Template:Gathering
Gathering is one of the artisan classes in Ashes of Creation.[3][4]
- Gatherable resources are discovered by trial-and-error and by learning their visuals.[3]
- Gathering requires the creation and use of tools.[5][6]
- Gathering within a node's Zone of influence (ZOI) will contribute to its experience growth.[3]
- Certain low level gatherables will have a tiered progression into higher level crafting.[7]
Certain low level gatherables will have a tiered progression into higher level crafting. So for example you know if I'm gathering... leaves of the blue petal flower to craft a pigment that's going to be used in the development of a tunic that I can wear at level one, then I may need to collect those in order to craft the pigments to craft a greater pigment that might be present in the in the crafting of a higher level item. So it's going to be kind of a tiered progression so that materials have relevancy throughout the different levels of of crafting; and that's important from an economic stability standpoint. You need to have layered demand from a supply standpoint so that players who are interested in collecting and gathering those materials still are relevant when the later level items are crafted.[7] – Steven Sharif
