Rose Hip Tea is a natural medical and food item used to treat Afflictions in The Long Dark.

Overview

Rose Hip Tea functions similar to Painkillers for treating Afflictions, and is cooked from one Prepared Rose Hips (24 Rose Hips) and 0.25 liters of Water (Potable) at a lit Fire. Consuming prepared Rose Hip Tea (even without treating an Affliction) restores 100 Calories, 30% Hydration and potentially grants the benefit "Warming Up." Cooking Rose Hip Tea increases Cooking Skill.

Prepared Rose Hips are crafted from 24 Rose Hips and takes 15 minutes (in-game) to prepare. Rose Hips can can be found in the wilderness growing on Rose Bushes, typically in clusters of 1-4 units, a single Rose Bush yields 8 Rose Hips when Harvested. Rose Hips can be found rarely inside of containers. They cannot be directly consumed and must first be crafted into Prepared Rose Hips and then cooked into Rose Hip Tea.

Rose Hip Tea and Painkillers are used to treat the following Afflictions:

• Pain (1 dose), or 4 hours if untreated)
• Burns (1 dose, or 30 hours if untreated)
• Broken Ribs (2 doses and 2 Bandages, and 120 hours of Sleep)

The effect of Rose Hip Tea is not generalized throughout the body, and each dose will only treat one injury, and should be applied to the injuring requiring them as treatment (e.g. "Broken Ribs" and "Burns" will display as separate Afflictions, with each requiring separate doses to treat).

Prepared Rose Hips have half the weight of their raw form, and no form of Rose Hips Decay.

Tips

• Teas may be heated/reheated to grant the Warming Up Benefit by placing them on a fire's cooking spot, or nearby a lit fire.
• Teas are more weight efficient than Water for the Hydration they grant. (0.1kg of a tea grants 30% Hydration, equivalent to 0.25kg of water).
• Teas never decay once cooked.
• The condition of Painkillers decays slowly over time (based on Survival Mode). Upon reaching 0% Condition, they become unusable and will disappear if inside of a container, but all forms of Rose Hips do not decay.

History

• Rose Hips and other harvestable plants and remedies were introduced on 7 February 2015 in update 0.192.
• As of the 1.0 Wintermute update (August 1, 2017) Rose Hips must be prepared before cooking them.
