Herbalist

Herbalist is one of the many role-playing subclasses in Elder Tale.

Overview
One of the most basic subclasses of the game and the staple of some more specialized subclasses, the Herbalist deals with potions and medicinal items. Although inferior to its advanced counterparts in their respective fields, they are a specialist in the handling and farming of natural herbs.

For most Landers, medicine is the common way of protecting themselves from plagues and disasters so the Herbalist is a respected figure of their society, especially in rural areas. In cities, those who study pharmacy as an academic discipline have formed guilds to gather knowledge. Even in villages without Herbalist of the sort, travelling doctors regularly patrol to bring medicine and share information.

The subclass is easy to get, as players can change to it after passing a tutorial-style quest that can be completed in a few hours. Since chemicals are consumables, the demand is always constant and being a Herbalist is a good way to earn stable profits. Those two factors made this subclass popular and demanded, more so than changing to a specialized subclass isn’t necessary.

A detailed article was written about it in the 28th volume of “Log Horizon Wednesday”.
