How to Acquire

You need a Quern to make a black pepper.

Quality

• Black Pepper Quality is Average Dried Pepper Drupe and is softcapped by ${\sqrt[{2}]{Dexterity*Farming}}$.

• The Quern has no effect on quality.

Notes

• As a Spice uses 0.01 kg in recipes.
• As a powder, Black Pepper disappears instantly if dropped to the ground. You may want to avoid using keyboard shortcuts involving Control-key to avoid accidents, or hold the pepper in a Bucket to be safe.
• When grinding pepper there needs to be at least some free place* to receive the ground pepper (like a free inventory slot (character or other container), bucket, barrel, or a pile of ground pepper with some space left.) or the grinding will stop after trying. (... unlike some other crafting processes that take/remove the used ingredients before returning the crafted product.)
