Tips
- Do it while you train on Wraiths. They're Lv48 and undead, so Heal hurts them, and their subway lines are among the best EXP on Victoria Island.
- Medicine With Weird Vibes is tradeable, so you can buy it. Witchgrass Leaves are untradeable, so break the herbs yourself.
- Witch's Herbs grow on the same swamp maps as Ligators and Crocos, so stack this with The Alligators at the Swamp (Lv48).
- The capes are tradeable, so you can swap colors with a friend.
Still being confirmed
- Witch's Herb plants are the reported source of Witchgrass Leaves, but that isn't fully confirmed, and nobody knows yet how many leaves each plant gives.
- Stats for the Yellow and Blue Icarus Capes aren't confirmed yet.
