Harvesting Basics
Through-out Telon there are natural resources available to be used in crafting useful items. Copper ore to be mined, smelted and forged, trees to be felled, chopped and quartered for fuel, and precious stones to be freed from stone quarries. Players must collect certain raw materials to be used in crafting tasks - this is accomplished through harvesting.Harvesting Skills
There are 5 harvesting skills in Vanguard. As part of one of the early quests each player must select 2 harvesting skills (a primary skill, and a secondary skill). Each skill is unique and allows your character to harvest materials valuable to a particular crafting trade.Each harvesting skill provides different materials, some harvesting skills are of course better suited to certain crafting skills.

Harvesting Tip : Group Harvesting
Players may assist group members in harvesting a resource even if they do not have that harvesting skill trained, but they must have the appropriate harvesting tool available. The primary harvester will receive a bonus of additional output when other group members are assisting them in harvesting a resource node.
Harvesting Gear
Players are equipped with several sets of gear. Each player will collect and equip unique gear for adventuring, crafting, diplomacy and even harvesting. When you begin harvesting an item, you will automatically switch to your harvesting gear.Like adventuring gear, harvesting gear has stats and sometimes bonuses. These bonuses & stats can improve your harvesting output, and the quality of the materials collected - so it pays to invest in the highest quality harvesting clothes and tools you can afford.
