Hey Guys,

today ill teach you some Basics about Collecting Skills
and give you some General Tips about them.

First of all, if you have no idea where to learn your
first Collecting Skill or where to buy the tools,
you should check out my Guide through Cloud City,
it will help you find your way to the Housewife. ;-)

General Tip:
Always buy more than 1 Gathering tool,i recommend
around 5+ tools.


You need to Lvl your Gathering Skills by using them,
each Lvl it starts to count from 0 again.
Here is the Lvl Up Chart untill Lvl 5.

Lvl 1: 0-500
Lvl 2: 0-800
Lvl 3: 0-1200
Lvl 4: 0-1800

Lvl 5: 0-3200

General Tip:
If you click the material you wanna collect
it will start gathering on its own until
the gathering tools durability is down to 0.
Thats around 15-20 Minutes which you can go AFK
and do something else untill you need to
change the gathering tool.



Here a List of Materials till Lvl 5 (i will add some more later)

General Tip:
If your looking around on a map, why dont you use an Amulet
(bought from the grocer) to keep away annoying monsters?
You might need to walk around alot since materials spawn randomly
on the map.

General Tip:
Renown Point Quests sometimes require some materials,
around Lvl 10-20 its Lvl 2 material, from Lvl 30
it sometimes asks for Lvl 3 materials so lvl at least
one of those collecting skills, it will save alot
of time asking around for material to finish your
Renown Point Quest.


As soon as i collect more information, i will add
some more material locations but this basic guide
should especially help you find your materials
the first time and help you getting started with
your collecting skills.

If i made a mistake somewhere feel free to correct me. ^-^

Have fun Collecting!

Most likely the mines were depleted and hadn't respawned when i searched. what didn't occur to me was to change lines, usually the same mines will be on the other line.

Hey kath :-)
have you found the mine or was my information really missleading?
I was pretty sure that i found it there and that the ore also states
that location but it has been a while since i played...

Hi Kiyani,
it was alright, my bad. I guess on line 2 the maps were depleted so i changed to line 1 and bingo... found what i needed.
My dilemma now is where do i find Ore lvl 7. I've searched high and low but can't find it unless its passed Zig Pass to maps i can't go yet due to quests i haven't gotten yet.

Once more my compliment to your guides, they are very helpful and i was often able to help friends/guildies answering their questions concerning gathering skills and the locations of the mats since i bookmarked this little guide.
