Herbal lore bugged?

[Avalyon el'Hattarr]

I am trying for 3 days and i still didn't got any lvl-ups.. what the heck? i don't have a big skill, only light blue. Someone told me that from now on i need to use the stikle.. well, it only works on farmland and fir trees but with no impact on skill, whatsoever.

[Azuros]

it works...if you use sickle on land it should say that you either find nothing or an herb appears on a random tile

Ohrly? The key is you only learn if you find something, I'm guessing that your not finding much. You'll need about 166+ sucesses to reach your skillcap. Also consider there aren't going to be many herbs in late fall-winter. Also you might just be having crappy luck.

I only get the "you found nothing message".. except for the farmland.

I guess that my luck sucks. I get 1-2 plants after 40-50 clicks LOL

Try using flowers and ferns.

OHH! Rest assured you'll still gain skill from shift-clicking plants for now. I meant higher levels (green or more) have to use the sickle+ground.

[Mark Strongarm]

my skill is light blue.... I have searched a good 10000 times on shift clicking plants so I can't gain skill that way thats for sure. I have used the sickle and gathered about 50 herbs successfuly on farm land as well as gathered 100 saplings from a fir tree without a skill gain. I'll try a little more but 160+ success with a sickle?!?! I succeeed about 1 in 4.... attempting this is going to give me carpel tunel. This issue has been raised many times, do 'something' , pleasssse.

[Nop]

What is your chars perception?

[Lennier]

It does not really work and get changed - i hope with the update of the crafters.

Do not try to get herbs by using the sickle with the ground. Use plants at different grounds. But notice, that there are heavy differences in seasons. Some herbs you only can get in spring, other in summer or in the other seasons.

[Mark Strongarm]

the chars perception is 12. Thank you Lennier this update can't happen soon enough. Right now about 2 hours rl lets me gather enough herbs to make only a few attempts in alchemy.

Thanks

Also consider there aren't going to be many herbs in late fall-winter.

after playing a while with the seasons i have the feeling that we have 4 rl month winter and autum and 1 month spring and summer <_<

the weather and seasons need some rework. its unbalanced, very unbalanced

the time for finding herbs is far too short. and it is too often cold or very cold instead of warm or anything other

[Gro'bul]

My suggestion was, simply make all herbs findable all the time, but more plentiful in some seasons than others. I think it shuts down too much of the game not being able to find anything in winter.

[Mark Strongarm]

yeah finding herbs needs to be alot easier, right now its harder than smithing.

edit: please don't make smithing harder
