Soul Land: Awakening World – All 8 Rare Herb Locations in Nuoding City

Where to find every rare herb in Nuoding City and how to turn them into character upgrade materials.

Where to find every rare herb in Nuoding City and how to turn them into character upgrade materials.

Rare herbs in Nuoding City are gathering materials used to strengthen and upgrade your characters in Soul Land: Awakening World. There are eight of them spread across the city and its surrounding early-region map, and collecting them early gives you a head start on progression resources before you move on to later areas.

Quick answer: Nuoding City holds eight rare herbs. Sweep the city core and the connected Blue Silver Plain stretch, picking up each herb node along the route, then use the herbs as upgrade materials for character progression.

What the rare herbs are used for

The rare herbs are progression-related materials. They feed into character upgrades, so they are worth grabbing as soon as you reach Nuoding City rather than backtracking later. Because they tie directly into building up your roster, treat them as priority pickups during your first full pass through the region.

Note: Nuoding City may also appear under the name Notting City in some versions of the in-game map, since Chinese-version names do not always match the global client. The location and the herbs are the same regardless of which spelling you see.


How to collect all 8 rare herbs efficiently

The herbs are scattered across the Nuoding City core and the Blue Silver Plain stretch that connects to it. Rather than hunting them one at a time, run a single loop and clear nodes as you pass them.

Unlock the local waypoints first. Open the teleport points in and around Nuoding City so you can fast-travel between segments of the map instead of walking the whole route on foot.

Work through the city core. Follow the main city roads and check the resource icons along bends and dead-end paths, where herb nodes tend to sit.
Sweep the connected Blue Silver Plain area. Continue out from the city into the early-region plain and pick up the remaining herbs along the open route.
Do a second pass for anything blocked. If a node is gated behind story progress or a movement unlock, leave it and return once that gate opens rather than forcing it.

How to confirm you collected all 8

Each herb you pick up is added to your inventory as an upgrade material. To verify a clean sweep, check your map for remaining resource icons in the Nuoding City and Blue Silver Plain area. When no herb nodes remain on the explored map, you have all eight.

If you come up short, the most common reasons are simple. A node may still be sitting in a part of the map you have not explored yet, or it may be behind a story or movement gate that has not opened. Open the remaining map segments and clear any pending story step, then return for the missing herb.


Collection tips for Nuoding City

TaskWhat to do
Set anchorsUnlock waypoints before farming so you can teleport between herb clusters.
Check the edgesLook along road bends, dead-ends, and the plain’s open paths for resource icons.
Combine tripsGrab nearby chests and other collectibles on the same loop so the route isn’t wasted.
Don’t force gatesSkip blocked nodes and return after the next story or movement unlock.

Because the herbs are early-region pickups, you can usually clear them well before they become a progression bottleneck. Run the loop once on arrival, leave anything gated for a quick return trip, and you’ll have all eight ready to spend on character upgrades.
