Highground & Yarrow

Is this an oversight on your part Jorb? Examining the world map shows entire continental areas devoid of any grasslands besides Highgrounds, which don't seem to spawn a very basic starting medicine: Yarrow.I guess it isn't a problem for us vets knowing what to do and where to go, but I feel the new players are probably having an "awesome" experience with the wounds system and hunting ¦] .

The Wiki simply states: Grasslands, which takes you to a page for all the biomes, we can all see how this is probably playing out, and out there in the backwoods large swaths of Yarrow Populists Movements are growing...

Just the other day I held court and several Sprucecaps had petitioned me to release a dole of Yarrow from my personal stores. I granted them their petition, but not before inquiring of their leader his name. Upon further inspection of ancestorial records regarding him, it seems he had the genitive apposition of "MKII". While the Sprucecaps being too illiterate of such State requirements for vital records might overlook this, I could only shake my head and I informed the poor Sprucecap that if only he had Yarrow, he might be called by MKI. He looked at me puzzled none the less.

I therefore, humbly petition the Gods to intervene in this, and quell these Populists Uprisings, and restore order amongst the Sprucecaps.

Yarrow heals only wounds that heal quickly by themselves anyways, which isn't too relevant until the midges arrive and start turning minor wounds into crippling Allergic Reaction debuffs.

Knicks & Knacks stack and peel off into worse wounds, which can be avoided by simply applying Yarrow. "X time, proceed to Yawn modifier, therefore Z don't care" is not a valid argument. The Gods blessed us with medicine as a counter mechanic to the wounds system. All things in balance. :geek:

Yep, I myself experienced the fact that I had to run half the continent to find yarrow for the credo. Amazing experience, 10/10

I personally like that some regions are devoid of certain items. If it's not yarrow you need to travel far for, it's probably something else. Like waybroad, spices, or specific types of trees/bushes. All of it can be planted anyway.

Indeed. The problem lies with credo quests demanding items that are out of reach, not with items being region-bound.
