Herbs are magical flora found throughout the world, serving as the foundational components for Hexalia's rituals, brews, and infusions. They are categorized into two main groups: Core Herbs, which are refined into essential pastes and powders, and Specialized Herbs, which have unique independent uses.

Important Note: Obtaining Herbs

All herbs, except for the Witchweed, can be obtained by using a Mutavis on specific vanilla blocks in the world.
