Crafting -- Herb Tables

Once you have grown and harvested your beYou Herbs, you will need to package or process them in order to sell, store or use them in crafting/cooking.

The Herb Tables have some helpful options for cutting, packaging or getting asset information for Fresh, Processed or Cut herbs. Not all herb tables have the same options so be sure to check what table you need before you buy.

## Requirements/Restrictions

The following requirements apply to both herb tables:

* The item is owner only and is No Copy/No Trans/No Mod.
* No level requirement
* 10% hygiene, 10% energy and 20% wellness.

## Herb Info

Herbs come in the assorted forms listed below:

* Seed/Plant/Tree - what you plant, cannot be sold as seeds can only be gifted through the beYou seed vendors at the main store.
* Harvest - what you receive once your herbs are fully grown from the plant. Loads directly into your assets.
* Fresh Herb (eg. beYou Rosemary) - what a harvest converts to for use. Automatically loaded into assets.
* Dried Herb - created from fresh herbs in the herb dehydrator. Some dried herbs are used for cooking. IMPORTANT: Be sure that a recipe actually calls for a dried herb before attempting to dry it.
* Cut Herb - applied to assets from any herb table using fresh herbs only. You can only get the cut herb vendors from ONLY a Crafted Herb Table.

## Basic Herb Table

The basic herb table is for personal use and cannot be used to package cut herbs of any kind. To create a vendor for cut herbs, you will need a crafted herb table.

## Using Herbs

There are multiple ways of using your herbs now that you've grown and harvested them.

1. Sit on your herb table.
2. Click the table and choose 'fresh herbs'.
3. Choose 'get pot'.
4. Rez the potted herb.
5. Click it.
6. Load uses.

The table will convert your fresh herb uses to herb cuts. You can then either use them in prescriptions & other crafted materials or you can get a vendor and sell them.

### Dehydrating Herbs

Depending on the herb, you can use the beYou Herb Dehydrator to dry your herbs and use them in recipes and/or other mixes.

## Getting Vendors

You can grab vendors to either sell or give away your fresh, processed (dried or seed byproducts) or cut herbs (if you have a crafted herb table).

To get your vendors:

1. Sit on the herb table.
2. Choose (1) Fresh Herbs, (2) Processed Herbs, or (3) Cut Herbs (if you have a crafted storage table).
3. Choose the herb you'd like to get a vendor for.
4. Choose either Vendor-P or Vendor-A. Once chosen the herb table will deliver whichever vendor you have chosen.

To set up the vendor, please follow the instructions on the beYou Vendors page.

**REMINDER**: You can only get the cut herbs vendor from the crafted herb table.
