Skill Herbs
Skill Herbs are not harvested. They are found randomly when you are doing things in the game. They will appear in your inventory or herb basket, if you have one. You must have an open slot for herb to appear, otherwise it will vaporize.
There are many different Skill Herbs and there are so far 3 Tiers of Skill Herbs. Right click on the herb and you will be given a brief description as to what the herb does. The buffs given by eaten herbs will stack. To eat one, left click on the herb then click "e".
Herbs
Herbs are harvested items on [[South Winter Island]. At this time only harvested herbs are Basil and Sage both located on SWI.
To attempt to harvest an herb using your alchemy skill, equip 'Herb Picker Gloves' made from [[Jute or Bamboo] then select an adjacent herb growing on SWI. If successful, an herb will appear in inventory. It costs 4 health to harvest a herb. Basil Herb(Tier 1) spawns in multiple locations on SWI and can produce 'Basil Herb' or the rare 'Lemon Basil Herb'. Purple Sage Herb (Tier 2) spawns in multiple locations on SWI and can produce 'Purple Sage Herb' or the rare 'Yellow Sage Herb'. At this time we do not know what the skill lvl is to pick the Purple Sage Herb. Note: The picking herbs do move around as you pick them approximately about 3 squares from where the last one you picked.
Tonics are useful buffing items that count as drinks and therefore do not add poo.
Tonics
Tonics can provide any number of beneficial effects. So far we know of ones that buff your stats without Poo and increase your XP gain from certain tasks. We do know more exist but have not found them yet. A Toadwater Laxative exists but nobody knows how to make it... Maybe you can be the one who figures it out!
Steps to making a tonic
- Step 1: To make a Tonic one must have completed Toadee's Teaching Quest up until the part where you can get into Toadee's house.
- Step 2: Then you need the proper ingredients to make a tonic, a barrel churnBarrel Churns are purchased from the shop for 100 gold and the alchemy set inside Toadee's house.
- Step 3: Place the ingredients inside the alchemy set, one at a time, and then use the barrel churn on the alchemy set. If you have the right combination of ingredients you will receive a recipe for it.
- Step 4: Proceed to buy some Crude Flasks from the shop for 10,000 gold each or you can make your own under [(Mining)] and make sure you have the same quantity of ingredients used to make the recipe on hand. Highlight the recipe and press "U" to use the recipe and create a tonic.
