Once you've acquired the basics, you're ready to go. Herbalism requires no additional items to use. Be
sure to keep a lot of empty bag space for all the herbs you're about to pick up. If you get a lot of
extra herbs that you can't use, you can store them in the bank or sell them to other players.
After you have learned the beginning-level herbalism, you will gain the "Find Herbs" ability, which will display
nearby herbs as yellow dots on your mini-map. To use it, simply drag the icon down to your action bar and
press the corresponding button. Be sure to pay attention to keeping it
active; otherwise you may miss important plants!
If while adventuring you spot a yellow dot on your mini map, you've found a plant! Move your cursor over
to your mini-map and hold it over the dot. A small window will appear and display the name of the plant.
If you decide you want to harvest it, begin running toward it. Watch out for any monsters in your path
that may attack you.
Plants can be found underwater and even in caves.

- If you're in a party with more than one herbalist, share the plants you find with them.
- Multiple people can gain skill off the same plant if the first person avoids picking the herbs off the plant. After the plant's contents box appears, simply press "Escape" to stand up, and the second person can then gather and have a chance to raise his or her skill.
- Don't pick plants while fighting. Wait until the party is safe before moving over to the plant.
- Don't run off to a plant by yourself without letting the other party members know. If there are monsters in the way, ask the party to clear them for you. Basically, don't do anything to jeopardize the safety of the party while you collect plants.
