Plan a six-piece Herbology III gear set, Fertiliser double toss and plant damage with an adjustable DPS calculator.
Quick Answer
Fertiliser throws two Chinese Chomping Cabbages for one inventory use. Add Herbology III to all six gear pieces for an exceptionally strong plant build, and keep Venomous Tentacula nearby for ranged support. Damage per bite varies with gear and enemy defenses; 1,500+ is a possible showcase value, not a flat guaranteed hit.

Why the mechanic works
The appeal is simple: a cabbage attacks by itself, which frees you to dodge, heal, use Disillusionment or reposition. Fertiliser effectively doubles the number deployed per inventory use. Six Herbology III traits improve plant damage across the gear set; if you want only cabbage damage, compare Fangs III as well, while Venom III specializes in Venomous Tentacula.Easy step-by-step guide
- Unlock Fertiliser in the Room of Requirement talent tree.
- Grow Chinese Chomping Cabbages in suitable pots; buy seeds and large-enough potting tables if required.
- Acquire Herbology III trait plans from trait-category Collection Chests in bandit camps.
- Weave Herbology III into your six gear slots at the Enchanted Loom; gather the required beast resources first.
- Throw cabbage into an arena, then place Venomous Tentacula so it can apply pressure from another angle.
- Stay mobile or use Disillusionment without assuming it makes you permanently undetectable in combat.
Mistakes & extra tips
- Max active cabbages: three Fertiliser throws can create six attacking cabbages, subject to enemy/encounter behavior.
- A high-damage number depends on character level, Offense stat, trait stack, combat difficulty and target resistance.
- A reliable plant farm is worth more than spending every cabbage on weak enemies.
