Foraging Tools
How to Forage
Foraging requires a pair of 
Gloves and/or 
Shovel to be equipped in the Toolbag.
Tip: Bring both Gloves and Shovel when gathering! The ability to gather from a wild plant depends on the type of Foraging Tool equipped.
Additionally, a 
Spile may be equipped to increase certain item droprates from plants.
Hint: Spiles are used to increase the chance of specific Foraging drops A higher-level Spile does not have the collection bonuses of a lower-level Spile
To forage:
- Stand next to and click-and-hold a wild plant to start a charging animation with sound.
- Once the animation is at its peak, release the mouse button to gather the plant.
Foraging Locations & Re-spawn Timers
Overworld Dungeons
Wild plant nodes are available in all zones and cluster in set locations on the overworld.
Hint: Foraging nodes share spawns. If you are not satisfied with your selection of nodes, exit the area and come back to see fresh nodes.
Re-spawn timers vary; check for new nodes 3 hours (length of 1 in-game day) from last gathering.
Recommended Foraging routes:
- Virelda Outskirts
- Seabreeze Pass > Needlepoint Pass > Everdune Ruins (cave system)
Beacon Dungeons
- Gathering nodes are randomized per each dungeon floor
- If you leave the floor, the nodes are lost for that dungeon run
- New nodes spawn every run
