 * Availability: Available in all versions of MapleStory.
 * Region: Mu Lung Garden.
 * Roads: Mu Lung Garden & Hidden Street.

Herb Town is located in the Mu Lung Gardens region, which can be reached via a flying crane from Mu Lung. Herb Town can also be reached by the Dolphin Taxi in Aquarium for 10,000 mesos. It features a Bellflower and ginseng theme, and carries on with the Asian themes of Mu Lung. The area is very swampy, and fog rolls over the water standing along the ground. The monsters outside the town follow with this theme, to an extent. The first monster one encounters walking towards Herb Town from Mu Lung is Mr. Alli, an alligator type monster that has a bird on top of it's head. Pirates attack the town from time to time, stealing the valuable Bellflower and Ginseng plants grown here. The people living here are the same Panda-like creatures that populate Mu Lung. Inside town, there are NPCs that sell weapons and armor, and give out quests, mostly related to stopping the pirate raids. Herb Town is the only town on Ossyria without an Area Boss.

Herb Garden
The Herb Gardens are where the people of Herb Town grow the valuable Ginsengs. They have to age for a very long time, so the area is split according to this aging process into the  10 year old, 50 year old, 60 year old, 80 year old, and finally 100 year old Herb Gardens. Not far away is the Bellflower valley, where the animated root creatures, the Bellflower Roots, live. They used to be peaceful creatures that would never consider attacking humans, but the Lord Pirate kidnapped the king of the Bellflowers, Wu Yang, and forced them to become monsters.

Red Nosed Pirate's Den
Accessed from a hidden portal not far from Herb Town, the pirates have docked their ship and are planning the raid on the defenseless town. Many pirate creatures appear, resorting to taking the Bellflower creatures hostage. They wield swords menacingly at both players and their captives. The maps begin to change to wooden decks and the trees become masts. Hordes of the pirate Captains and Kru storm the area, trying to rush out the invaders. The entrance to Herb Town Party Quest is nearby; it is for players ranging from level 55 to 100. This level range crosses with Orbis PQ, the Zakum PQ in El Nath, the Ludibrium Maze PQ, and Magatia PQ. The boss is the very difficult Lord Pirate. The party must be made up of at least 3 players, but can include up to 6. The PQ mostly involves successive stages of taking out wave after wave of progressively stronger monsters. The fifth stage mixes things up a bit, as monsters rush out of the ship through doors as reinforcements. They must be killed until one drops a key. These keys have to be dropped on to doors to progress forward. Finally, the PQ culminates in the boss battle. The reward for the PQ is, after 50 tries, a level 60 pirate hat with +1 to every stat. This hat can be upgraded by repeating the PQ, and after large amounts of successful attempts at the Party Quest, it will increase in power until finally ending with a required level of 90 and with +5 to all stats, serving as a miniature Zakum Helmet.
