    Speaking of Miqo'te lore, I was made quite curious by this sentence they added to the alchemist's official page: "It is based on fundamental principles originating in the Near East tradition, but draws heavily upon esoteric elements of both Lalafellin herbalism and Miqo'te occultism as well."

    What occultism? I'd love more info about that. D:

    I just took it to mean like a witch's brew, including ingredients like eye of newt and whatnot. General tribal stereotyping.

    Pretty much, also they live in the Sagoli desert and maybe there are poisonous critters and plants that they have remedies for or just the different plant species period they could use.

    With us journeying (at least from the video) into the Sagoli desert we'll be able to uncover truths about the Sil'dih civilization and more about the Miqo'te.
