Characteristics
Overview
An advanced harvesting tea, provides hydration and temporarily boosts the amount of resources you receive from harvesting corpses a moderate amount.
Bears are where this one pays off. A bear carcass is big, and the game text promises a moderate boost to everything you harvest from corpses, a step up from the small one in a Basic Harvesting Tea. Drinking it for a lone chicken throws away a lot of berries.
You mix it at the Mixing Table from basic harvesting teas, so every cup stands for several basic ones. The next rung, Pure Harvesting Tea, promises a large boost and is mixed from advanced cups in turn.
- Kill the bear and anything else close by first, so every body is already on the ground.
- Eat a Bear Pie and drink the tea right after. The pie's game text says it strengthens harvesting teas but shortens them.
- Skin without stopping.
The order matters because of that shorter duration. Eat, drink, then run off after a wolf, and the stronger effect ends on an empty field. Done right, the same kill sends you home with noticeably more raw bear meat, fat and hide.
