Apothecary
Apothecary
The Apothecary is where the healer carefully dries freshly gathered herbs into crisp, shelf-stable bundles. Racks line the walls, each holding small bundles that hang to dry in the filtered light.
How It Works
• Fresh herbs can be placed on any empty drying rack. Each rack can hold up to ten herbs at a time.
• Once started, a drying batch takes 4 days (real-time) to finish. When complete, the herbs become dried herbs.
• Dried herbs are less potent than fresh ones, but they never spoil and can be stored safely for later healing.
Using the Apothecary
Racks need to be built before use and take 20 wood and 4 stone.
They degrade over time.
Choose an open rack.
Enter how many fresh herbs you wish to dry (up to that rack’s capacity).
Start the batch — the herbs are removed from your colony’s storage and begin drying.
Return later to collect your finished dried herbs once the timer expires.
Quick Tips
• Each colony can maintain up to three racks at a time.
• You can’t reuse a rack until its current batch has been collected.
• Dried herbs provide smaller healing bonuses but last indefinitely.
• Don’t forget to check the Healer’s Shelf to view your total stock of fresh and dried herbs.
Lore Note
The den’s warmth and faint scent of resin help herbs dry evenly. Apprentices often hang bundles before dusk and gather the crisp leaves by morning light.
