Learning Botany

New page

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

==Learning Botany==

Click on any plant and examine it. Then, you must visit a School of Natural Philosophy to start learning Botany. You will begin at level 0. Identify 25 different species of plants within a time limit, and return to the School to advance to level 1. Once you reach Botany 2 the University of Body teaches levels 3 and 4. XP toward Botany 2 is gained by eating herbs, successfully foraging herbs, planting flowers, and harvesting moss from aqueduct towers.

==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."

# Peel back the stem base
# Scrape off the stem pith
# Remove the tap root
