Stranglekelp (Herb)
- Found exclusively underwater.
- Used most frequently in underwater breathing potions.
- The whole of the plant can be eaten, but it is very salty, and rubbery when fresh.
- When used in cooking, it can be used either in powder form, or chopped. It can also be eaten raw.
* WARNING *
Stranglekelp is often very, very deep down and as such, a water breathing potion or spell may be advisable if you intend to gather it.
I never thought I'd say this, but the best place to farm Stranglekelp as of 4.0.1 is Thousand Needles.
