questions? /chat merek in game.
