Herbalism

Herbalism

Category: Botany · Command: /herbalism · Super ability: Green Terra

Herbalism makes your farms more productive: extra crops, automatic replanting, and better food.

Earning XP

Harvest crops and gather plants. Crops only give XP when they're fully grown, and plants placed by players give nothing. A selection:

Plant	XP		Plant	XP
Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, Beetroots	50		Nether Wart	50
Melon, Pumpkin	20		Sugar Cane, Cactus, Cocoa	30
Sweet Berry Bush	50		Cave Vines (glow berries)	90
Short Grass, Fern, Vines, Bamboo	10		Tall Grass, Large Fern	50
Dandelion, Poppy	100		Tulips, Cornflower, Oxeye Daisy, Azure Bluet, Blue Orchid, Lily of the Valley	150
Allium	300		Wither Rose	500
Torchflower	90		Pitcher Plant	160
Lily Pad	100		Red / Brown Mushroom	150
Small / Big Dripleaf	140		Moss Block	150
Crimson / Warped Fungus	50		Shroomlight	250
Bee Nest	200		Chorus Flower	25
Coral (by type)	75–175		Dead Coral	10

For plants that grow in columns (sugar cane, cactus, bamboo, kelp, chorus), you only get XP for the blocks that actually break, and there's a limit on how much a bone-mealed plant can pay.

Super ability: Green Terra

Right-click with a hoe to ready it, then harvest. Unlocks at level 5.

• Every harvest gives triple drops.
• Green Thumb always succeeds and works one rank higher than your level.
• Lasts 2 seconds + 1 second per 5 levels (22 seconds at level 100), with a 240-second cooldown.

Abilities

Ability	Unlocks	What it does
Double Drops	Level 1	Chance for double drops: 1% per level, 100% at level 100
Verdant Bounty	Level 100	Chance for triple drops instead. It keeps rising past level 100, up to 50% at level 1,000.
Green Thumb	Level 25 (ranks at 25, 50, 75, 100)	When you harvest a fully grown crop, a chance to replant it for you. Higher ranks replant it further grown. The chance rises to 100% at level 100. You can also hold wheat seeds and right-click to turn cobblestone into mossy cobblestone, or dirt into grass.
Farmer's Diet	Level 20 (ranks at 20, 40, 60, 80, 100)	Food you farm restores more hunger
Hylian Luck	From the start	Chance for rare items when you break bushes, flowers and flower pots, up to 10% at level 100
Shroom Thumb	From the start	Use a brown and a red mushroom to spread mycelium onto dirt or grass. The chance rises to 50% at level 100; the mushrooms are used up either way.

Tips

• Flowers pay far more than crops, so pick them whenever you pass by.
• Big crop farms plus Green Thumb make Herbalism a steady, reliable skill.
• Herbalism keeps improving past level 100 thanks to Verdant Bounty.
• Herbalism is in Botany with Woodcutting and Alchemy. Many potion ingredients come from farming. See Wooden Mastery for Botany's passive.
