A Herbarium realm is a mid-progression way to support gardening and collect plant ingredients. It can broaden the crop supply you bring home, but it is not a substitute for establishing a basic estate garden.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
A Herbarium major realm opened through a portal with a selected biome card.
Use the Herbarium card when you are ready to make a dedicated plant run. Combine it with a biome card, explore for useful eligible ingredients, and bring the harvest home to refine into seeds or use in recipes.
Herbarium Realm Card unlocked through progression and crafted.
Portal access and a compatible biome card.
Harvesting tools and inventory room for plants and seeds.
Progress until the Herbarium card is available, then craft it at the appropriate card station.
Review the biome card you plan to pair with Herbarium and choose one suited to the ingredients you want.
Load both cards at the portal and check the displayed realm configuration before opening it.
Enter the realm and search accessible vegetation for plant ingredients relevant to your crop plan.
Use the appropriate harvesting tool and collect only the plants you can use or convert to seed.
Return through the portal with the harvest before spending more cards on another configuration.
At home, refine eligible ingredients into seed and plant them in compatible pots, or use the materials directly in recipes.
Farming tips
Treat this as a targeted crop-supply trip: decide which ingredients you need before selecting the biome.
Untamed Major Cards are consumed when used, so verify the configuration and bring the cards you are willing to spend.
Repeat, collect and use
Open another Herbarium realm when you have another planned ingredient run and the cards to spend. Each untamed opening consumes its Major Card; harvested plants should not be assumed to regrow in place.
Common mistakes
Opening the wrong biome pairing: check the portal configuration before committing cards.
Gathering plants without a use plan: prioritize ingredients with a recipe or seed path.
Expecting this to be an early requirement: establish basic Planter Pot production first, then invest in Herbarium progression.
When to stop or switch
Stop once you have enough starter stock for the planned recipes and seed batches; switch to estate cultivation for recurring supply.
