Tips and Tricks[]

Start off at Casa Madrugada and run down the railroad tracks towards Perdido. You can quit at the tunnel unless you are also looking for other herbs. There are several Butterfly Weed on this path. Once you reach the end, fast travel to Blackwater and sleep at the saloon for one full day (or just sleep in the home at Casa Madrugada if you've purchased it). This allows time for the plants to respawn.

Start the process over until you have reached the desired amount.
