The flora of Elanthia is not only beautiful, but it can also provide an abundant supply of healing herbs. Occasionally, the lucky or talented adventurer may stumble across one of the following herbs out in the wilds, and if not, they are often available for purchase.

What is foraging?

Foraging is the act of searching for herbs and plants. You can search for many different plants and medicinal herbs throughout Elanthia. Once you search for an herb or plant and you find it, you can then pick it.

Some herbs can be foraged easily and some not at all. The more training you have in perception the more success you will have when you forage. Rangers make excellent foragers.

How do I forage for plants and herbs?

First, nothing can be in your hands when you forage as you need both hands free. Next FORAGE plant name i.e. FORAGE ACANTHA. Only herbs and plants can be foraged.

Foraging has an RT and by watching the messages you can determine if the area you are foraging will have the herb you are looking for. You can forage and take a few plants from any room before it needs to "recharge".
