Spell details for Wild Oats  

This is one of those spells you will leave on for a long time. VIT down on mobs is a dream. When Soloing, I usually sub WHM and start off with Dia > Wild Oats > Bludgeon on East Altepa Dhamels. You will notice that your Bludgeons go up in damage compared to not having any debuffs on the mob. Great Spell, went 1/8 on Tiny Mandys in East Sarutabaruta.

Any mandragora at any level will use this spell. I am not 100% sure on the mandies in the past, but I will check on that and edit this when that time comes. Good luck spell hunting.

Fought several Mandragora and Tiny Mandragora trying to get this with no luck.

Went to Tahrongi Canyon and killed Pugman w/e got it on the second one. Same with Cacoon.

If you equip both Sprout Smack and Wild Oats (Plantoids - Physical, both of them) you get the Job Trait "Beast Killer" which increases your damage against beast-types, and causes them to sometimes be intimidated by you.
