PostSubject: Gathering and You   Gathering and You Icon_minitimeFri Oct 17, 2008 2:22 pm

Gathering or harvesting is a important part of Age of Conan, this section of AOC Stratics is here to make your life easier.

In Age of Conan there are 6 Gathering skills. You can take all 6 gathering skills.


Mining: This profession will allow you to gather resources such as copper, tin, iron and more. You can also find rare ones like aurichalcum and blue iron.

Prospecting: This profession will allow you to gather resources such as silver, electrum, gold and more. You can also find rare ones like illustrium and platinum.

Skinning: This profession will allow you to gather resources such as different types of leather, some of which are rare ones like the grained leather and the whorled leather.

Stonecutting: This profession will allow you to gather resources such as sandstone, granite, basalt and more. You can also find rare ones like adamant and obsidian.

Weaving: This profession will allow you to gather resources such as cotton, wool, flax and more. You can also find rare ones like bloodflax and cottonwisp.

Woodcutting: This profession will allow you to gather resources such as ash, yew, oak and more. You can also find rare ones like soulwood and amberwood.

What you gather are resources, and this resources are used to make things that range from weapons and armor, to potions, to entire cities, what you do with these resourses is covered on our Crafting section.

There are several kinds of resources, as you would assume they come from 3 kinds of entities; animals, minerals and plants.

Resource gathering in Age of Conan is initially introduced through quests, this makes it easier for players to understand why, what and how they go about and harvest. This also makes players become professionals on gathering resources, and lays a path of progression. Example, you are first an apprentice, and after gathering a certain number of resources you advance to journeyman.

Where to get resources and quests
To get to any of this harvesting quests you'll need to complete the initial 20 levels in Tortage and be directed to your race city, from there you travel to the nearest resource area, there is one for each race:

Follow this road, all the way down until you reach a small house with a few NPC's in front of it. The exact location is: 1095:396.

Getting Started

You arrive one of the three gathering areas, each gathering area has a small town where all the gathering trainers are located. If you open your map you should see where it is, but here are the locations.

Lacheish Plains: Brandoc Village. Location: 1200:675
Poitain: Caenna Village. Location: 1277:1491
Purple Lotus Swamp: Nakaset Village. Location: 1125:1150

Each town has all the 6 trainers to train you the gathering skills. There location should be highlighted on your map with orange exclamation marks, if not, they are not hard to find. These trainers will be able to train you everything you need for the gathering skills. But there are some level boundaries.
The gathering skill is split up into 3 tiers.


Tier 1 Recources are available at level 20.
Tier 2 Recources are available at level 50.
Tier 3 Recources are available at level 70.

In the next sections we will explain what resources belong to each tier.

Note: If you train in Poitain as an example, you can use the gathering skills all over Hyboria, it is not limited to Potain.

Now that you have picked up all the gathering skills, it's time to start gathering! Each trainer should have given you a quest to gather 20 of each tier 1 recourse. So it's time to start exploring. In the next section we will explain what the Tier 1 Gathering Resources are and how you gather them.

NOTE: Resources are found in all areas of the game. They are not limited to one of the three Gathering areas. Both Normal and Epic areas have resources.

The durability on the gathering objects will slowly replenish itself, so a copper node that is harvested to 0%, will slowly gain durability so it is to be harvested again.
