'''Softwort''', formerly known as ''rose-wort'', is an intermediate healing item in the series. It combines the effects of a [[moonwort bulb]] and [[strong medicine]], curing the effects of [[paralysis]] and restoring around 60 {{HP}} to a single party member, being consumed upon use. In games where [[Alchemy]] is a mechanic, it can be created by mixing strong medicine and a moonwort bulb together. It can also be purchased from item shops and dropped by monsters in some games, as well.

Known as '''Rose-wort''' in this game, it can restore 60~80 HP to a single ally and cures the effects of paralysis, being consumed upon use. One can be found in a pot in the [[Herb Grotto]], although most will be made with the [[Alchemy Pot]]. Rose-wort can be sold for 148 gold each for the first 5 sold, then reduces to 104 gold for the 6th to 10th sold, then drops even further to 45 gold from the 11th sold onward.

It can be created two different ways in the Alchemy Pot and can also be used to create an even stronger restorative item:

==={{DQ10}}===
Softwort's efficacy has reduced slightly in this game, only restoring 30 HP and curing paralysis for a single party member. In the game's offline mode, it can be created through Alchemy with the familiar recipe of [[strong medicine]] and a [[moonwort bulb]]. It can also be picked up from sparkly spots and can be dropped by [[Rhinoceraxe]]s.
* In the {{Offline}} version, the recipe is changed to mixing two moonwort bulbs together.

[[Image:Softwort xi icon.png|right|Icon in XI]]
Softwort once again restores 60 HP in this game, along with curing paralysis, and is consumed upon use. It can no longer be created, but it can be purchased from nearly every [[item shop]] and roving emporium starting from [[Nautica]] in the first act onward for 95 gold each and it can be sold for 47 gold. Bundles of softwort can be found in [[Gallopolis]], [[Lonalulu]], and [[Phnom Nonh]]. It can also be dropped by [[Man o' war]]s and their vicious counterparts.

Softwort can be used in a single [[List of fun-size forge recipe book locations in Dragon Quest XI|recipe]] for the [[Fun-Size Forge]]:
*Recipe: [[Murky mittens]] = [[Magic beast hide]] x2 + [[Evencloth]] x3 + [[Sunny citrine]] + [[Night stick]] x3 + Softwort

==={{DQStars}}===
Softwort cures paralysis and restores around 30 HP to a single party member, being consumed upon use. It can be created by mixing two [[medicinal herb]]s and two [[moonwort bulb]]s together at the item workshop. Occasionally, it can be received as a reward for completing certain quests.

==Trivia==
* The term ''[[Wikipedia:List of wort plants|wort]]'' is a word from Middle English which simply means "plant". In botany, it is used in combination with other words to refer to various unrelated plants, particularly those formerly used to cure diseases.
