Grasses (Japanese: 草) are edible items that appear in Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate. There are thirty-four variants of them in total, including seeds and herbs.

Summary

Grasses exists in all Shiren games, but this item category has sometimes been called "Herbs" in earlier games in the series. The terms grass, herb, and seed are effectively interchangeable in these games. Prior game "equivalent" items are virtually identical, but they may or may not behave identically in Shiren 5 as they did in prior games in the series.

Grasses are single use consumables usually with a magic effect. The primary way to use them is to eat them, in which case the effect is on the player, but you can also throw them at creatures to affect them instead if you hit.

In addition to any magic effect, consuming any grass also gives you 5 food value; while not much, it can make a big difference to your survival if you're low on food.

Grasses can be blessed or sealed, but not cursed . If sealed, they can't be eaten, and they lose their magic effect when thrown at creatures, doing just 2 HP of damage instead if they hit. Blessed grasses can still only be consumed or thrown once but generally have double the effect One important exception to this is that the primary way to use both Revival Grass and Undo Grass is to leave them anywhere in your inventory . They trigger automatically when you collapse, reviving you to full health and full strength and removing all status ailments or offering you the choice to either escape the dungeon or revive . After these items trigger once, they turn into Weeds. But, if they were blessed when they trigger, they just lose their blessing and can be used again . These are amazingly powerful survival items, with virtually no downsides. There appears to enforce a strict order as to which "trigger-on-death" item will take priority, and the order seems to be Undo > Revival > Repeat > Gut. In other words, if you have multiple copies of both Undo Grass and Revival Grass spread throughout your inventory, the earliest copy of the Undo Grass will trigger first. Beware the "evil twin" versions of these grasses which deliberately have the same prices as the "good twin" items, making them impossible to tell apart via price identification alone. The trigger-on-death order listed above is not fully tested, so if you do identify one of these "evil twin" grasses, it's best to consume it for food value or otherwise get rid of it and not have to worry about it interfering with your emergency grasses.

Since many grasses are also rune ingredients, the runes have also been added as columns to the reference chart below. So many common grasses make good runes that it's not a bad idea to just try to mix them unidentified any time you find a Mixer monster; not only will this likely make a good rune most of the time but it will also identify the grass type in your current game state if successful, and if not successful, then you have vastly narrowed down the types it might be. See Runes and Identifying Items for more info.
