These need no inputs — just run the top action.

* {{Icon|foraging}} '''[[Foraging]]''' — climb the ladder to Sky Grain, Primal Bloom, and the level-90+ capstones (Vale Nectar, World-Tree Fruit). Watch for the '''Tailwinds''' weather-window gather.
* {{Icon|logging}} '''[[Logging]]''' — up through Cloudwood, Worldroot and Dawn Sequoia. Logging also feeds rope, hafts, and building materials, so bank extra.
* {{Icon|mining}} '''[[Mining]]''' — up through Moonstone, Starfall Vein and Heartstone. Mining supplies every [[Smithing]] tier, so you'll often mine ahead of your forge.
* {{Icon|fishing}} '''[[Fishing]]''' — up through Helicoprion and Leedsichthys. Fish feed [[Cooking]]; a '''Storm/Rain''' window opens the Stormfish gather.

Tip: once you have '''[[Companions#Hired hands (background gathering)|hired hands]]''' ([[Taming]] 25), park dinos on the gathers you're not actively training so all four skills tick at once.
