Game Help: General Gathering
For those who find joy in soil, stone, and stem, every Mystavarian
may specialise in one gathering skill. Gathering skills let you
collect and harvest the raw resources used across a wide range of
crafting disciplines — herbs for potions, crops for cloth, ore chipped
from the bones of the earth. Gathering is how it all begins.
Those who wish to go further can walk the Path of the Farmer,
trading one major skill for two additional gathering skills and one
additional crafting skill. See HELP FARMER for details.
Available Gathering Skills:
Farming
Grow crops like cotton, flax, and wheat, essential for tailoring,
cooking, and trade. Pairs well with Tailoring. See: HELP FARMING
Herbology
Find, identify, safely harvest, and prepare plants, fungi, and mystical
flora, from healing herbs to deadly poisons. Pairs well with Alchemy.
See: HELP HERBOLOGY
Mineralogy
Identify and mine veins of ore, extract gems, and haul stone, then refine
and polish it for further use. Pairs well with Armour Smithing, Weapon
Smithing, and Lapidary. See: HELP MINERALOGY
General Gathering
General Gathering is the jack-of-all-gatherings, master of convenience.
Rather than honing in on one narrow vein of expertise, it teaches how to
harvest basic commodities and materials from all across the world. Its
abilities let you become proficient in chopping wood, plucking feathers,
tanning leather, paper-making, and more.
General Gathering pairs especially well with the Artisanry, General
Crafting, and Woodworking crafting skills, since it supplies the varied,
everyday materials those crafts draw on rather than one specialised resource.
It's a strong choice for characters who want broad self-sufficiency without
committing to a single narrow gathering focus.
