Well, my character is currently a level 15 Trollish Barbarian with Herbalism at 100 but no Gardening skill. I've managed to make the Big Room safe, but when I create herb patterns, they don't grow, no matter how long I wait. I started off trying the 4-herb T formation, but it didn't do anything and I accidently picked the bottom herb completely away, so now it is a single 3-herb horizontal line. However, shouldn't it be changing between vertical and horizontal periodically? Oh, by the way, I am new to these forums, so if I am doing any hideously wrong, I ask you to please rend the flesh from my bones in a kind and courteous fashion. Thank you!

You have to wait a long time until a generation changes. (\_/) (o.0) (> <) ( / \ ) Don't click this http://www.mindistortion.net/iwantyoursoul/?i_am=Darkcutter |

How long, approximately, are we talking about? Also, does the "withered" state affect herb growth at all? Btw, thanks for the fast response! I am impressed!

There is a possibility that the herbs won't grow anyway. IIRC if one plants herbs into a dungeon level where herbs didn't originally grow then these herbs will not grow. If the bigroom did have herbs to begin with then that shouldn't be the problem. As for how long it takes, that varies quite a lot IME. When I was harvesting stomafillia in the bigroom with my mindcrafter sometimes the herbs flourished in a short while sometimes it took a fair while. If you are not wearing hunger-increasing items then at the very least they should grow in the time it takes to get from bloated to normal. Personally, I try to use only the 2x2 square formation if possible as I find the 1x3/3x1 pulsating formation risky. Collect one herb too much -> *POOF* J.

Doesn't the herb growth cease if the level lost all herb bushes and then you plant/create your own? I think I've got big room stale too. And how do you harvest? When new generation comes, do you pick up untill it's withered or strong? I pick only enough to drop it from blossom to strong, so you can't kill a bush with 1 misspick (got puzzled by J saying you would kill the risky formation). |

I dont think herb growth cease if lvl lost all herbs. The guidebook said lvl with herbs has "herb growing" flag set. If it know about the flag, it will tell us if the flag could be de-set anyway. You can "a"pply herbalism onto your square. The status of the herb is blossom -> strong -> weak -> wither I think. Herbs gain 1 lvl if there are 2-3 bushes next to it and die otherwise. New herbs are always blossom I think. The 2x2 square always make new herbs bushes if 1 die, and the remaining gain 1 lvl every generation. I usually go for the 2x2, pick till 1 die, go mine the room then check back every so often :) My RL dumpyard: http://www.geocities.com/ceruleannebula/index.html [Edited 1 time, last edit on 4/22/2005 at 06:13 (GMT -5) by tongHoAnh] |

In the newest version you canplant herbs on any level and they will grow. I planted some herbs on the 1st level of the VD and they grew without a problem. I usually just o the 2x2 pattern, the T is only good for moving patterns IIRC. The best thing I find to do while waiting is to just to w,s and the herbs regrow |

Excuse my incompetence (I've been able to figure out most of them) but what is IIRC? |
