Resource Node

are various nodes, that when selected, will change your mouse pointer to the appropriate tool for the skill that is used to harvest it. Using an active resource node will allow you to harvest related Raw Materials from the node.

Each specific needs a specific Gathering skill and an associated tool equipped to be able to harvest the node. If an equipped tool has 0 durability, you cannot gather a node.

Each in a scene can be either active or inactive. You can only interact with a that is active.

Some resource nodes can be different tier levels. The XP you will gain from successfully harvesting a node, increases with higher tier nodes. Ore and Crystal Nodes have a visual display of different size nodes. The smaller nodes give low amounts of XP and the larger nodes give a higher amount of XP. In most scenes (but not all), the Tree, Ore and Cotton Plant nodes in a scene will be set to the tier level of the scene, and provide xp based on the scenes level.

When you harvest a node, you have an initial, one time harvesting collection chance of harvesting primary raw materials and a chance of secondary raw materials. After you have successfully harvested the initial, one time harvesting collection chance from a node, you are given Producer XP related to the tier of the node. Then a roll is made to see if you have a meticulous collection chance. This will continue until you fail a meticulous collection chance.

Each successful meticulous collection chance will give you additional primary raw materials, meticulous collection chance does not give any secondary raw materials. An Adventure And Producer Experience XP item will be shown in the resource nodes loot window. How many of these items you will receive, is determined by how many successful meticulous collection chances you have had. Do note the number of meticulous collection chances you have, displayed on the text above your character "Meticulous Collection x", is off by one. You will receive exactly one less Adventure And Producer Experience XP item than the number stated on the text above your character.

Raising the Meticulous Collection skill for each Gathering Skill, and equipping and consuming specific items, will give you an increased chance to have a Meticulous Collection when harvesting a node, which increases the amount of primary raw materials you will receive. This also awards Adventure and Producer XP. Various equipment items and potions can also raise specific gathering skill Meticulous Collection chance.

Raising the Swift Gathering skill for each Gathering Skill, will allow you to harvest nodes more quickly.

Raising the primary gathering skill level increases the chance for you to have a critical harvest chance, that will allow you to harvest nodes more quickly.
