Chichimec.9364 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Just a quick question - once you've unlocked the varietal seed drop will they drop for any alt or only for the gourmet chef who unlocked it? My cook is an old alt that I only use for crafting. I'd rather not have to run it around every day just to do a lot of gathering. Thanks in advance for any help.

Aerinndis.2730 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Any of your characters can gather the seeds once you unlocked the varietal seeds. Just make sure you have any boosts on and glyphs to maximize collecting. I use my chef and kill stuff in the vicinity to also collect the meat.

Chichimec.9364 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Ah, thank you both. That's what I was hoping to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I created a placeholder character to save a name and, since it's taking up a slot, I parked them where there are herbs to whack. Even at level 2, they get varietal seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually equipped for gathering but now they will be keeping a special eye out for herbs to whack. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altermaven.7385 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Once you unlock varietal seeds after grabbing and turning in the initial pair, it can be harvested by anyone successfully collecting an herb node. A varietal seed for an herb will appear alongside the actual herb; that is, if your harvest nets you a clove, you'll get varietal clove seeds. Naturally, anything that gives you a bonus harvest chance will increase the chances of getting varietal seeds as you have more chances to harvest that node. I was able to get the verdant herbs SE of Gauntlet WP (Mt. Maelstrom) and I three-striked varietal clove seeds because I was under Item booster influence.TL;DR: Anyone, any level, can harvest varietal seeds from herb nodes as long as it's successful and you've completed and turned in the first gather.
