Part three will discuss the different herb types and their uses
 
 

 
 
 

What are Herbs?

Herbs (also known as plants) are plants used to craft many different types of potions. They can be found all across the world and harvested with almost any weapon or tool. Herbs that are harvested while blooming will drop 1–3 seeds of their kind. Herbs randomly appear on their respective soil, but can also be planted in that soil with their seed.
