Old Man's Beard Wound Dressing is a type of natural First Aid item used to eliminate infection risk.
Overview[]
Old Man's Beard Wound Dressing is created with Old Man's Beard Lichen, which functions as an Antiseptic that will disinfect a single wound, thus removing any chance of Infection. They weigh the same as a normal Bandage.
Previously, before release of 0.423, "Faithful Cartographer," Old Man's Beard Wound Dressing functioned as a regular Bandage combined with an Old Man's Beard Lichen.
Tips[]
- Old Man's Beard Lichen can be harvested from low hanging pine branches.
- Old Man's Beard Lichen do not respawn on trees, but are plentiful especially in wilder regions.
- They can be acquired renewably via Beachcombing.
- Old Man's Beard Lichen weighs 0.01kg (0.02lbs), but its crafted version "Old Man's Beard Wound Dressing" weighs 0.1kg (0.22lbs). This makes the raw (uncrafted) version far more weight efficient, at the expense of requiring to craft the dressing as needed.
- Antiseptic/Old Man's Beard Wound Dressings do not need to be applied immediately after sustaining an injury to eliminate infection risk; though they should be applied as early as possible, since waiting long periods of time (e.g. 6+ hours) increases the chances of an Infection despite antiseptic being used.
