Item list

Example of a requirements for a mortar ' Mortar Option: '

  • Fresh Butterroot
  • 4 Hawthorn Resin
  • Powdered Diamond
  • On Dirt, Near a Large Stone

Explanation of passing the test


1) go to any UBody and get a list of requirements. if you don't like those requirements for whatever reason, you can go to a different UBody and get a different list, but you can only do this once per month, per UBody. this list will give you 7 combinations of herb, resin, gem, and location. you need to do 4 of these 7.
2) find an herb on your list. set the mortar down beside it and add the herb to the mortar. from this point on, you can add the resin whenever.
3) go to a location that matches the requirement. add the powdered gem.
4) turn in at the same UBody that provided the list.

You must turn in 4 at once, you cannot turn them in one at a time, but you can show it to them to confirm it is okay (and get your principle if you are needing it).

On successful completion of each stage the player will receive a +1 focus point and the ability to wear a temporary tattoo.

Note that you cannot use herbs that have already been picked - you must use herbs that are still growing, in the wild. Drop your pigment mortar next to the herb, then use the herb (you will have a new menu option).

For Principle you need just use one of the Herbs form your list. U can use the same Mortar again with the herb, when u turn in all 4 to get test advancement.

You can try different Ubody to find a easy list for you.

Location Requirements
