Herbalism Leveling Guide and How To

Find different herbs and use them to cure, poison, or whatever that particular herb is used for (see Herb List).  What level you are determines what herbs you are able to pick and/or use.  When Herbalism hits level 50, you get 10 permanent points to choose to put in Magic, Hand to Hand, or Agility.  Create potions by combining different materials into a mixture when you hit level 100 in Herbalism.
