Simples

Simples are herbs with medical virtues. Those are the ones used by physicians to make potions in their laboratory.

Collect medical herbs

Everyone can collect simples using "Out of town", in the tab Works.

Warning, collect simples prevent working anywhere else. You also need to unlock the skill "Collecting simples".

It is possible to collect simples for 2, 6, 12 or 22 hours.

At the end of the action, simples collected are going directly to the inventory of your character, without having to wait for the end of the day.

There is a benefit to collect simples in shorter time periods:

• Increase productivity of the collect: short time periods have a higher production than longer time periods, which means that your character will collect more simples with three sessions of two hours, than with one of six hours.
• Having the product immediately to sell it quicker.
• Combine this work with a short time period with another work with a short time period, as mining.
