Botany

Gathering skill

Botany is the herb-gathering skill: picking wild herbs and cleansing them for use.

Alpha guide. Botany's mechanics are implemented in the engine but no herbs are released yet. Herb tables will be added here when the skill enters Alpha content.

Designed mechanics

Herbs are picked from patches in the world where they grow. A picked herb is grimy and must be cleansed — an instant action from the backpack — before use. Both steps grant Botany XP, with picking worth roughly three times the cleanse. Cleansed herbs are inputs for brews and for Warding reagents.

All skills use the same experience curve. Level 100 is skill mastery (955,336 XP); level 999 is legendary mastery (253,245,203 XP). See the experience table for the full curve.

Tip. Cleansing is separate XP from picking — herbs bought or traded grimy can be cleansed for experience.
