Crafting with Plants, Magical Horses, and a Kingdom of Clouds?.

Star Stable's last June update gave Farah a nice little shop and a new thing to keep us busy - Crafting!
Now we can forage for plants to craft materials for clothing and tack and make stuff to sell to people around Jorvik.
Here's how it works (Although you probably know by now)-

First, go to Farah's shop and go to the task board. Checkmark every one listed and try to remember what each wants. You'll have 3 deliveries per day. You can check the bench to see what ingredients you need, or just go forage and come back with a lot of ingredients. You search around Silverglade County, Harvest Counties, and South Hoof for the ingredients: plants. They have yellowish sparkles so they're easy to see. There was supposedly some way to tell by looking at your minimap (not the big map) when you're close but that doesn't seem to work. July 1 Update: The minimap icon works correctly now. You'll see a flower shape on your minimap if you're near a harvestable plant. Below I have a map and a list of what you'll likely find where, as the map isn't very easy to tell where things are precisely. Once you see one, click on it and it will go.in your inventory. These will always stay in your inventory even if you log out, so don't be afraid to grab every plant you see! 
You bring the ingredients to Farah's and craft them into things. Things like Candles and Herbal Tea are to deliver to NPCs. Things like cloth and ropes can be used to make tack and clothes. Ingredients can also be placed in delivery box in exchange for extra reputation. However there's a twist: If you put 10 Flax in the box and come back with more, you'll need 20, then 30, etc. So I'd recommend saving up your ingredients and donate 10 every day, as it resets back to 10 the next day.
Once you've craftec the object requested you deliver it to the NPC by going to where they are and finding the delivery box. You click it and give them the object. You'll earn reputation and Jorvik Shillings. 

Eventually you will unlock an owl pet, I'm guessing through reputation.

Here's the List of where you'll find the ingredients:
Bee Balm: Firgrove, Forgotten Fields, Silverglade, Jarlaheim. Not found at Valedale/ Hollow Woods/ Valedale Lake. Seems to be a rare plant to find. 
Chamomile: Found in Greendale, Hollow Woods and Firgrove. Rare to find.
Flax: Everwind Fields, the Fields near Starshine Ranch, South Hoof Peninsula, The Forgotten Fields, on Paddock Island, Near Seahorse Beach, and near Sunfield Farm. Not found in Valedale/Hollow Woods/ Valedale Lake. Common and easily found by just running around the sunny fields.
Jute: Found along water such as Valedale Lake, Silversong River, and the Ocean. Seems to be less common.
Rubia: Found in Mountainous areas such as Forgotten Fields, Greendale, Firgrove Mountain Pass, Red String Trail, The Observatory, and the Mountain where the Druid Paddock is. Rare to find.
Moss: Found growing by trees in my experience. Forgotten Fields, Near Sunfield Farm, Greendale, Hollow Woods, Valedale Lake, Firgrove.

Tip: The only things found in South Hoof are Flax, Jute, and Bee Balm.
Here's a list of NPCs who request the deliveries and where they are:
Conrad - Moorland
Mr. Cod - Moorland
Mrs. Holdsworth - Moorland
Jonas - Hightower
Hugh - South Hoof

Craftable Tack & Clothes:
3 Beanie Hats
3 Gloves
3 Bosal Hackamore Bridles.
3 Leg Wraps

The July 1st Update brought back the Cloud Kingdom and several Jorvik Wild Horses. 

The Cloud Kingdom is the same as last year. Only new thing is new rainbow tack & clothes. Last year's rainbow tack & clothes from the Rainbow Festival is now in the shop as well.

The Jorvik Wild Horses that are back are the Shire models (Orange-Purple, Pastel Rainbow, Golden, Brown-Green, Blue-Black, and White-Pink) and the Icelandic models (Blue, Black-Red, and Purple). They are here until July 15th. 

Lastly an update on my Soul Riding progress: I made it to the 9000 mark on today, July 1st. I should have the horse sometime in August, maybe September at the latest. I currently only have Dragon, Summer and Night left to train to the maximum. My logic has been Train horse to level 11 with normal races then do druid training with it.
