[edit] Description
Harvesting Supply Vendors provide basic tools for the novice harvester, but more importantly sell the books that will explain how to progress in any harvesting skill.
They also provide general information about the Harvesting skill, and allow new harvesters to choose their two specializations.
[edit] Special Dialogue
[edit] "Please teach me more about harvesting."
Harvesting Supply Vendor says, "There are many things in the world that you can harvest. Wood, metal, stone, textile and animals to skin are available in various areas around Telon. On occasion, you will encounter an object which you must use your harvesting skills to demolish."
[edit] "Please tell me more about harvesting equipment."
Harvesting Supply Vendor says, "In order to harvest, you need the appropriate tools for each job. Better tools will help improve your harvesting performance and may be required for more difficult resources."
"Harvesting clothing will also improve your ability to harvest. You can find upgrades to your current gear from harvesting vendors such as myself or have a crafter make them for you."
"All of your harvesting clothing should be equipped and your harvesting tools should be in your harvesting belt."
[edit] "Please tell me more about harvesting skills"
Harvesting Supply Vendor says, "To specialize in a specific type of resource, you must train the skill for that resource. You can only train two skills in harvesting, but you can abandon and pick a new skill at any time."
"Harvesting skills allow you to harvest a specific resource for each tier. To unlock the next tier of resources, you must return to a harvesting trainer and train the skill for the next tier."
[edit] "I would like to know which resources crafters use."
Harvesting Supply Vendor says, "As you know, the purpose of harvesting is to provide crafters with the resources they need to make items. So which resource is used by each crafter you ask?"
"Artificers use Wood, Stone and Gems. Gems can be found on stone."
"Outfitters use Textile plants and Leather hides from animals."
"Blacksmiths use Metal."
[edit] "How do I combine parts into a whole resource?"
Harvesting Supply Vendor says, "When you're out in the wild harvesting resources you will often receive parts of a resource in addition to complete resources. Don't throw these away! You can combine a stack of these parts into a complete resource."
[Right-click on a stack of 20 or more parts to convert them into a complete resource.]
[edit] "Where can I find harvesting nodes?"
Harvesting Supply Vendor says, "Harvesting nodes are usually found where you would expect them to be. Trees can be found in wooded areas and forests. Textile plants are found in open fiends in clusters. Metal and Stone are found in rocky areas and hillsides. Animal hides are found, surprisingly, on animals. Be careful though, hides are much easier to remove if you kill the animal first."
"Don't be discouraged if you don't find any nodes in the area. Keep looking and you'll find a good area."
