Hey Empaths, I've got a few herbal questions, and I figured this was the best place to ask.

How long does it take for a single dose of an herb to wear off? For example, say I have a bleeder on my arm and I eat a jadice flower. When the jadice wears off, I still won't be fully healed. How long do I need to wait to eat another dose? Does this depend upon how many injuries I have? Is there a way to tell, short of eating again and feeling nauseous?

Assuming there is a corresponding internal injury, should I go ahead and eat yelith root at the same time?

What about scars? Should I go ahead and eat some jadice pollen and nuloe stem? Do I need to wait one pulse first? Would I maximize herb efficiency to wait for the wound to be healed before eating the scar remedy?

My goal is to maximize hunting time. I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to herbs, but I've been fooling around and I even made a few potions. I have checked out Kythryn and Olwydd's websites, but they didn't have this stuff. Thanks in advance.

Wow, thanks for the speedy response! I should have realized the length question. For reference, about how long do storebought herbs last? If no one knows I'll do some testing and post what I find.

Also, about the herb stacking... Say I eat some cebi to heal one thing, and then I get a torso scar...can I not eat genich at this point? I was sort of planning to do this...

Thanks again.

I typically eat all my injury herbs first, then the scars, by the time the scar herbs take effect, the injury herbs have pulsed long ago... that keeps you from wasting the scar ones or waiting for the injury to wear off

<<You can stack herbs as long as they don't heal the same thing. For example, you can use cebi and hisan together (external and internal scars) but you can't use cebi and genich stem because they both heal external scars (cebi all over, genish on your torso).>>

When last I checked, which was admittedly a long time ago, you COULD use cebi/hisan and any of the other internal and external scar herbs at the same time. I used to do this when my magics were relatively low, and that using ESH/ISH all over drained most of my mana pool. It made the scars disappear pretty quickly.

I don't carry the other scar herbs anymore -- they're rather expensive, and ESH/ISH are pretty cheap now, mana-wise, so I can't check this myself. Anyone with the herbs on them or an easy way of procuring them (coughthiefcough) care to verify this?

Hot damn.

Well, my testing was before the big substances change, so I guess that makes sense.

Neat. Time to go buy me some scar herbs.

I thought that scar herbs won't heal a wound once it's beyond a certain step. It's been a while, though.

Store-bought blocil, i think, acts differently than foraged blocil.

Store-bought works on internal head, whereas junliar stem always works internal back.

Well I don't know all the technical terms for it but I walk around with a sack of fresh wound herbs and potions and a pouch of scar herbs and potions, when I am in need of a quick heal without mana I simply eat one of everything, regardless. So if that's what you mean by stacking, as in, I could eat a genich stem and a hisan salve and a cebi root to basically wipe out a relevant scar, then yes, it's entirely doable. It's how I basically get by with crappy mana. Don't know if that helps at all. If I've got a full set of bodily wounds, internal and externals as bad as serious scars, missing hunks of flesh, holes or bleeders, then take together one of everything regardless of duplicating, heals all. Takes about 5 mins, but it does the job.

I've never wanted infection herbs as badly as in those 6 hours.

well Villya,

Since you weren't present and so therefore have no real idea of what did or did not happen I'd suggest redirecting your comments to conflicts, since this isn't the place for them.

I happen to heal plenty of people when they treat me with the same common mutual respect. Being screamed at to heal faster when there's no mana and only one empath barely able to heal infections doesn't make the empath heal any faster.

Hanyru got plenty of healing from me during the debacle that was the quest. Infact, all of the people on the quest got healing from me even AFTER I was told by my husband to let them all die. Aside from which, I was satisfactorily murdered by those who felt I didn't heal enough or fast enough. So, as I said before. If you have further comment to make, I suggest you take it to the conflicts folder where due verbal slapping can take place.

Regards

Kintalia Runemore.

Repli did NOT get healing, you let him die at your feet. And most of us had no tongues, so that made things a bit difficult at the end.
