Foraging

Foraging is a gathering skill centred on collecting wild plants, berries, roots, mushrooms and other edible growth from the land. It is one of the first skills available and needs no tools or inputs to begin — you simply choose a plant to gather and repeat the action to build up a supply of raw food and useful materials.

Foraged goods feed directly into other skills. Berries, roots, grains and gourds are staple ingredients for Cooking and Alchemy, while Plains Fiber is the backbone of early Crafting. Several actions also have a chance to yield crop seeds and Wild Seeds as bonus drops.

How to progress

Each successful gather grants Foraging experience (XP) and raises your Foraging level. Higher levels unlock new plants that give more XP and more valuable produce but take longer to harvest. Progress the skill by keeping the highest-level action you can perform running continuously.

Many advanced plants only grow in specific Biomes. You must be in the required biome (reached through Expeditions) before that action becomes available. Actions with no biome listed can be foraged anywhere.

Actions

Action Level Interval (s) Biome Outputs XP
Gather Crimson Berries 1 3.0 Crimson Berry; Wild Seeds (10%); Gourd Seed (8%) 5
Collect Plains Fiber 5 3.5 Plains Fiber ×2 8
Pull Wild Onions 10 3.7 Wild Onion; Wild Seeds (10%); Sunroot Seed (6%) 10
Dig Earthroot 15 4.0 Earthroot; Wild Seeds (15%) 14
Pick Azure Berries 25 4.5 Azure Berry 22
Pick Marsh Beans 30 5.0 Murkwater Swamp Marsh Bean; Marshmelon Seed (6%) 26
Raid Wild Hive 40 6.0 Wild Honey 38
Dig Cave Tubers 45 6.2 Cavern Depths Cave Tuber 42
Pick Ember Peppers 52 6.8 Scorched Badlands Ember Pepper; Flamegrain Seed (6%) 52
Harvest Sunfruit 55 7.0 Sunfruit 55
Harvest Dew Melons 62 7.6 Coral Shallows Dew Melon; Cloudbean Seed (5%) 65
Cut Glowcaps 70 8.5 Cavern Depths Glowcap 80
Cut Frost Cabbage 74 9.0 Frozen Wastes Frost Cabbage; Frostgourd Seed (5%) 88
Reap Sky Grain 86 11.0 Skyreach Plateau Sky Grain; Wild Seeds ×2 (15%); Skyfruit Seed (5%) 125
Pluck Primal Bloom 90 12.0 Sundered Vale Primal Bloom; Wild Seeds ×3 (25%); Primal Squash Seed (5%) 140

Percentages in the Outputs column show the chance of a bonus drop; items without a percentage are produced every time. Intervals are base times before any speed bonuses.
