Foraging
Pick plants and berries in the wilderness
max lvl 99Raw ingredients
Training guide
Pick wild plants, berries and herbs straight off the land — the fastest skill to start, no tool required.
Getting started
Walk up to any berry bush or wildflower meadow on Tutorial Island and gather it. Foraging needs no tool, so you can train it from the moment you arrive.
| Levels | Activity | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 1–5 | Wildflower meadows & berry bushes | Scattered across the Tutorial Island meadows. ~8–10 XP per pick, instant respawns make this the quickest early XP in the game. |
| 3–12 | Mushroom patches, herb patches & cotton bushes | Mushroom patches open at L3; herb patches and cotton bushes at L5. Herbs feed Cooking, cotton feeds Weaving. |
| 12–18 | Feather nests & bramble thickets | Feather nests (L12) and bramble thickets (L15) are the mid-game grind. Feathers are used for arrow fletching. |
| 18–99 | Whispering cotton & glow-cap groves | Whispering cotton patches (L18) and glow-cap groves (L20, ~80 XP) carry you the rest of the way. |

Tips
- Foraging is the only gathering skill that needs no tool — train it first while you save for a pickaxe and axe.
- Herb leaves and mushrooms are Cooking ingredients; cotton is the base of every Weaving recipe.
