TVDex252 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 So I'm on the challenge where you need to the pick 43 different plants and I'm struggling to find the Acuna's Star Orchid. I've found it twice before during my playthrough and for some reason, I cannot find a single one anymore. I've checked several guides and videos for locations and they just aren't there. I have found other types of Orchids, as far as I know, this is the only one I can't seem to find. Has anyone else run into this issue? Do these plants respawn? And if so how do I get them to respawn?

Sleeping for 3 days seems to repsawn most things in the game. Also consider using "Dirty Tyler's" YouTube video as he made a great guide on where to find all of them.

TVDex252 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 I've searched that area, I used PowerPyx's map guide for it as well to check other areas. I used his guide for all the exotics and found them no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTorito Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) On what step are you on the exotics quest? There is a mechanism in the game that prevents more orquids to spawn I guess in order for you to actually complete both the quest and the challenge. In my case I was picking ahead some orquids (4/5 Spider ones) and they stopped spawning eventually; they respawned once I reached the specific quest step and I were on Herbalist 9 (my guess is you need both active) Edited November 16, 2018 by BlackTorito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say but you will have to progress to this part of exotics quest first if you want to complete the herbalist challenge #9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVDex252 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Ahh alright, that makes sense. This doesn't bother me seeing as I was going for 100% and would have had to progress the Exotics quest at some point anyway. Thanks for the info guys!

x7eight Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I think this may be missable or at least I'm yet to find a workaround. I completed the exotics quests and picked up all 5 dragon orchids, nows there no more for me to pick for herbalist 9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They grow just like any regular plants so you can’t miss them. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, thanks, worked it out I just had to look in different location, guide I used said there's only 5 in games so I got a Lil scare but all is well. ?

ImStylinOnYaBro Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 does anyone have a clue how long it takes for the herbs to respawn once picked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For regular herbs, 3 in-game days was usually enough to get them to grow back. I never needed to wait for exotics to grow back but I assume it would be the same.
