Black Sage (Dried) is Black Sage that has been dried for storage. It eases pain when eaten, just like the fresh herb.
It suits a survivor who forages in the warm months and wants pain relief later. Its strength is that it keeps, while a fresh sprig spoils within about a week. The relief from each sprig stays mild.
Most dried sage is made by drying fresh Black Sage. A few bundles also turn up in survivor safehouses. The Doctor is the best occupation for first aid. It starts with the most First Aid skill. The Nurse and the Park Ranger also start with some First Aid skill.
How to Use Black Sage (Dried)
The dried herb is eaten straight from the inventory. Each sprig gives the same small pain relief as fresh Black Sage. It helps after a fight, a fall or a deep wound.
A sprig before bed can ease pain enough to let a survivor sleep. It also works as a spice in hot drinks such as tea.
Painkillers come ten to a bottle but are found only as loot. A dried stock of sage is the renewable backup once those run out.
Locations
Dried sage is mostly made by drying fresh Black Sage after foraging or harvest. As loot it is rare. Medicine cabinets and counters in survivor safehouses hold some now and then. The odds are best in safehouses from the middle and late game.
