Pipes
Pipes are special items in For The King and For The King II that characters can equip to enhance an herb's regular effects.
Description
Although pipes have the same basic function of enhancing the effect of herbs in both For The King and For The King II, they work very differently in each game. See here for details of how they work in each game.
Pipes in For The King
In For The King, pipes are the same for every character, and apply the same bonuses. Characters start with pipe level 0 and can be upgraded to a maximum level of 3. Upgrading your pipe will increase its potency, and therefore the potency of the effects the pipe applies to the herbs that character uses. The effects vary for each type of herb and can be found [here]. Upgrades can be purchases in towns and sometimes through encounters with traveling merchants. The cost increases significantly each tier of upgrade. The Pipe Smith can also upgrade your pipe at a discounted price.
