Apothecary, Herbalism, and Illnesses (GTW)

This is something I brought up in the Discord but I thought I’d also post it here.

Please note; This is copied from the feedback forum from the Discord. I have modified it slightly to fit better here, but is very much in that format.

What isn’t working or feels frustrating? 

Herbalism ingredients (the bugs) can only be found in Granite falls (and you can’t live there or just travel so you have to take a vacation)

Herbalism and apothecary skills cannot be used to get rid of the GTW illness.

What new ideas or improvements would you suggest?

Allow us to find the bugs and plants for herbalism in the wild

(These are just two examples but,) like if you have EBN you can forage for herbalism ingredients at level two of the herbalism skill, or find them in the wild grass from Horse Ranch

Allow us to make medicine with the herbalism and apothecary skills.

Why would this improve your gameplay experience?

I don’t think I need to explain why. But I’ll do it anyway, in song form!

“Just think of what we could do, together! Unlimited. Together we’re unlimited. Together we’ll be the greatest team there’s ever been cross pack compatibility.

Saves the way we planned them. If we work in tandem.

There’s no blight we cannot win!

Just you and I defying illnesses! With you and I defying illnesses! They’ll never get us down!”

Ok I’m done now…
