Manor Lords: How to Get and Use Herbs to Cure Diseases

In Manor Lords, villagers can fall ill due to various factors, such as a lack of diverse food options. Diseases can significantly impact the productivity of the settlement, and if left untreated, can even lead to the death of villagers. Herbs are a valuable resource in the game that can be used to cure sick villagers and restore their health. This guide will explain how to obtain and use herbs in Manor Lords.

Causes of Diseases in Manor Lords

Diseases in Manor Lords can occur when villagers do not have access to a varied diet. Relying solely on a single food source, such as berries or meat, for an extended period can lead to the spread of illness among the population. To prevent this, it is essential to provide a diverse range of food options, including berries, meat, bread, and eggs.

How to Get Herbs in Manor Lords

There are two primary methods to obtain herbs in Manor Lords: growing them within the settlement or trading with nearby towns.

1. Growing Herbs in the Settlement

To grow herbs in the settlement, players must follow these steps:

Once the Herb Garden is built and a family is assigned to work there, they will gather berries and produce herbs for the settlement.

2. Trading for Herbs

Players can also acquire herbs by importing them from nearby villages through the Trading Post. To do this:

1. Interact with the Trading Post in the settlement and open the Trade tab.
2. Navigate to the Crafting Materials section within the Trade tab.
3. Find Herbs in the Materials section and set the Trade rule to Import.
4. Click on "Establish A Trade Route" to begin importing herbs.

While trading for herbs is a quicker method, it can be more expensive in terms of Regional Wealth compared to growing them within the settlement.

Using Herbs to Cure Diseases

When villagers fall ill, they can recover by resting. However, using herbs can speed up the healing process and allow them to return to work more quickly. The use of herbs is a passive process; villagers will automatically consume them when they become sick, provided there is a sufficient supply available in the settlement.

In conclusion, herbs are a crucial resource in Manor Lords for maintaining the health and productivity of the settlement's population. Players can obtain herbs by growing them in the Forager's Hut or by trading with nearby villages. By ensuring a steady supply of herbs and providing a diverse range of food options, players can prevent the spread of diseases and keep their villagers healthy. With this knowledge, lords can effectively manage their settlements and overcome the challenges posed by illnesses in Manor Lords.
