Survival skill

How is this used? It says the ability to gather herbs and dress wounds. I have not found any herbs in game, do they have to be bought? How are they used, like Alchemy? Or is it required to use a bandage? (Which i have done)

For my healing purposes should I go with survival or alchemy?

You don't actually gather these herbs and such. Survival assumes you know how to dress wounds and find herbs to help you heal, so, as your Survival skill increases so does your HP recovery rate. You'll see that you heal faster while walking and resting. When it is high enough, you can even "out heal" the effects of poison (I'm not sure how high you have to be for this...I'd have to dig into the code and check the tables).

Survival is really about healing and boosting certain resistance scores passively.

Alchemy is a much more flexible skill but requires more active work to use.

Good to know..I coudn't figure this skill out either.

Survival = HP regeneration and another skill regenerates mana faster.

I suggest that in parenthesis it says that the skill increases HP regeneration. It would go a long way toward alleviating confusion. I couldn't figure out what the skill did, either.
