Ginseng can only be found via foraging, finding 2-8 at a time. It will never be found unless the player has the herbalist Herbalist trait or has read The Herbalist The Herbalist magazine.

Like other plants, ginseng cannot be found during winter. It is most common in deep forest, however can also be found in forest, vegetation, farmland and farm zones.

Park rangers will have a massive chance increase in finding ginseng, whilst veterans, farmers, chefs, burger flippers, doctors, nurses, fitness instructors and being unemployed will have a small chance increase.

Having the herbalist trait will further increase the chance of finding ginseng, whilst having the former scout, hiker, hunter, gardener, outdoorsman, cook or nutritionist traits will provide a minor increase.
