Herb and Fable: The Dandelion Trail

Herb & Fable in Second Life is out of Beta and into Live Phase One, starting with a new Quest: The Dandelion Trail.

Like the Beta Quest before it, the Dandelion Trail has you hunting all over the Centauria region for ingredients to make recipes. In this case you’re hunting for dandelions to make dandelion tea. You can also make dandelion cookies, which if you do all the steps yourself, can take some time! Youll require these ingredients:

HnF_dandelion_biscuits requires the following ingredients:
HnF_cookie_mix: 1
HnF_dandelion_flowers: 15
HnF_lemon_juice: 1
HnF_lemon_zest: 1

You can see some of the various ingredients at the differents stages of the process in the picture above (which took a lot of time and corn to have enough to display them all!)

The lengthy part is making cornflour, which requires you to:

  1. Grow Corn Cobs
  2. Soak the cobs to get kernels
  3. Grind the kernels up into mush
  4. Dry the mushed kernels
  5. Grind the dried, mushed kernels into flour

Alternatively you can buy some cornflour at the Herb & Fable store, like you would in the real world, but the process was educational and you gain an extra badge. When you’ve got your cornflour you’ll be able to make cookie dough mix. There are several other ingredients you’ll need though:

HnF_cookie_mix requires the following ingredients:
HnF_sugar: 1
HnF_butter: 1
HnF_eggs: 1
HnF_wheat_flour: 1
HnF_cornflour: 1
HnF_whipped_egg_white: 1
HnF_sea_salt: 1

So your shopping list consists of:

  • Herb & Fable – Bowl (to soak the corn)
  • Herb & Fable – Whisk (to whip eggs into egg white)
  • Sugar
  • Butter
  • Lemons (to make into juice)
  • Lemon Zest
  • Eggs (to whip)
  • Sea salt
  • If you don’t have them already, you will also need Wheat, Dandelion and Maize beds plus seeds for growing your other ingredients.

Possibly that sounds a little overwhelming if you’re just starting out, but start with the tea and go from there. There’s a great coomunity of other players that can help you along the way in the Inworld Group and the Discord server.
