This is a part of the Missing Book Quest.
This quest will not be triggered if you do not meet the conditions to start it.
1. Go to southern Umbala and talk to the Botanist. He muses over the stolen book and introduces himself as Jonathan Greengold, a researcher in the field of botany and plant cultivation.
2. Jonathan begs you to let him keep the book as it's vital to his research. After a bit of chatting, he asks you to identify five different plant species in his place.
You must find Rare Plants and kill them to obtain
Unidentified Plant
scattered around
Umbala
Fields.
Notes:
- If the quest is not active (not started yet, or already completed), the Rare Plants won't drop anything.
- It is worth noting that Rare Plant looks like a Shining Plant.
- Every batch of 5 Unidentified Plant will roll a chance to get one of the five plant types.
- You have 1/6 of failing to identify the plant.
- You can still keep getting the same plant type everytime, so it's advisable to bring a big amount of Unidentified Plant.
- Unidentified Plant are Char Bound; however, the identified ones aren't (so you can use the duplicates with other characters).
