[col]An Apothecary formulates and dispenses materia medica to other medics as well as their patients. Most medics have a firm understanding of pharmacology and botony, while trainees most commonly collect various herbs throughout the countryside that are verified as correct by their mentor, many Medics mill their own herbs and distill their own tinctures for use on a personal and a professional level.
Kali Melon: A low-growing, leafless plant that can be found throughout Wind Country. Slow-growing, it fares poorly in areas rich in moisture as other more aggressive plant-life often chokes this plant out. The melons are fist-sized and covered by a thick fibrous shell that often requires a knife to break open.
Midnight Bloom: A small, poisonous blossom that grows underground in the deeper caverns. The flower itself is quite pretty, a deep violet mass of petals, despite the dangers associated with its consumption many enjoy having his flower in their home because of how attractive it is.
Wax Fruit: This evergreen shrub can grow anywhere from 2 to 4 m (6 ft 7 in to 13 ft 1 in) in height under favorable conditions. The leaves of the plant are small and leathery, reaching 12 cm × 4 cm (4.7 in × 1.6 in). The Wax fruit plant produces fruits, clustered in small bunches, in the form of yellow spherical berries, up to 1.5 cm (0.59 in) in diameter. These fruits contain 1–4 seeds, which are a greenish hue when mature. Components of the plant (bark, twigs, leaves, fruits) can be added to a bucket of murky water, and the natural coagulants will cause clay and other particulates to compact and sink the bottom, allowing clear water to be obtained from the top.
The Fruit:The fruit can be consumed raw and cooked. Raw fruits initially contain a sweet pulp that then dries out to a sugary solid, difficult to separate from seed. Fruits are often cooked prior to consumption. Juice can also be extracted and boiled down into a butter-like consistency that can be mixed with millet and milk to make cakes. In Soons Haven, the fruit is fermented into a beer. The seeds are toxic, but there is a process known as debittering where the bitter and toxic compounds are removed from the seeds. The seeds are dried in the sun, the outer coat is removed and the remaining meat of the seed is soaked in water for several days, each day the water being replaced before the seed is finally boiled. The cooked seed has a texture similar to a chickpea and is used in cereals, stews, soups and porridge as well as making flour. This flour, however is rather bland but high in protein. Sometimes the bitter is used as a toxin in poisons some Medics manufacture.
The Leaves: The leaves due to their proven biocidal activities, leaves are also added to granaries to protect cereals against pathogens. Leaves have many medicinal properties, notably anti-parasitic, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. Leaves, although not pleasant to taste, can be used as emergency forage for animals.
The Root: Young roots can be ground and boiled down into a thick, sweet porridge.
The Wood: When dried, this can serve as fuel for a fire. It is too thin for housing in most cases but there have been rare instances where a massive plant was discovered and the wood was utilized.Wax Fruit
Willow Paw: A small plant that can be found both above ground as well as underground, it enjoys the dry climate of wind country so it is almost never found near a water source. The small bush is only about the size of a human head and has no leaves, rather it has small clusters of fuzz. This soft silky fuzz can be spun to make garments, but it requires a large amount of willow paw to do so making such articles of clothing very pricey.
Flower: The white fuzzy cluster, sometimes as large as a cabbage can be used to make clothes and yarn. It is also valued among Medics as a bandage due to its absorptive capabilities.Willow Paw
Zen: A plant that is anything but its name would make one imagine, this plant is for the most part entirely useless. It is a moss that can be found near bodies of water, but the moss is considered poisonous but only mildly so. The moss causes redness and itching that can last up to several days and in severe cases require hospitalization for sedation so that someone does not injure themselves attempting to scratch that itch that will not go away. It is often used as a school-boy's prank, but otherwise there is no known use.
Medics sometimes collect this to research possible uses for the plant be it medical or military. Also, they test the salves they make against this. If a player can feel some relief after being exposed to Zen moss, then the salve is exceptional. Thus far no salve has been considered 'exceptional.'Zen
Strangle Vine: An invasive plant that grows in the underbrush. It is a black, twisting knot of a plant with red leaves and no blooms but plentiful with thorns. If pierced by this plant, the affected may suffer minor paralysis that could last as long as a day in the affected extremity. Sometimes used as a cruel prank, this plant is usually avoided or burned whenever possible because it also chokes out other forms of plant life that wish to grow there. This paralytic is sometimes used to sedate inpatients.Strangle Vine
Knocksroot: A rather useful herb, it is a popular savory spice that is used on various meats and in soups. It has a rich, but not overpowering flavor. The plant itself is actually rather hard to find because it is found on the surface and is very low-lying so it is continually covered by the shifting sands. When exposed, it is a dinner-plate sized pale green plant that has been likened to a flattened cabbage. The "cabbage-flower" as it has been called is edible but has a bitter flavor but is dietetic. The root is bulbous with long branches. The root, when dried and granulated makes the spice.Knocksroot
[legend="[size=4][b][u]Mission: Flower Picking[/b][/u][/size]"]While arid, the desert hides a bounty of plants and herbs.

Kali Melon: A low-growing, leafless plant that can be found throughout Wind Country. Slow-growing, it fares poorly in areas rich in moisture as other more aggressive plant-life often chokes this plant out. The melons are fist-sized and covered by a thick fibrous shell that often requires a knife to break open. - The Melon: The Melon is savory and sweet. The meat is tender and juicy, some make a juice or a wine from this fluid. It is believed that the melon also has healing properties, while this allegation has never been proven it is a common component to homeopathic remedies to treat minor colds and fevers. Many old women swear that it decreases the duration of most illnesses.
The Seeds: The melon and its seeds are edible and in fact they are an important part of Wind Country's ecosystem. The serve as a consistent food source for many small animals and the seeds make a common gain used to make flour. The bread and baked goods have a sweet, almost honey-like taste.
The Wood: Feeble and insubstantial, it makes excellent kindling.
The Root: It is useless.
Midnight Bloom: A small, poisonous blossom that grows underground in the deeper caverns. The flower itself is quite pretty, a deep violet mass of petals, despite the dangers associated with its consumption many enjoy having his flower in their home because of how attractive it is.- The Seeds: Toxic, the poison is most concentrated here. The seeds cause severe GI upset, symptoms include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea and cramping. The poison is not deadly but it can be considered incapacitating. These symptoms can last anywhere from an hour to three days depending on how much was consumed in relation to total body weight. Sometimes used in psychiatric conditioning to associate a negative stimuli to a particular unwanted compulsion or habit.
The Flower: Pleasant to gaze upon, the bloom itself is toxic like the seeds but not nearly as much. A single bloom, however, is still sufficient enough to keep an unfortunate victim barricaded in the bathroom for a full hour. Many enjoy looking at these flowers and have the sense enough to not eat them and to wash their hands after handling. The flower also gives off a pleasant scent, this aroma is not used in making perfume due to the toxic nature of the plant.
The Root: Useless.
The Stem: Useless.
The Leaves: Useless.

- A user may only perform a mission of their current OOC Rank or lower. This mission is considered to match the Rank of the Medic or MiT who performs the mission.
What are the rewards for Solo Missions?

- D-Rank: 2,000 Yen
- C-Rank: 2,500 Yen
- B-Rank: 3,000 Yen
- A-Rank: 4,000 Yen

Just be sure that you have gotten permission from your primary community.
