Herbalist Career Guide
By: E

Herbalist is classified as an Intermediate career, because it depends on Seeds from Explorers. It is essential for providing Plants to Alchemists, Doctors, and other workers. Your player account has an Hourly Harvest Cap of 200 Pots. Each individual villager begins with 10 permanent Herbalist Pots and can add up to 90 Herbalist Pots created by Construction Workers for a total of 100 slots.

Herbalists can plant seeds from any village or source. While all of the basic village seeds are found by Explorers, some seeds also show up in battlegrounds for Warriors. Plantimal seeds are from the Cottage Shoppe, Flower seeds are from the Power of Flowers Box, and Black Rose seeds are from the Box of Darkness. Seeds are categorized as Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, or Limited.

Common Seeds take 30 minutes to grow and yield 5-10 plants.

At first you may not yield any plants with your seeds. Herbalists begin at 50% mastery of each seed, and gain 5% with each successful harvest. This mastery determines how likely future harvests are to be successful. The first 10 successful harvests bring you up to 100% mastery. Herbalists with 100% mastery always yield plants for that type of seed going forward. You may view your villager's mastery in their Seed Book.

With every harvest, your Herbalist Pot loses 1 Durability. You are warned if a Pot will break with the next harvest. You can use the opportunity to Repair it with your active Construction Worker or with another villager on the Maintenance Market. You can destroy seeds (not fully grown plants) you’ve accidentally planted, removing them from pots. This will not use durability and will not refund the seed.

During the first Great Harvest in 2017, Herbalists had the chance to grow Pumpkins for carving into Jack-O-Lanterns and to participate in the Pumpkin Growing Contest.
