Herbalism is the gathering skill behind Alchemy, letting players harvest herbs found growing across Eth-Ur.
Herbalist Zaarid trains the skill at the Sojourner’s Camp in Night Harbor. A nearby herbalist sells the required Sickle and an optional Herb Pouch, and buys back excess herbs. Early levels (1–25) are best spent harvesting Lionleaf and Ghost Poppy right outside Night Harbor’s North and West Gates. The next tier — Ironroot, Nomad’s Grace, and Whispering Sage — grows in Shaded Dunes, inside the Ashira Oasis behind the sand wall illusion.
Herbs don’t follow a single named material chain the way ores or wood do — each herb is its own plant with a skill window it’s viable in. Alchemy’s Mortar and Pestle grinds nearly every herb into a matching Powder, so the herb you gather determines which potion reagent you get.
Move to a new herb once the current one stops giving skill-ups rather than waiting for it to become gray. Higher-tier herbs like Stygian Moss and Witherweed are worth farming even after you’ve leveled past them, since Alchemy consumes their Powders at every tier.
Alchemy — the Mortar and Pestle turns these herbs into Powders for potions.
Herbs are grouped by the skill level they start appearing at, sorted low to high.
