Both the globs of paste and the press cakes are minimum-value cooking ingredients, at 1☼ each. When looking at cooking ingredients, the quarry bush leaves completely overshadow what can be gained from an oil-pressing operation. However, if you have a surplus of rock nuts such that you could never plant them all at once, it makes sense to use them for something productive. |

− | + | Due to a quirk in the Raws, a wild Quarry Bush plant growing underground (not planted) can yield 6 leaves if placed in a [[Activity_zone#Plant_collection|Gathering zone]]. An [[Herbalist]] will first harvest a single leaf growth, then collect the entire plant, which can be processed as usual afterwards for 5 more leaves. | |
