Hints

• You can find everything and everyone in the town of Nashkel, i.e. the herbs and the herbalist.
  Although if you do not manage to locate the herbs and/or the herbalist, you can see this map
• You will probably never 'finish' the mod, as the herbalist offers her services for a high price; the most powerful potions are very expensive so will be able to brew those only at the later stages of the game. Other useful potions are cheap and you might want to return and brew some before going on a longer adventure
• The herbalist can also enchant certain weapons for you if you give her gold; the result of the enchanting process random; you can gain a fiery weapon of +1 enchantment as well as a poisonous one with a +3 enchantment
