Foraging

From A Wiki in the Desert
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Foraging Skill

Foraging allows one to harvest the herbs that grow throughout Egypt.

Clicking on an herb will give its name as "some kind of herb". Once the foraging skill is learned, 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 on the list below, or via third-party utilities that provide the ability to search by plant color, stem type, leaves, etc.

Foraging Memory

Once the second level of Foraging has been learned, "Foraging Memory" will allow you to memorize successful 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."

Skill Tuitions

Foraging is learned at a School of Worship.

Rank One (level 2) allows you to forage and requires:

Rank Two (level 9) allows you to memorize foraging techniques through Foraging Memory (see below) and requires:
