You've Been Harvesting Skyrim's Giant Lichen Wrong
Players keep replaying Skyrim and notice tiny details. Mod updates and guides have changed many routines. This article explains the most efficient gathering method.
You've Been Harvesting Skyrim's Giant Lichen Wrong is a harvesting glitch. You grab one plant, but the game drops several units. Studies indicate this bug happens with certain object scaling.
Here is why the current method fails. Standard clicks waste time and stamina. Research shows holding interact triggers better yield. Just sprint, hold, and collect more.
Quick runs show that holding interaction boosts gathered materials.
Why does holding the button work?
Game code sometimes multiplies resources during extended input windows. This turns one tap into double drops.
Can this apply to other plants?
Yes, many harvest objects react the same way. Check patch notes for changes on specific flora.
