​

SKILL LEVEL

 

In order to find out what resources are available to you for extraction, look in the professions window by clicking on the "professions" button on the right side of your screen.

 

 

In the open window to the left you can see your current skill level, as well as the maximum skill.

 

 

Just below that there is a button which you can use to resign the profession. Be careful! If you resign a profession, you will be deprived of all experience and knowledge obtained.


On the right hand side of the profession menu you can see a table listing all resources that you can extract, as well as the quantity of resources you already acquired.

 

 

The color of the resource name depends on the probability of increasing your profession skill level:

Orange - very high probability of increasing your professional mastery;
Violet - high probability of increasing your professional mastery;
Blue - average probability of increasing your professional mastery;
Green - low probability of increasing your professional mastery;
Gray - minimal probability of increasing your professional mastery.

The maximum skill level depends on the character’s level:

 

​

EXTRACTION OF RESOURCES

 

The gathering process itself is very simple. First, you should open the hunt screen by clicking the bear icon in the top menu:

 

 

By clicking on a resource on the map, in the upper right corner of the hunt screen you will be able to see the name of the resource, its image, the skill level required for collection, and how easy it is to find it in the location.

 

 

If you decide to gather the plant, click on the gather button in the top left corner of the hunt screen:

 

 

Alternatively, you can double click on the plant. Then the process of gathering will start:

 

 

It might happen that you will get an error message "You do not have the necessary skill level!" – it means that it is not possible to collect that plant with your current skill level, you will need to increase it first by gathering other plants.

If you forgot to put your sickle on, you will get a message saying "You do not have the necessary tools!"

When the gathering process starts, a small yellow circle will appear, indicating the number of people attempting to gather the same plant.

 

 

Extraction of a flower does not always conclude successfully. If you were unsuccessful in extracting a plant, you will see the following message:

 

 

If you were successful, the plant will disappear from the hunt screen and you will get a notification in the chat:

 

 

Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can receive a Liciousberry or two additional plants:

 

 

If by gathering the plant you have managed to increase your skill level, you will also be notified in chat:

 

 

When gathering resources you should keep in mind that there are animals and monsters walking next to you. Chances are good that they will attack you and all you can do is trying to fight the attacker with the sickle. As a weapon, sickle is not very ineffective, therefore your chances of winning are not that good.

 

If you are not careful while collecting resources, you might not only get attacked by monsters, but also get a Splinter. You will then need to ask other players for help – if they own a First Aid Kit or a First Aid Kit, they will be able to help you.

 

The First Aid Kit can be obtained from a level 3 quest called "Drunk on Blood" (available from  Pymen the Monk or  Samuel the Cleric). You can also upgrade it to First Aid Kit by completing a level 5 quest "Folk Healer" (also from Pymen or Samuel).

 

Once a week you can also receive Healing Liqueur from  Herbier or  Foglio in exchange for Liciousberry (5pcs) or Master's Healing Liqueur in the reward shop during May Mess. It will allow you to remove the splinter by yourself. Unlike the liqueur you can get every week from the herbologist, the liqueur obtained during the May event doesn’t have a lifespan.

 

 

While gathering plants, you can receive elements of Herbologist’s Belongings collection:

 

 

When you use the Herbologist's Reward Statue, you will receive Sign of the Master (10 pcs), which can then be spent on various useful items in the Professional Shop in Guild of Artisans.

​

AUXILIARY TOOLS AND EFFECTS

 

Skill level

If you want to increase your skill level faster, you can use Master Herbologist Spirit Sphere – it will increase your skill level by 5 points (but no more than the maximum skill for your level). You can also use Advanced Herbologist Skill Scroll which will immediately increase the skill to the maximum possible level for your character.

 

 

There are ways to temporarily increase the professional skill – it’s even possible to increase it above the maximum for your level, allowing you to collect higher level plants. You can use for that one of the skill balms available for purchase in the Estate Shop, they will increase your herbologist skill for 2 hours.

 

 

Also collections (found in Treasure Hunters tab in the Collections) can help you temporarily increase the skill level of your gathering profession:

 

 

There are also certain items you can get once in the game, for example: Emerald Book, which you can receive as a reward for completing quest "Lost Emerald Book Pages" [7], and Book of Skill – a reward for 2000 influence in  Caves of Fear or  Shuar Forest.

 

 

Additionally, during Mirror Magic event, you have a chance to obtain Resource Gatherer Gloves – they will increase your herbologist skill by 5 units whenever you wear them. The gloves can be used together with resource gatherer skill effects. You can obtain temporary resource gloves during May Mess event.

 

 

If you decide to resign or change profession, but you would like to go back to being a herbologist at some point, you can use Saved Herbologist Skill to temporarily save your current skill level. The number of acquired plants in the profession tab will also be saved. Remember that the profession will be abandoned automatically after you use the scroll. You can check the level of your saved profession in Attributes tab in your backpack. It is possible to save more than one profession. When you decide to restore your saved level of herbologist profession, talk to  Herbier or  Foglio in the Guild of Artisans.

 

 

 

Success and triple procurement

 

There are several ways of increasing your chance of successful mining and the chance of triple collection.

 

After studying Artisans Legacy Code, you can choose one of three talents related to professions. Reducing Chance of breakdown talent will increase your chance of successful procurement.

 

 

Chance of Success during Procurement talent will increase your chance of triple procurement.

 

 

Enchanted Wooden Shield, which you can get as a rare prize in Mirror Magic event, will also help you collect resources without fail and increase your chance of receiving additional plants. Temporary Old Wooden Shield can be obtained during May Mess.

 

 

Temporary work tools, resource gloves and wooden shield are not the only profession related items you can purchase in May Mess reward shop. Potions which increase the likelihood of successful procurement can also be acquired there:

 

 

Potions of Success can also be purchased in the Estate Shop.

 

 

Elixirs which will increase your chance of successful gathering and receiving extra resources are also available for purchase in the Professional Shop in Guild of Artisans for Signs of the Master.

During Trading Journey you can obtain Skilful Master Elixir (no more than 20 of those potions can be purchased during a single event).

 

36

 

Your sickle can be improved with runes, which will increase your success rate and your chance to obtain Beef Beetle. Also bezels increasing success probability can be applied on your professional tool.

 

 

There are also symbols which can help your gathering profession. Atum-Forte Symbol of Mastery provides an additional 2% chance of tripling procurement of resources and can be applied to bracers or pauldrons. Atoum-Va Symbol of Confidence (applied to cuisses, boots, bracers or pauldrons) raises the chance to successfully gather a resource.

 

 

Additionally, every time one of your referrals obtains their first gathering profession, you will receive Great Encyclopaedia of the Skilled Earner (2 pcs), using which also increases the chance of success.

 

 

 

Other items and effects

 

If you feel that monsters attack you too often when you mine stones, you can use one of the rings to protect yourself from the attacks:

 

 

Invisibility also provides protection from monsters’ attacks. But you need to remember that if you receive a Splinter when you are invisible, other players will not be able to remove it for you. The only way to get rid of splinter then will be to use Healing Liqueur or Master's Healing Liqueur.

In the Magic Pot in Clan Citadel players can create Selfish Hex Amulet – be careful, if someone uses it on you, your chance of successful mining will be reduced and you will be getting a lot more splinters.

If you backpacks are not large enough to fit all the stones you collect, you can think about getting an artisan’s bag.

 

 

​

ACHIEVEMENTS

 

While gathering plants, you can receive various achievements.

 

You will receive an achievement when you collect one of the plants for the first time, and then an achievement when you collect 100, 250, 500 and 999 plants of that type.

 

 

Achievements for collecting rare plant – gambier – are awarded when you collect it once and then 10, 50 and 100 times.

 

 

You will also receive achievements for triple collection and for receiving Splinter.

 

 

Additionally, there are achievements for finding Tarariquon and Liciousberry.
