Gathering is the method of obtaining raw materials used for many Life skills.
Details
- Most gathering skills can be made more efficient by training the respective skill.
- Gathering requires a specific Gathering Tool to be equipped or the hands to be empty, based on the item being gathered.
- Same-type Weapons can be substituted for Gathering Tools. For example, any Sword can be used instead of a Gathering Knife to shear the sheep found near most towns.
- Gathering reduces an item's Durability much faster than Combat, so it is recommended that players only use Gathering Tools to save money on purchases and repairs.
- Gathering success rates are increased by Alban Heruin (Wednesday) and rainy weather.
- Dexterity does not influence gathering rates.
- Rain also increases the amount of materials that can be gathered at one location.
- All gathering objects have a limited number of resources that regenerate over time.
- Attempting to gather further than the limit will display a fail message and still consume the durability of the tool used to gather.
- Gathering efficiency can be increased by Upgrading gathering tools, although not all gathering tools can be upgraded.
- Upgrades can reduce the base gathering time, add a chance to obtain two materials in one drop, or increase the probability of receiving a specific material out of many.
- Note that increasing Combat stats on gathering tools, such as balance or critical, will not influence gathering.
- Gathering skills consume Stamina at a rate of 1 point per second.
- This means that reducing a tool's gathering time through upgrades will also reduce the Stamina required to gather a material.
- Stamina still regenerates while gathering is in progress, making stamina consumption less drastic.
- You must have at least 3 Stamina to execute any gathering skill, regardless of how much Stamina that skill will consume.
- All Life Skill Talents provides experience upon successful gathering.
