Three-Star Sacred Lotus (Saint-tier Herb): Harvested using a clumsy, Intermediate-level Herb Gathering skill. Due to insufficient precision and technique, the lotus has suffered damage. If consumed in its current condition, there is a 50% chance the user will experience a Mana Backlash, resulting in a complete Level Reset. Even if consumed successfully, the user must reach Level 80 before the lotus's effects can be fully absorbed.
To unlock its power ahead of time, the lotus must be repaired by a Grandmaster Alchemist using sap extracted from the stem of a Starlight Frost-Bloom. This process will cleanse impurities and restore the herb to peak condition. There is no alternative method.
Marcus stared at the system screen, his jaw slack. A scream of pure frustration clawed at his throat. He felt the insane urge to either burst into tears or hurl his headset through the wall.
"What the hell is a Starlight Frost-Bloom?" he muttered, his voice hoarse with disbelief.
