The herbalist skill is used in gathering Template:L from Template:Ls.

A highly skilled herbalist will not only pick shrubs more quickly, but will also be able to get a larger quantity per shrub (stacks); this has a positive effect when further processing and will allow for more efficient Template:L use.

The herbalist skill will only affect shrubs that you did not plant as Template:L, and will only collect those you designate with the "gather plant" command.

Plant gathering can be a good food source early on, but tends to be rather useless later in game unless you are in a biome where you can find the valuable Template:L or Template:L or feel the weird urge to do no farming or food trading at all.

Any plant appropriate to the Template:L will appear as a shrub. Once you discover the Template:L, shrubs (and Template:Ls) will start to grow on any muddy rough stone floors.

An herbalist is also responsible for processing Template:Ls into Template:L at a Template:L.
