Illnesses are a persistent mechanic that add a level of unpredictability and challenge to the Wolvden experience! While playing casually, your wolves will be able to get sick and injured, and you will be able to assist them with the help of a Herbalist. Illnesses can catch you off-guard if you're not prepared to address them as they pop up, so understanding illnesses and herbalism can be very important to ensuring your pack's longevity.



Illnesses and herbalism are unlocked on your 4th rollover with a new unique quest, Sickness and Health. Upon rolling over, Tala will inform you that your lead wolf has fallen ill and will walk you through assigning a Herbalist and treating the illness. New players have a brief illness immunity: until you have completed the Sickness and Health quest and rolled over five times, your wolves will be incapable of developing illnesses and you will be unable to assign wolves the Herbalist and Forager roles.
