A warm tingling washes over you.

— upon consuming

witchwood bark is an early game healing item that is harvested (using the Harvestry skill) from ripe witchwood trees, which have red bark instead of brown. They are also sold by apothecaries.

Consuming one will instantly heal the user by ♥1d16+2425-40 (Avg: 32.5) HP. However, if the strength of Confusion (1d8) is greater than the consumer's MA * (Amount eaten in a row) * 3, the creature will be inflicted with Confused for 5d35-15 (Avg: 10) turns. "In a row" in this case refers to the number of witchwood barks are eaten within 15 turns of each other. [1]

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • Passing the confusion save is directly tied to MA, so having high willpower will mitigate the confusion effects.
  • Once confused, there is no drawback to eating more, if you are able to find which item stack is the witchwood bark,and if you pay attention to the message box when you consume it,it will spell the word it changed to if you get confused (instead of"witchwood bark" it would spell "you ate the "random confused name")
  • They are extremely cheap and easy to find, which make them near essential for the early game.
  • Strategies for combating Confused apply here.
  • While harvestry makes acquiring large amounts of witchwood bark easier, it is also a viable strategy to buy it, due to its extremely low commerce value and thus price.
