Honeycomb

A heavy chunk of honeycomb from beehives – Restore Stamina, Fortify Block and Light Armor.

Honeycomb is taken straight from beehives. At 1.0 weight it’s one of the heaviest ingredients, so it’s more of a home-alchemy ingredient than something to haul through dungeons. Restore Stamina, Fortify Block and Fortify Light Armor suit warriors and light-armoured fighters.
