Concoctions
- The skill of Concoctions has been replaced with the skills of Harvesting and Remedies.
Concoctions enabled forestal adventurers to brew healing elixirs and salves from a variety of medicinal herbs. Only concoctionists used to be able to harvest herbs, provided the corresponding ability in Groves or Woodlore had been learned. However, the implementation of the Harvesting and Remedies trade skills opened up the ability to harvest herbs and brew medicinal cures to all classes, and the Concoctions skill ceased to be.
The skill of Concoctions was available to the three forestal classes: Druid, Sentinels and Sylvan. With the advent of trade skills Concoctions was split into Harvesting and Remedies. Druids, Sentinels and Sylvans gained the new skills of Reclamation, Skirmishing and Weatherweaving respectively.
