Are herbs limited ?

[2B, or not 2B]

Are the permanent stat boost herbs limited ? Or is it like in Pokemon where you can buy them but you can only put a limited one of each stat per character so you dont overtune them ?

[Yhwach]

Limited in how many you can get in-game, but I think you can keep farming them in the arena, I haven't checked.
If that's the case then if you want more it'd be through there.

ok ill check that out

you can get them only once . you can't farm them . the only way to "farm them" is through new game plus by completing the story mode multiple times . you have a fresh start and you can collect everything again . also if you didn't knew the arena is a reward for completing Once,it's not a farmable location ,otherwise you would have 999 in every stats easy

Not exactly true. The Training Grounds has two matches you can do once an hour, one for defensive sets of herbs, and one for offensive sets. So if you really wanna wait out the timers, you can indeed farm them.

After clearing it the first time you can get more.

Is there any reason to save the herbs or can you eat them whenever? I remember some tales had a way to use them to make a "super" version late game to get even more out of the early ones.

No particular reasons i think . you can use them whenever you want . I only saved because I tought it was only a one time reward until I found out it was farmable here lol . im still shocked by the way,but it's my first playthrough,I honestly didn't knew that lol.
by the way I never actually paid attention to it bt that's true,the arena does allow to farm them but only the small ones(level 50 tho)

wait there are permanent stat boost herbs? i did all the arena missions and didn't even know lol, which ones are they?

[GeminiEclipse]

The herbs are consumables. You should have picked up a bunch by now. They might be at the bottom of your list. Things like Sage, Rosemary, etc.

All of the regular and red herbs are.

I didn't realize those things were perm. effects, just thought they were for short term use like before a fight so have largely ignored/never used one, yet. >.>

Hm. After I finish the game once maybe I should use WeMod to power thru the game multiple times just to see what oodles of those would do to a chr. Haha....no, I probably won't really, because it would be tedious as heck even if cheating like mad. But I'm curious nonetheless.

they only boost your stats to 999 max so that's a lot of grind(I think it was 999 the stats and 9999 Hp

Wemod has a 1-hit kill toggle. Skip the cutscenes. But yeah ... I was just joking. I wouldn't have the patience, not even remotely, lol. Don't have it even to "farm" them like ppl mention above.

999 ... that seems to be a common number for jrpg's. Not that I've played tons of jrpg's. :)

well I'm not 100% sure about it but when i upgrade my stats all I have is stuff like 300/400 ... so yeah 999 might be the max + there are the gears stats then weapons . I don't know what's the max value for stats displayed in status screen . but for upgrade via herbs i'm sure at 99% it's that much .
EDIT : I didn't used a single one because I kept them for endgame to see what character I would main,by the time I reached final boss,I saw I still had them and honestly XD, i don't needed them at all . it's just an extra bonus tho
