## Gathering

Gathering is an activity that allows you to gather materials necessary for use in professions by using gathering tools. The quality of collectable materials and the amount of labor consumed varies based on your skill level. The materials gathered differ depending on the gathering method.

### Gathering Locations

Throughout the world, there are gathering spots where you can collect materials needed for crafting by consuming labor points. Gathering nodes are each marked with a specific icon. When you press the icon, you can view the gathering spot’s name, what kind of items can be collected there, and the probability of gathering success. In addition, gathering areas have levels that indicate the level of materials that can be obtained from them.

The four types of gathering are as follows.

• You can collect materials needed for crafting
• Shares level and experience with the crafting profession
• You can gather fish needed for cooking
• Shares level and experience with the cooking profession
• You can collect ores needed for blacksmithing
• Shares level and experience with the blacksmithing profession
• You can collect relics to restore with archaeology
• Shares level and experience with the archaeology profession
• Required Tool: Shovel

### Gathering Minigames

There are different minigames for each gathering skill that start up when you begin gathering. Success in the minigame allows faster collection of resources, but is not necessary for gathering to be completed.

## Crafting Professions

Professions are skills used to produce new items using materials collected by gathering. Crafting items consumes labor points and gold, and takes some time to complete. If a character moves or is attacked during crafting, the crafting will be canceled. Level and experience are shared between corresponding professions and gathering skills. When a skill level increases, the list of items that can be collected or crafted grows.

 Cooking
 Blacksmithing
 Archaeology | Excavation
