Foraging is one of the three gathering profession. It is used for harvesting plants and wood in Telara. Foraging is especially useful for the Apotechary profession that requires a lot of plants, but is also useful for weaponcrafters and artificers, which use wood to craft weapons.
When you train as a Novice Forager three icons will appear in your Abilities book, (located bottom left of your screen). The icons are Track Plants, Track Wood and Foraging.
The abilities are straight forward and once activated will indicate on your mini map when a plant or piece of wood is nearby. Mouse over the small diamond on the mini map and the name of the plant/wood will display saving you time running to items you do not wish to gather. These trackers do not have timers so they don't require reactivating. Both trackers can be active at the same time. When a plant or stack of wood is located simply click on it when you are close enough and your character will gather it. Plants and wood have Foraging level requirements to gather them and if you are not a high enough level the text will be in red.
You will need to locate a workbench and be next to it in order to craft your wood and these can most often been found next to a Foraging trainer. No other equipment or supplies are needed.
Item-triggered quests give you some special recipes that make items needed by other crafts. For instance, Recipe: Pure Distillate makes Pure Distillate which is needed by Apothecarists so they can make Mighty Healing Philter.
Thanks to the new Weekly Harvesting Guild Quests, introduced with Patch 1.2, which all require raw resources, we advise that you keep all harvested resources in their raw form and only refine them further as you actually need them.
You can train to four levels of proficiency and each has certain prerequisites that you must meet before you are able to progress to the next rank of proficiency. Below is a list of locations with links to maps which pinpoint exactly where the Trainer can be found. Coordinates are in parentheses which you can find in game via the map (press m) mousing over the terrain with your cursor.

Depending on your Manufacturing profession you may need to keep everything, but if you are in a guild you are going to want to hold on to a few things to make supplies for guildmates.
Other than these you have no need to bank herbs and can sell/dispose of them.
We have no recipes in the database that require any of the three special crafted woods. This may mean simply that noone has discovered the recipe that uses them yet. Generally, though, it is a good idea to hold onto as much wood as you can make space for in your bank as several other crafts have need of it.
Plants:
