How to use Herb Catalysts

Herb Catalysts are permanent upgrade materials that enhance the effectiveness of your Medicine Pipe. They directly improve your survivability by increasing how much health you recover with each use.

Upgrading the Medicine Pipe requires one Herb Catalyst and 800 Jin per level. Every upgrade raises the pipe's base healing by 7.5 Health, providing a steady and reliable boost. Since healing items are limited in combat, increasing the amount restored per use can significantly reduce the pressure during extended fights.
