Alchemy ingredients respawn

[20 faces on a die]

Does anybody know how that works? I sleep in a bedroll for like 6 days straight and then come back to harvest some ingredients but they just wont appear.

I believe it is 3 in game days out of the area for something to re-spawn. You have to be outside the cell/zone for the whole 72 hours. If you return within that time frame then the countdown resets.

The easiest way to make sure you are not interfering with the re-spawn is to go to an interior zone if the ingredients are outside, or vice versa.

You cant be in the same tileset as the area you are trying to farm. As far as I know. 3 full days should be enough if you never load that tileset even once in between waiting time.
