also having trouble finding black grass/black leaves for black dye and tough wood. I have 2 tough wood, unsure where it came from tho lol- and I'm not sure if maybe I just haven't gotten the recipes like i'm missing a book but I don't have a recipe for tough boards ( unless that's another item you need to find ) and I don't see any of these materials in the stores
