Elemental Herbs

Unless I missed something… why are there only frigid and windswept herbs but none infused with earth or fire?

The portal created by overloading titan-touched herbs is buggy btw.

well i would imagine being infused with fire would be pretty bad for the herbs :smiley:

In a fantasy world? While your argument makes sense for fire, it doesn’t for earth. Herbs literally grow in soil, so no sensible explanation for not making earth infused samples.

Also, ice isn’t exactly healthy for perennials / flowers either. Okay, saxifrage is a frost resistant shrub which btw. really exists. But especially SAXIFRAGE, whose name translates to STONE BREAKER from Latin should somehow grant furious earth???

Plus, saxifrage grows a lot around lava zones or even directly besides lava streams, too. As unrealistic as fire infused herbs but quite the case that would strongly speak for said herb variant.

lol actually so would frost - it would kill the plant.

Not all plants since those growing in the Northern hemisphere are usually frost resistant. But there are also many herbs, which resist a fair amount of heavy sun exposure and heat.

Probably because miners are the ones getting earth and fire but no wind or ice. They seem to have spread the elements between the gathering professions.

Actually, the last talent point in the elemental mining tree alows miners to also get those from Elemental mines ( the ones who can contain any element). I guess thats what I remember.

Mining provides earth and fire primarily.

I think they made this divide between gathering professions to not have one outclass the other. It also makes you more dependent on a miner if you need fire and earth unless you are willing to swap to mining/make a miner alt.

There doesn’t seem to be an equivalent skill for herbalism although we also have an elemental skill tree. Last point activates more elemental essence per herb but still no earth and fire. Quite unfair.

And don’t mining nodes come with an infusion of all flavours at once? The primal infused one, what ever it was called.

I just found out, planting herb seeds in fertile soil will give you earth elemental. Only fire missing then. Earth seems to be pretty random on soil tho and it’s quite annoying to fly around search for spots. I have 12 seeds now but only can grow one per soil. Meh…

Fire earth - miners
Ice wind - herb

Apparently not, if you minded reading the comments.
