How exactly can you increse this skill? I just used to "pick up" plants (with no effect) until someone told me that you need to "use" them on the groud. I tried that but nothing happened

Some plants that you shift click to use increase herb lore I think. When you shift click a plant that's fixed you might get something like "You find nothing but dry leaves and grass", I think this is herb lore. And a successful search would be when you use the plant and something is put into your inventory.

I don't think dragging things from the ground into your inventory will increase the skill.

shift click palm trees in varshikar near the oasis

Shift click reeds in the river to find sibanac.

Shall we let him find out the ingame things ingame?

Naw, herb lore is pretty non-productive craft anyway. At some point your char won't learn from shift+clicking plants anymore, you'll have to use sickle+ground.

okay thatnks everyone

i am at the point where i can't learn anything at this skill... i shift+click on plants countless times without any result. So i'd bought a sickle, but i don't really know how to use it.. do i "use with" any part of the ground or just plants like until now?

Sickle doesn't do anything, or so Nitram told me.

so how exactly do i increase my herb lore from now on?

Not. O_o

Use a sickle on the fir trees. You get saplings!!! If you can farm you can plant them...if not do not even try because it is hard.

It's not hard 0.o
Takes time only time and buckets.

unless your a good farmer like me then it is easy

I think that the topic was about herb lore not farming hehe

Nitram knows alot but he's wrong in this case, I can still find herbs on farmland!

you can, but i think you can't increase your skill by this.

you have to use those landscape objects called "Flowers" not the ones you can pick up, though

(and about the sickle, don't know...don't think it increases any skill)

It does, you cannot gain skill after a certain point just using landscape herbs. The key is you HAVE to find a herb to gain skill, otherwise you won't get anything from it. The only tiles I can find herbs on is farmland.

I've tried gathering saplings and things in farm land with the sickle as well as gathering from every log, tree, flower, and grass patch around. I don't seem to be getting any better at herb lore whatsoever.

Futhermore places I used to be able to collect things at a decent rate have become about 10 times harder.

I've heard with fighting, creatures have different 'levels' and once you get to a certain skill,l level 1 monters don't help you learn. If this is true and there is a similar case with herb lore? Can we have dev confirmation that there is some way to develop skill in herb lore past a certain point. My skill is teal right now. I have tried about 1000 tries I wager without a skillgain.

I think it also depends on how high you are already with your skill.

You cannot gain skill by simply using things after a certain point, it must be gained with sickle after that point. Static objects like plants no longer have a infinate amount of resources, and ground tiles are 20 plants per 20 tiles. I guess theres problems with sickle+ground everywhere except farmland, even then, you must have sucess to gain skill. It is however possible to gain skill through fails at static resources. I don't know whats up with the rest of the tiles concerning sickle+ground.

I just disturb bees and get herb lore up...

There used to be (or still are) three ways to get herbs.

1. The "Gaya- system", which drops herbs anywhere onthe ground where you just have to pick them up. No skill used or increased here.

2. Use sickle with ground and herbs will appear randomly around you. The devs want to get rid of this system.

2. Use sickle with landscape objects.

Nitram said this was already gone. O_o

You can use sickle to gather herb? How? I use all possible ways, yet no result.

It takes more attempts... not just 5 or 6.

Use the sickle with the ground

use the sickle on farmland if your herb lore is not that great but decent, i started herb lore with flowers and such, then move onto sickle+farmland then sickle and other places hope this helps

To use the sickle on ground does not really work! Its bugged. Use the plants at different tiles (without sickle). Notice, that it depands on seasons if you can find something.


In not far future, i hope, we have to use the sickle in front of plants. It will be a bit easier than today.
