Open World Gathering

RavenQuest offers various resources scattered throughout its vast world. Here's how to get started:

1. Gatherable Resources:
   • ‣ Mining: Look for the pickaxe icons on stones
   • ‣ Woodcutting: look for axe icons on trees
   • ‣ Herbalism: look for sickle icons over herbs
   • ‣ Fishing: find hook icons in water bodies
   • ‣ Farming: available only on your land
   • ‣ Husbandry: available only on your land

Each profession has its own leveling system and unique resources. Advancing in these skills unlocks access to higher-tier resources, improved gathering efficiency and special perks through the profession's passive skill tree

1. Gathering Process:
   • Approach the resource and press ‣ to interact
   • A mini-game will appear; stop the meter in the green section to speed up gathering
   • Higher gathering profession levels can use passive skills to speed up gathering

💡 Pro Tip: The higher your gathering skill, the more likely you are to obtain rare or high-quality materials!

Gathering tips

• ‣ Woodcutting in the open world can be tiresome and not give enough ‣ Experience. Plant trees on your land instead for higher ‣Experience and raw material gains
• ‣ Dense logs cannot be planted, they are only acquired if your tree has been pruned and watered enough
• ‣ Fishing can be done from your ship or from land, but ship fishing areas will not allow you to fish from land and vice-versa
• ‣ Fish can be sold for ‣ Silver to the ‣ Fishbroker Munk or in the Market. Alternatively, you can slice them for raw materials used for ‣ Cooking and ‣ Alchemy
• ‣ Mining is perhaps the most rewarding profession, so the best mining spots are often crowded. Try different areas to avoid other players who may get to the nodes first
• ‣ Mines have different levels according to which floor you’re in. If the mobs are stronger there, you have higher chances of finding more ore or higher level ore
• ‣ Herbs can be grown on your land, but some of them can only be found hidden in the open world </aside>

Farm Gathering Content

Farm content is managed through your Estate or Community Farm:

1. Access your farm (Community Farm is unlocked early in the game)
2. Toggle ‣House Mode (icon near the mini-map)
3. Select crops, animals, or trees to plant
4. Place them in available spots on your land
5. Wait for them to grow, then harvest by pressing ‣ and selecting the gather option

💡 Pro tip: different crops and animals have varying growth times. Plan according to your playtime!
