# Herbalism

Herbalism is an artisanal skill that uses crops obtained through Farming to craft a variety of powerful potions! Players are introduced to Herbalism during Root of the Problem quest. #### Getting started Whether by growing it yourself or picking it up from the GEX, you've got your hands on your first Sunflare. As you journey through dungeons, you've gathered various secondary ingredients. Now, all that’s left is to get a vial to mix it all together! {% hint style="info" %} Secondary ingredients are ONLY dropped on boss levels! {% endhint %} You can find empty vials as drops from wild Lapsas or purchase them on [Ronin](https://marketplace.roninchain.com/collections/zeeverse-items) or GEX.

To begin crafting potions, you need to create a potion mix by combining a plant of your choice with a vial of water. {% hint style="info" %} You can fill empty vials with water by dragging them onto any water source across the Zeme. {% endhint %} ## Potions
