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.
- A bobber will appear. Text will scroll on the screen. The text will tell you the appropriate action to take. e.g. reel, pull back, pull left, or pull right.
Warning: If you press the incorrect action 3 times your line snaps - you gain 0 experience, and it counts towards your Profession actions for the day.
- Players have an extremely small window of time to enter the correct text action. If you do not, it counts towards an incorrect action.
Note: A tacklebox and worms provide a slight buff to the amount of time you have to enter the action. If you follow the recommended tips below and practice some, you shouldn't need the bonuses items.
- If you successfully press the sequence of actions as they appear on the screen, you'll be rewarded! (Though sometimes with junk...)
Fishing Tips
Fishing can be a bit tricky to master at first and feel a bit complex. Once you understand the mechanics it's one of the easiest professions. Here are some tips:
- 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.
