Useful Flora

[Etherdrifter 2,518]

One of my favourite things to do in wurm is hunt flowers and mushrooms, white dotted flowers and QL90 black mushrooms are especially prized.  But what if there was more out there?

 

The idea here are for some new items that use existing spawn mechanics (the flower and placed shroom mechs) to reward explorers with something useful.  Give them a high rarity on spawns (same as white dotted flowers or even a little less?)

 

If one attempts to take these items to a PvP server some items (marked in bold italics) will convert to an inert form (instantly) that cannot be used on the PvP server (for balance reasons).  All items can be crafted on PvP servers but those with an inert form are created inert.   These items will restore to normal function once taken off a PvP server (takes 1 hour to prevent abuse).

 

Just to restate these items cannot be found by forage/botanize, they can only be found spawned naturally on tiles (flowers) or placed on tiles (mushrooms), so they are not farmable in any way or form.

• Standing on a patch of these flowers gives a minor (same as a str1 healing cover) recovery bonus.
