'''Botany''' (formerly known as Foraging) allows one to eat and harvest the many [[herbs]] that grow throughout Egypt.

==Learning Botany==

Botany is automatically learned by identifying 25 different species of plants. Click on a plant to begin the Botany task and acquire Botany level 0. After identifying 25 plants you will advance to Botany level 1.

==Foraging Herbs==

Clicking on an unknown herb will give its name as "some kind of herb". At Botany level 1, a menu titled "Foraging..." will appear on the herb. If you harvest the herb correctly you will receive 1-7 herbs in your inventory and the plant will disappear. You can look up the correct forage method for all the known herbs in the [[Herbs]] reference, or via third-party utilities that provide the ability to search by plant color, stem type, leaves, etc.

==Foraging Memory==

At Botany level 2, you gain the ability to memorize the proper foraging methods for herbs. To memorize a foraging method one must successfully forage that herb 7 consecutive times, with no errors. If you select an incorrect option, the counter resets, and you must successfully forage it another 7 times.

Eating an herb fresh off the ground does not interfere with the memorization counter.

Once you memorize the forage method for an herb, the sub-menu of forage method options will disappear, and it will be replaced with a menu option that says, for example, "Forage this Wild Lettuce."

== Harvesting ==
There are fourteen ways to harvest the herbs:
# Cut away the outer stem
# Harvest the root pith
# Trim the root fibers
# Snip the leaf stems
# Peel back the stem base
# Scrape off the stem pith
# Remove the tap root
# Pick out the seeds
# Gather the seedpods
# Crush the stems
# Pluck the leaves
# Collect the fruit
# Squeeze out the sap
# Scrape away the leaf hairs
