Where to Find
Grocer Vendors: Purchase from grocery shops in towns across Pywel. Oats are stocked by grocers in most major settlements.
Farming: Oats can be grown at the Greymane Camp farm. Their cold resistance makes them a hardy crop choice.
Horse Feed
Oats double as feed for your horse. Feeding Oats to a horse helps maintain its stamina and can be used to build trust with a newly tamed mount. Keep a few Oats in your inventory for long rides across the continent where rest stops are scarce.
Cooking Uses
Oats function as a standard grain ingredient in cooking recipes. They can be used in porridges and toasted grain dishes for Health restoration. Their nutritional profile is similar to Barley and Lentils, providing a reliable base for recovery items.
Tips
Oats pull double duty as both a cooking ingredient and horse feed. Stock extra so you never have to choose between feeding your mount and cooking dinner.
The raw +30 Health effect is identical to Barley and Lentils, so eat whichever grain you have the most of in a pinch.
