About
- •One of four rare awakening herbs—the only way to push combat stats beyond their maximum.
- •Key alchemy ingredient: Use in stat-boosting elixirs for warriors, mages, and archers seeking competitive edges.
- •Toxic when raw: Contact causes poison debuff. Must be processed through alchemy to become medicinal.
- •Visually indistinguishable from Wild Garlic until processed—mishandling is common for new alchemists.
- •Thrives in damp forest soil, particularly near streams in temperate zones.
- •Higher demand than other awakening herbs due to potent elixir effects.
- •Works alongside Lavender, White Lavender, and Blue Lavender in awakening recipes.
Gathering Guide
- •Find behind Goldleaf Guildhouse compound, south of Hernand City near the Nas River.
- •Also grows in damp forest patches throughout Hernand and Demeniss regions.
- •Gather by hand—no tool needed. Plants glow faintly in undergrowth.
- •WARNING: Identical in appearance to Wild Garlic. Raw plant inflicts poison unless alchemically processed.
