# Foraging **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](/gameplay/pets.md) 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](/gameplay/locations/marketplace.md) 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](/gameplay/items/enhancement-stones.md), for hatching [Pets](/gameplay/pets.md), and for [leveling Heroes](/gameplay/heroes/leveling.md). ### Foraging Basics #### Duration per Attempt **20 seconds** per Hero per Attempt #### Stamina Required per Attempt 7 Stamina (5 with the **Foraging profession gene**) #### Required Hero Range 1-6 Heroes #### Minimum XP Reward 15 XP per Quest attempt ### **Skill 10 Foraging Quests** Heroes with existing Foraging skill can perform more difficult quests for a chance at increased rewards. Skill 10 Foraging Quests introduce the following differences from Skill 0 Quests: * Heroes must meet a minimum **Foraging skill** requirement of 10 to participate * The base Hero **Experience Point (XP)** gain per quest attempt is raised to +25 XP * Heroes receive an **additional chance at a bonus roll for item rewards** * The chance of **Foraging skill increases** relative to the quest level is reduced by half ### **Pet Bonuses** Heroes that are bonded with a fed Pet that has the **Foraging Gathering Profession Bonus** will receive an additional bonus to their quest reward rolls. Possible Pet Foraging bonuses are drawn from the following:
