Mr. Do's Book on Herbal Medicine is the quest that lets Mr. Do, a pharmacist in Mu Lung, make medicine for you. He is not a plain quest NPC. He has a menu, and he is the only one who makes the Peach Tree Herb Pouch that Tae Soo needs.
Mr. Do claims to be Tae Sang's top student and a great pharmacist in his own right. Tae Soo, protector of the Peach Farm, would rather not ask Tae Sang (who owns the farm) for a tree tonic, so he sends you to Mr. Do instead.
Mr. Do's Book on Herbal Medicine
- Talk to Mr. Do in Mu Lung (level 40 or higher, any job). The quest is only offered while you do not already hold a Book on Herbal Medicine.
- Collect 25 Old Paper. It drops from The Book Ghost around Mu Lung (also from King Sage Cat). It drops whether or not the quest is active.
- Bring the 25 Old Paper back to Mr. Do. Reward: the Book on Herbal Medicine. No EXP.
- Keep the book. Mr. Do checks for it every time you ask for medicine, and it is not used up.
The quest can only be done once.
Tae Soo's Peach Tree Herb Pouch
- Tae Soo in Peach Farm1 (level 55, any job) offers "Tae Soo Protecting the Peach Tree" and asks for 1 Peach Tree Herb Pouch.
- Nothing drops the pouch, and no quest gives it. Only Mr. Do makes it.
- With the Book on Herbal Medicine in your bag, talk to Mr. Do, choose "Make a medicine", then the Peach Tree Herb Pouch. Each pouch costs 20 Straw Doll, 20 Wooden Doll, 20 Bellflower and 1,000 Vesos. You need room in your Etc tab.
- Give the pouch to Tae Soo. Reward: 52,000 EXP and 15 Peach.
Where the ingredients come from: Straw Doll drops from Straw Target Dummy, Wooden Doll drops from Wooden Target Dummy, and Bellflower drops from Bellflower Root. All three are found in the Mu Lung area.
If you are on Tae Soo's quest, have already finished the book quest, and hold neither the book nor a pouch, Mr. Do gives you a pouch for free as soon as you talk to him. He says:
Your Etc tab needs a free slot, or he asks you to make room first.
Mr. Do's Vigor Tonic
Mr. Do's Vigor Tonic is a daily tonic that raises your Max HP for good. It is for the classes that grow the least HP.
| Who | Magicians, Bowmen and Thieves (Dual Blades too), Gunslingers, Outlaws and Corsairs, Blaze Wizards, Wind Archers and Night Walkers |
|---|---|
| Level | 50 or higher |
| Bring | 20 Ginseng-Boiled Water and 20 Bellflower |
| Reward | +100 Max HP, permanent |
| Repeat | Once a day, up to 10 times (+1,000 Max HP in all) |
- Talk to Mr. Do in Mu Lung and accept the tonic.
- Collect 20 Ginseng-Boiled Water from Ginseng Jars and 20 Bellflower from Bellflower Roots in the Herb Garden just outside Mu Lung (10-Year-Old Herb Garden through Bellflower Valley).
- Bring them back to Mr. Do. He brews the tonic, and your Max HP goes up by 100 straight away.
- Come back the next day for another bottle. After the tenth, he no longer offers it.
Warriors, Brawlers, Thunder Breakers, Aran and Tamers are not offered the tonic.
Talking to him shows these options, under any quests he has for you: "Make a medicine", "Make a scroll" and "Donate medicine ingredients".
Make a medicine
You need the Book on Herbal Medicine for this. Without it, he refuses:
With the book, pick a medicine and type how many you want (1 to 100 at a time). He lists the total materials and Vesos and asks Yes or No. The costs in the table are per item.
| Medicine | What it does | Materials | Vesos |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canned Peach | Recovers around 1,000 HP | 3 Peach | none |
| Peach Juice | Recovers around 500 MP | 3 Peach | none |
| Bellflower Medicine Soup | Attack +6 for 10 minutes | 10 Snake Leather, 10 Bellflower | 910 |
| Pill of Tunnel Vision | Accuracy +12 for 10 minutes | 20 Acorn, 1 Sniper Potion | 950 |
| Pill of Intelligence | Magic Attack +10 for 10 minutes | 20 Broken Deer Horn, 20 Ginseng-Boiled Water | 1,940 |
| Slithering Balm | Avoidability +12 for 10 minutes | 10 Mr. Alli's Leather | 600 |
| All Cure Potion | Cures any abnormal state | 1 Ginseng Concentrate, 1 Bellflower Concentrate | 700 |
| Peach Tree Herb Pouch | For Tae Soo's quest | 20 Straw Doll, 20 Wooden Doll, 20 Bellflower | 1,000 |
If anything is missing, or your bag is full, he says:
Nothing is taken when he refuses.
Where the ingredients come from: Snake Leather drops from Blue or Red Flower Serpents. Acorn drops from Chipmunks. Broken Deer Horn drops from Reindeer. Ginseng-Boiled Water drops from Ginseng Jars. Mr. Alli's Leather drops from Mr. Alli.
Make a scroll
Every scroll costs 100 Dr. Do's Marble and 10 Steel Ore, with no Vesos. Each craft makes one scroll. You normally get the 100% scroll. One time in 10, you get the 60% version of the same scroll instead ("A lucky find!").
Scrolls offered (attack scrolls, one per weapon type): One-Handed Sword, One-Handed Axe, One-Handed BW, Dagger, Wand (Magic Att.), Staff (Magic Att.), Two-handed Sword, Two-handed Axe, Two-handed BW, Spear, Pole Arm, Bow, Crossbow, Claw, Knuckle and Gun.
Donate medicine ingredients
Donating is how you get Dr. Do's Marbles. Donations go in lots of 100 of one ingredient, and each lot pays Dr. Do's Marbles. A range means the amount varies at random within it.
| Ingredient | Marbles per 100 |
|---|---|
| Acorn | 7 |
| Thimble | 7 |
| Needle Pouch | 7-8 |
| Necki Flower | 10 |
| Necki Swimming Cap | 11 |
| Broken Piece of Pot | 8 |
| Ginseng-Boiled Water | 7-8 |
| Straw Doll | 7-9 |
| Wooden Doll | 7-8 |
| Bellflower | 9 |
| 100-Year-Old Bellflower | 10 |
| Old Paper | 10-11 |
| Yellow Belt | 11 |
| Broken Deer Horn | 11-12 |
| Red Belt | 13 |
| Peach Seed | 13 |
| Mr. Alli's Leather | 14 |
| Cat Doll | 15 |
| Mark of the Pirate | 15-16 |
| Captain's Hat | 17 |
You need room in your Etc tab for the marbles. If there is no room, he says "...lacking space in your etc inventory".
So one scroll (100 marbles) takes roughly 6 to 15 lots of 100 ingredients, depending on what you donate. Captain's Hat pays the most, at 17 marbles per 100.
Common problems
- Mr. Do has no dialogue for Tae Soo's quest. He has no quest line for it. Use his "Make a medicine" menu to make the Peach Tree Herb Pouch. You need his book first.
- He says to study the Book on Herbal Medicine first. Do his book quest (25 Old Paper) and keep the book in your bag.
- You lost the book. If you are on Tae Soo's quest, Mr. Do hands you a pouch for free. The book quest itself cannot be repeated.
- Making fails. Check every material, the Vesos and a free slot in the right tab: Use for medicines and scrolls, Etc for the pouch and marbles.
- Can you get the pouch from Tae Sang? No. Tae Soo specifically wants Mr. Do's pouch, and Tae Sang does not make it.
