Herbalism — What grows where

A herb's rarity depends on where it grows. Root Tendrils, for instance, are common in a Swamp but uncommon in the Mountain Woods, where you need rank 10 and a Sickle to pick them. If you're after one herb in particular, find where it's common.

Climate	Patches	Common	Uncommon	Rare
Swamp	10	Root Tendrils, Root Bulb, Green Leaves	Bamboo	Black Poppy
Rainforest	10	Bamboo, Green Berries	Ginkgo Leaves, Fig, Red Flowers	White Rose
Woodlands	8	Green Leaves, Clover, Red Flowers, Yellow Flowers	Red Berries, Yellow Berries, Red Rose, Yellow Rose, Red Poppy	Golden Poppy, White Poppy
Haunted Woodlands	8	Twigs, Root Tendrils	Black Rose, Black Poppy	Ginkgo Leaves
Subtropical	8	Palm, Aloe, Yellow Flowers	Fig, Bamboo	Golden Poppy
Mountain Woods	6	Pine Branch, Clover, Green Berries	Root Tendrils	White Rose
Desert	6	Cactus, Twigs	Aloe, Palm	Golden Poppy
Mountain	4	Pine Branch, Twigs	Root Bulb	White Poppy

Patch counts are per map square per day. Swamps and rainforests offer shorter walks; Woodlands offer the widest variety.

Source	Effect
Witnessed ground	Required for rare herbs; about 1 patch in 5 there is rare
Marches	Yield bonus on witnessed ground
Harvest Tide	+25% yield for the week
Blight Tide	−25% yield for the week

See Mining for witnessed-ground rules.

Herb reference values set writ payments. Player sale prices vary. Rarity is measured where the herb is most common.

Rarity	Reference value (silver)
Common	1
Uncommon	2
Rare	5

Ginkgo Leaves and Black Poppy have a 2-silver value because they are uncommon in some climates, despite being rare elsewhere. White Rose, Golden Poppy and White Poppy have a 5-silver value.

Food	Where found
Oranges	Deserts, subtropics, swamps and rainforests
Apples	Other climates
Mushrooms	Any climate
Eggs	Any climate

A search yields 1–3 pieces, with lower yields in deserts, mountains and subtropics, and in Woodlands during winter. Food keeps in Stores and has a 1-silver reference value; player sales still need a buyer.
