Gathering is the process by which a player can collect crafting materials from resource nodes. There are 4 gathering professions: Butchering, Herbalism, Logging, and Mining.
5 of any gathered material can be refined into crafting materials by using the appropriate profession's Workbench. All gathering professions use the Crafting system to refine materials.

Process[edit]

Progress bar for Herbalism. The item has not been identified yet.
A Fragrant Root has been identified.

The process of gathering can be outlined as follows:

Arrow.pngTo locate a gatherable resource, players must out for distinguishable features of the node and a change in the cursor to a harvesting tool when hovering over the node.
Arrow.pngUpon interacting with the node, a progress bar will appear above the skill menu. At first, the progress bar will show a generic icon and the name of the resource the player is gathering from.
Arrow.pngThere is a chance of identifying the item. Once an item is identified, the icon and name will change to the respective icon and name of the specific item that has been found.
Arrow.pngIf the progres bar finishes and no item was identified, no item will be gathered. The gathering process can fail after successful identifiaction, and no item will be gathered.
Arrow.pngAfter an item has been identified and the progress bar finishes without failing, the item will drop from the resource node ready to be collected.
Arrow.pngThis process repeats until no more gathering attempts can occur at a resource, at which point the resource disappears and no more can be collected from that spot for a while.

All dropped gathering materials are client-side, meaning other players cannot see or interact with them. If the player stops gathering by walking away from the gathering node, the node will break and no more gathering attempts can be made.

Bonuses[edit]

Gathering bonuses can be achieved in the following ways:

Arrow.pngHigher mastery level unlocks higher-tier resource nodes and increases gathering attempts.
Arrow.pngHigher efficiency increases the chance of finding rarer resource and reduces the chance of gathering failure.

Rewards[edit]

Upon depleting a resource node, the player is rewarded with increased Experience and Efficiency for the corresponding profession. A gathering profession's efficiency will only increase if the player gathers resources whose tier is greater than or equal to the profession's Mastery Level.

Experience[edit]

Main Article: Experience

The experience gained upon depleting a resource depends on the Quality of the harvested items.
Higher-quality harvested items yield substantially more experience.

Resource Nodes[edit]

Each gathering profession can collect materials from three tiers of resource node. The below list contains links to the nodes of each gathering profession.

Arrow.pngButchery Nodes
Arrow.pngHerbalism Nodes
Arrow.pngLogging Nodes
