Alchemist/Gathering

Gathering information for alchemist.

General
Alchemists can pick flowers from plant spawns. Note that some of these plants (Hemp, Flax) are also cereals: an alchemist will get flowers from them (Hemp Flowers, Flax Flowers), while farmers will reap cereals (Hemp, Flax). Be sure to choose the correct tool (and menu option) if you are both an Alchemist and a Farmer.

For a list of all flowers and plants by location, see Flowers & Plants.
