AB Herbs Yucca

SYNTAX: Scrub with Yucca
Found along the rivers of the Basin, Yucca is a reed-like plant that grows in tall, feathery clumps. The root of this plant lathers into a gentle soap, and is used in water for scrubbing away stink and messy substances.

Environment: River
Plane: The Prime Material Plane
Peak Month: Shanthin

The idea is that it works like a cleansing charm, but you have to be in water with it and still SCRUB. But with Yucca, you only have to scrub once.

Imitates the golden soap, doens't it? Or can golden soap be used anywhere? If the first, I think this would just demolish the uniqueness of golden soap, and it wouldn't be fair for the people who purchased it.

Well actually instead of just having what ever the skills are that make you smell, just affect you. You could have them affect your clothing which means you would need this Yucca herb to clean them individually, while the golden soap would cleanse everything at once anywhere.

There's a golden soap? I didn't even know that existed. It is an artifact?

It was auctioned for about 80 credits or so.

I was under the impression that the golden soap works anywhere, and his idea is only useable in water.

However, essentially, it's an herb that saves you a few seconds. If you're actually going to scrub in a river, you're usually not pressed for time.

As far as I am aware if, aye... there was an auction for a few... 100 credits.
Sorry, I still think I can find much better uses for it.

I was just thinking when I was scrubbing nasty stinky pus off of me from that damned bulbous spider, that it would be really nice to have some sort of soap that could clean me right up, rather than having to scrub over and over and over again.

Of course, being a trans herbalist, I thought an herb that did that would be nice.

Buy cleanse.
Richter2005-11-25 23:00:00
So, instead of scrubbing three times, you just want to scrub once. Kids these days, looking for shortcuts... Back in -my- day... *drift*

Buy cleanse or bother a mage. Takes 2 uses to clean you and make you smell pretty again.

Actually, what would be nice is if the yucca acted just like normal scrubbing except you didn't need water. I mean isn't that the point of the plant? I know Bedouin use some plant to wash themselves without needing water. And it would grow in the desert.
Arix2005-11-26 02:30:18
yeah, I mean, I usually don't mind burning off a cleanse spell if it means not gagging when someone enters the room

The enchantment you only have to use once and your clean, when you scrub you have to do it multiple times. The plant would be a weaker more useless version of cleanse.
