Guide to TherianSim Herbalism (now with pictures!!)

Postby Melindra » Wed 19 Apr 2017, 23:09

TherianSim.com has become the most powerful, dependable and indispensable tool for playing Therian Saga. However, it's user interface is not easy to use. (sorry, aknoth!) I hope this picture guide will help those of you who are reluctant to use it.

Step 1:
Click Simulators>Herbalism (the herbalism overview is for finding "best potions")

Step 2:
Choose a skill from the dropdown that you want to make a potion for. In this case, let's choose "Cave".

Step 3:
Minimum score to reach means the MINIMUM stat you want your potion to have. If you leave at 0, the sim will not give any results. Let's put 2.
"Up to +" 2. This means the sim will add 2 to our minimum, which will find potions up to +4. If you put in 8, it will add 8 to your minimum and find potions up to +10. :lol:

Step 4:
Input here your Effective herbalism skill without a potion. This way the sim will ONLY find potions that YOU can make. :)
If you check the box, it will list ALL potions without regard to skill level.

Step 5:
If you want to find potions that are also a bit outside of your effective skill level, input a value here for the herbalism potion you have access to. For example, my effective skill is 63, and if I put 7 in this box, it will give me potions up to level 70 to make. You should leave this field at "0" if you don't want to use a herbalism potion when finding your results. However, often you can be just outside of range to make your desired potion, so putting a small number in here, like 2 or 3, will give more results.

Step 6:
This is the BEST part! Here you can choose the herbs that you have access to for the sim to use in its search. The sim will magically remember your choices so you don't have to keep inputting this in every time! (All Hail Aknoth!!)

Step 7:
Here you can choose to use "runes" for making runic potions. This is advanced stuff and incredibly useful late-game, but for now, let's uncheck the box so we don't get any runic potions in the search.
step07.png

Step 8:
Here we can choose to use meta plants in our search. Again, more late game and not accessible for early/mid game. So let's uncheck this box, too.
step08.png

Step 9:
Let's see what happens!!

Step 10:
Now we get a BUNCH of results. It's sorted by highest cave skill to lowest cave skill. We can further change the results by selecting or deselecting more herbs in Step 6. You can also sort by the Difficulty, the Type of potion (Vial or Ampoule), the toxicity, or potion duration.

Now you should have everything you need to make ALL the POTIONZ!!!
Hope you found this useful and hope you love theriansim as much as I do <3<3<3<3

In step 3, it is possible to put decimals (eg .2).
I use it when the list with +1 is too long

Thank you very much for this post and your kind words.

If you have suggestions, I am open to change some fields' descriptions if it helps (with same average width though), however it should now be crystal clear with your explaination.

I should take some time to do the same for the french forum or even directly on the website. Especially for personnal lists (setting and use).


NB : for step 7/8, if "include runism" is unchecked no need to clear runes or meta plants select box, they won't be included in the simulation.

Thank you for clarifying this! Yes, all number fields can accept decimals as input. I used whole numbers for simplicity. :)

Thank you for the clarification! You are also welcome to use my pictures on the French forum, if that's easier for you. I personally don't have any suggestions to change the field names. Your sims make perfect sense to me. However, I see lots of people in global who don't know how to use this (*stares at Laer*) and I really don't understand why not. Hopefully this will bridge the gap. ♥
