Howdy!
Hey there, cowboy! Don't tell Maxwell I called you cowboy.
Yo!
Salutations!
Bless up!
Bring anything good?
Whatcha smoking?
Peace, man!
You can work on Cloth, Composite Material, Organic Gel, and Natural Oil. And, let me tell you, the Natural Oil is fantastic for your skin.
You wanna get fully certified in herbalism?
Perfect, man. My skin is screaming for a Natural Oil face mask.
You can find Hazelnuts hidden in the bushes around here. If you could find some and turn them into Natural Oil, you'd truly save my day!
Not only would it help my poor skin, but it's also a great way to learn about Herbalism.
Oh, that's a bummer. But it's cool, I totally get it.
No worries. Maybe some other time then?
Nah, fully operational here.
No gigs for now, just chilling.
All good in the hood, no quests for you.
Need a little favor, if you're game.
Sure thing, could use some help.
Yeah, got a tiny quest for you.
One day I decided I'd had enough of the sterile cubicles and the artificial screens. I packed up my computer and hitched a ride to Goldenfield and met Maxwell.
Fresh air, clean code, and plenty of joints of the good stuff.
Goldenfield? It's paradise, man! Especially looking up at Maxwell.
I came here to get away from the Quaddari, but now they're coming right to me.
Well, I was - thanks to the artifacts popping up around here, folks from all over are showing up.
Living the dream, cowboy!
So how 'bout it? Up for a little adventure, cowboy?
That's where this plant, the Transparent Leaf, comes in. It's not just your average psychedelic - it gives a helluva focus boost. Turns the jungle into a zen garden.
The logic's all entangled, like vines in a jungle. Which makes it kinda exciting. But boy, do I need a focus boost to untangle it.
It's what you get when folks don't use Test-Driven Development from the get-go.
I've got this project. It's a spaghetti code monster, a real Hydra. Fix one bug and two more spawn.
Oh, you want to learn herbalism? Far out, man.
Aye, it s the wild west out there.
No problemo, happy trails.
Bummer, guess I'll keep spacing out.
Now, about fetchin' those leaves. You won't find 'em at your local plant nursery. I hear tell they grow on some rare trees in the woods around these parts.
Just near my crib, you'll find a crafting bench. That's why I chose this spot, man.
There are lots more in Windreach Woods and Dusktide Forest, but I don't go there - those places make me nervous.
I usually search bushes in Skylight Grasslands and the Sunweave Glade.
Petrified Spikes are really rare! They're prickly little buggers. And if you ever come across a Rainbow Snail, they're super rare around these parts.
Blue Lotus, Six-leaf Clovers, Carnivorous Plants, and my personal favorite - Magic Weeds. They're not as common, though.
You can get a whole lot of different things - Hazelnuts, Jute, Silkworm Caterpillars, Fragrant Roots...
That's a tip for dating too, hot stuff.
And let me tell you, the older and larger the bush, the more valuable the resources it hides.
Bushes come in three tiers - Thick Bushes, Old Bushes, and and your mommas! No, I'm kidding. Ancient Bushes.
You'll be dealing with stuff from enormous, dense Kwalat bushes. These babies are like whole ecosystems.
It can be pretty frustrating, but the uh... special herbs around here help.
Seeing that you're new, I should share something I discovered recently - Herbalism. It's so darn cool, man!
And the best part? I do it while lounging under the open sky, getting high on nature's own... gifts.
I still code, more out of love than necessity. I work remotely on fascinating projects, but on my own terms.
I traded the hum of servers for the whisper of the wind, the virtual reality for the verdant reality.
I'll make sure your efforts are well rewarded!
It's like living inside a Rob Boss painting while Maxwell lives inside me.
Used to be a tiny cog in the giant tech machine of Qaddari, crunching code till the wee hours.
They call me Nia Sundance.
Not your thing, huh? That's all right. Peace!
So for now, I'm just surfing the cosmic waves of code and consciousness.
And trust me, Natural Oil is pure gold. It's like a hundred spa treatments in one tiny bottle!
And hey, dating tip: the older and larger the bush, the more valuable the resources it hides. Just ask Maxwell.
