Use the improved distribution of herbs and ingredients to replenish cooking materials during normal exploration.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Collect herbs and food ingredients while exploring
Visible herb and food-ingredient plants throughout accessible game areas; distribution has been improved across the game.
Before you go
- Have access to areas where ingredient plants appear.
- Carry room for ingredients or food.
- Know which recipe or recovery need you are collecting toward.
Farming steps
- Check your food and ingredient inventory before setting out.
- Choose an accessible area you are already exploring rather than relying on an unverified fixed plant route.
- Look for visible herb and ingredient plants along paths and gather them when convenient.
- Review the collected items in the inventory; the game identifies ingredients that can be eaten and those better used in recipes.
- Open the cooking interface and select a recipe that uses the materials you have, if one suits your need.
- Use the prepared food for recovery or keep the ingredients for a later recipe.
- Ingredients can be eaten, but the interface notes they are more effective in a recipe.
- Gather during a route you already need to travel; the notes do not establish fixed plant coordinates or yields.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat on subsequent explorations as ingredients appear. No fixed spawn count or refresh interval is documented.
Common mistakes
- Eating every ingredient immediately: check whether a recipe would make it more effective.
- Expecting a particular plant at a precise location: gather visible resources in your current area.
- Confusing food with ingredients: use the inventory display to decide whether to cook or consume.
When to stop or switch
Stop gathering when you have enough for your next recipe or recovery need, then continue your main route.
