2. Accessing the Gathering Areas
To be able to gather recources, you first need to learn to gather them. The trainers that train you the 6 different kinds of gathering are located in 3 areas. These 3 areas are.
Lacheish Plains, Poitain and Purple Lotus Swamp.

These 3 areas are located outside Tortage, so you have to finish Tortage before you are able to train the gathering skills. I believe that the training is only available when you are level 20 or higher.

I’ll give a short walkthrough how to get from each Hub to the nearest Gathering area. Depending on the race you choose, you will start at a different Hub when you finish Tortage. The walkthrough includes some coordinates, you can find these coordinates when you open your map (located near the minimap or press M). The coordinates show below the map, the coordinates shown are the coordinates of the location of your mouse pointer on the map.

Conarch Village - Getting to Lacheish Plains
Your starting location is Conarch Village. The nearest gathering area is Lacheish Plains, to get there we first need to travel to Conall's Valley. Conarch Village is quite big, when you open your map, the entrance to Conall's Valley is located at" 448:428. Arrived at the location you see a wooden wall with wooden door, pressing the wooden door will give you access to Conan’s Valley.

Arrived in Conall's Valley, our next step is to travel to the Fields of the Dead. The entrance to this area is to the far east of the map. Keep following the road east, eventually you will need to go down a bit south as well, the exact entrance is located at coordinate: 1755:660. Pressing on the door will give you access to the Field of the Dead.

Arrived in the Fields of the Dead, our next step is to travel to Lacheish Plains. The entrance to this area is very close. Exact location: 115:225. It’s about 100-200 meter south, you should see it on your minimap. Walk to the NPC, and talk. Talking to this NPC gives you 3 options, the first 2 options are of importance. Option 1: Bring me to my guild city. If your guild has built a city, this will transport you immediately to the location your city is build, even if it is not in Lacheish Plains but for example in Purple Lotus Swamp.

One of the NPC’s has a tag below his name called: Wild Lands of Zelata. Talk to this NPC, follow the dialogue, and you will be transported to the Wild Lands of Zelata.

When you arrive in the Wild Lands of Zelata, Poitain is close. Open your map, follow the road that leads straight north. Our destination is the northwest corner of the map. When you arrive in the northwest corner, there should be 2 NPC’s near a ravine. The exact location is: (to be updated). One of the NPC’s has a tag below his name: Poitain City Guide.

3. Getting Started

Okay, you arrived in 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 I’ll paste the location to make it clear.

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 chapters I will explain what resources belong to each tier. Note: If you train in Poitain, you can use the gathering skills all over Hyboria, it is not limited to Potain.

So, now 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 chapter I 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.

5. Tier 1 Gathering Resources (level 20+)

• Mining: Copper Gathered from: Copper Node
• Prospecting: Silver Gathered from: Silver Node
• Skinning: Rough Leather Gathered from: Animals (level 20+)
• Stonecutting: Sandstone Gathered from: Sandstone Node
• Weaving: Cotton Gathered from: Cotton Shrubberies
• Woodcutting: Ash Gathered from: Ash Tree

These node’s or tree’s are highlighted when you hover your mouse above them. Node’s are quite big, and usually found near hills, on a slope, or on a hill. Tree’s and Cotton Shrubberies are usually found in the open areas, they are easily recognized because they have an animation: Trees drop leaves and Shrubberies sparkle.

These gathering objects have a durability of 100%. Each time you harvest one the durability will drop by 10%. So if you would find for example a Copper node with 100% durability, you would be able to harvest 10 copper from it.

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.

Resources have fixed locations, so you can make a map with waypoints to save the location of the resources.

8.Gathering the rare’s

When you finish the first quests the trainers give you, you will get a follow up quest that requires you to get one rare resource. Each Tier recourse holds its own rare resource. Note: By Rare, i mean a 1% drop chance, if not lower for some resources.
If you get to harvest a rare, the recource object will loose 20% durability instead of the normal 10% durability.

9. Current issues, bugs and other things

Current issues and bugs
- (bug)Resources do not seem to stack all the time.
- (bug)Resources do sometimes appear on the minimap. Though not all the time.
- (issue)The weaver and skinner trainers in Purple Lotus Swamp drop through the floor/walkway. They are below the buildings.
- (issue)Some abnormal low droprates count for the skinner resources, intended or not?
- (issue)The use of flax bushes is unkown, when you harvest them you dont actually receive something.

10. Waypoint Sharing

(this is a tricky thing, if you have problem do not hesistate to contact me)

You can save all your waypoints in an XML File and share them with other, I will post some XML files of each gathering area here. Save the XML Files into account folder, and then the folder xalled waypoints. The location of that folder depends on the OS your system has.
For Vista it's usually: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local
For XP it's usually: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\

So for example you would save it into(OS = XP): C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Local Settings\Application Data\Funcom\Conan\Prefs\myaccount\Waypoints
