Crafting

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.

Trainers

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.
