Does Herbalism just not give much of an advantage?

I have herbalism 2 and so far, outside of (i guess) xp and energy differences, it doesn't seem to do much for me. No change in harvest or shuck, not one single superharvest or double seed yield. Am I just unlucky?

  • Superharvests seem very rare for me as well, maybe one in 30 harvests. I was expecting a larger normal harvest amount but I guess my expectations were unfounded.

    I haven't seen a double seed yield either, though I have had several failures since I learned H2.

  • After I learned it, I usually got more than one seed per shuck and no more failures.

  • I have had herbalism 2 for ages and I still get the occasional failure.

  • Yeah, I still get frequent failures despite having H2, I do get super harvests sometimes (usually one or two per 16 I plant), but I don't think I've seen a double seed yield.

    I at least expected to not get any shucking failures with full herbalism :/

  • You get more than one seed per shuck with no skills for certain herbs. Hairball is an example.

  • There's certainly less shucking failure with the herbalism skills.  You also get a fair few bonus items along with your herbs.

  • I have now gotten a mega healthy veggie juice from a harvest! Looks like the answer to my question is a little bit of both. Yes, I was having some bad luck. Also yes, Herbalism just isn't that billy of a skill.
