Foraging

Search for resources and treasures, overgrown by plants, buried in the sand, or anywhere else in the diverse environment of Arenum.

The Foraging skill allows you to gather things from nature and urban areas. Forests, hills, and plains are a good source to find plants and seeds that can be used for the Cooking and future Farming skills while towns and cities contain materials used in the Crafting and Smithing skills. With higher Foraging levels, you'll have access to more items, better foraging tools, and special skilling equipment that can boost your foraging efficiency. You can also receive Foraging Chests as a rare drop from training this skill.

Activities

The following activities can be done indefinitely without needing materials. Some have equipment requirements or other requirements that need to be satisfied in order to start the activity.

For activities involving two skills, the player is only eligible to earn chests in skills that have actual level requirements.

So, if the activity has a Foraging level requirement, it will be eligible to drop Foraging Chests.

When performing an activity for a skill, only the primary skill is factored in for the player's equipment bonuses, the "2^nd Skill" will also be affected by the equipment attributes based toward the "1^st Skill" (IE: +1 Exp will apply to the "2^nd Skill" as well).

The following activities are eligible to drop Foraging Chests.
