Question regarding legacy herbs

Kagato

Ok, so at this point we're a decent chunk into the overhaul, some afflictions still using the old herbs, some having been switched over to the new ones.

Anyone able to give me an idea of which herbs are still in use?  (HELP CURELIST has not been updated to reflect the overhaul and still lists all the old cures, including the obsolete ones that have been replaced by overhaul cures)

At this point I think you're best to keep all the old cures, and add the new ones to your equipment. I'm not sure any cures have been made completely obselete yet, just a bunch of afflictions have been transferred over.

The only one I've seen announced as obsolete is Wormwood, in overhaul post 17:

o Wormwood no longer has any funtionality as a curative.

Ssaliss

Anyway, don't go throwing your herbs away just yet. Most, if not all, herbs will still be used in alchemy to create the new cures (and other assorted things).

Kagato

Thanks, it was more "I don't want to waste money buying obsolete herbs" than "I'll throw away stuff I might not need"

Ssaliss

Went through some stuff and found these cure methods are now obsolete:

APPLY MELANCHOLIC TO HEAD (you can still apply melancholic to chest for various afflictions though)
DRINK LOVE (still gives the love defense, but it no longer cures anything)
EAT GALINGALE
EAT KAFE (needless to say, it still gives the defense, but the cures (daydreaming and narcolepsy) are now gone)
EAT WORMWOOD

Lerad

Drink love still gives the love potion defense, which some people might want to keep and which will probably carry over to the overhaul, unless they're getting rid of it entirely.

Ssaliss

Oh, yeah, forgot to note that part (see also: kafe). This just deals with afflictions, and those very specific cure methods.
