I Found That: Botanist V - Is this intended?

[TarynH]

I recently obtained my blessed pickaxe on miner. I did not have to mine a single 3 star folklore item to get the achievement.

Now I'm working on botanist, and I'm currently at 227/230 items. I have one more folklore book to obtain, but it only opens up 3 items, one of which is 3 star. Leaving me 1 short of 230.

Am I missing something, or do I seriously need one 3 star folklore item to get the hatchet? (An item which is intended to help you get to that level.)
