Where is Basil in New World?
You can find Basil by harvesting Herbs only in Everfall or Brightwood currently. When you harvest any herbs in those regions, you have a good chance to also get Basil along with your Hyssop. Basil is also in the game files as available in Brimstone Sands… however, this zone is not released yet in New World as of 10/2/2021. Brightwood also only has a few spawn points for herbs and therefore it is not recommended to look for herbs or basil there.
