Foraging

Foraging is one of four different gathering professions a player can have. Players can learn this profession by traveling to Alderra and speaking with Rose Decanhoff. After completing her quest, you'll need to purchase a harvest sickle from the Tools of the Trade store next to Rose. Equip it and your all set to begin foraging!

To forage:

The player must be on a tile with a forage NPC. These are red and in their look over line state that can be foraged.
While on the tile with the npc simply type /forage <npcname>.

Note: Forage 'nodes' or NPCs can only be used once every 60 second. You'll want to run around and find additional nodes while the others are refreshing.
Warning: When you forage, your stamina will completely deplete causing a cool down before you can move.

Foraging Tips

While one of the simpler minor professions, there are some tips to make your experience as easy as possible.

Foraging node locations change daily. Just because it was on a certain tile today does not mean it'll be on the same tile tomorrow. Look around!

Note: While the node locations change daily, the AMOUNT of nodes in a region do not change. e.g. Ebonfen will always have 5 nodes, you just have to locate their positions each day.

While any class can perform foraging - some classes come more recommended than others.
Necromancers are recommended as you can have two undead out with you and leech to restore your health. This helps reduce or eliminate any costs associated with gathering.
Rangers are recommended given you can spawn a pet that heals and takes the majority of the damage.
Monks are recommended if they have moon stance. Monks can 'drag' a monster off the forage tile and then enter moon stance to prevent dragging any monsters back onto the tile so you do not take damage. Monks can also meditate to restore health quickly.

-*Setup your macros F8 - F12 as: /cast, /reel, /pull, /pull left, /pull right.
-*Press F8 to cast your lure. Watch for the text on screen to tell you what action to press. Keep four fingers sequentially on F9-F12.
-Note: Find what feels natural. Pinky on F9 or pointer finger on F9.
-*With fingers in position, naturally press the corresponding action. Repeat until you've caught your fish.
-'''Warning:''' Do not try to type each action in. It is extremely unlikely you'll be able to type the action before it fails.
-It'll take quite a few casts to become comfortable and proficient. Once your muscle memory kicks in with where each action resides on your macros, it will be simple.
