A plantain poultice is a first aid item.

Usage

Plantain can be used in conjunction with a bandage to increase the recovery rate of a wound. The poultice must be applied to the wound first, followed by the bandage. Once applied, the poultice cannot be removed, and will be consumed when completely healed or over time based on the plantain factor. Only one poultice can be applied to a wound at a time.

Recovery rate

Plantain poultice will increase the healing rate of a wound by approximately 40%, when compared to using a bandage on its own. It will have no effect on the wound recovery rate unless a bandage is applied.

Plantain factor

The life of the poultice is determined by a value referred to as the “plantain factor” which scales with the player's first aid skill. This is calculated by getting a random number between (first aid level + 1) * 0.5 + 10 and (first aid level + 1) * 1.0 + 10. While healing the wound, the poultice will deteriorate at a rate of 1 unit every 26 seconds, meaning 13–26 seconds are added to the life of the poultice per first aid level. The poultice will not be consumed or heal the wound unless a bandage is also applied. It's important to note that the effects of the first aid skill are only relevant to the individual applying the poultice, and not the individual with the wound.
