Foraging
Information about Foraging Quests
Foraging Quests can be performed by up to six Heroes at a time in each realm. These quests yield Plants and other rare items.
Barren our valley may appear; however, you will find many surprises within the nooks and crannies of the white expanse.
Foraging Quests are begun in the Professions zone by speaking to the Forager or Forester, depending on the realm. Any Hero can attempt Foraging Quests, but Heroes with the Foraging profession gene will use their Stamina more efficiently and have increased chances of item rewards. Successfully completing a Foraging Quest will grant each Hero a small amount of XP, and a chance toward increasing their Foraging skill, which, over time, will allow them to undertake more difficult quests. Heroes may also bring a Pet companion with them to receive additional bonuses.
These quests have a chance to reward Heroes with Plants, Gaia's Tears, Runes, and Grey Pet Eggs. All plants may be sold to the Vendor in the Marketplace for Gold or swapped at the Trader for other tokens or items. Some items are also used as reagents in crafting Potions and Enhancement Stones, for hatching Pets, and for leveling Heroes.
