⛏️ Gathering & Harvesting Resources

You reap what you sow, mine, pick, or pluck.

For those who find joy in soil, stone, and stem — every Mystavarian can specialise in one gathering skill. This allows for the collecting and harvesting of specific types of resources used across a wide variety of the crafting skills. Whether harvesting herbs for potions, planting fields for fabric, or chipping gemstones from the bones of the earth, gathering is how it all begins.

The skills listed below will be available at launch. Additional gathering skills may come in later phases.

Farming

Farmers keep the world fed, clothed, and occasionally buried under surplus potatoes. This skill lets you grow crops like cotton, flax, and wheat — essential for tailoring, cooking, and trade. Tend your fields, rotate your crops, and enjoy the simple life.
