Ability Breakdown & Details
Forage is an underutilized skill that is granted to Scouts. Similar to the artisan "sample" skill, foraging allows you to scrounge the immediate area for food and drink. This food and drink provides different buffs, such as temporary strength increases, HAM penalty reducers and other effects that have multiple benefits. At this time you don't receive XP from successful forage and these remains a request of the Scouting community.You can also forage lairs, which provide you with interesting items such as bees and eggs. The eggs are useful in some kinds of crafting, and can be sold. Bees can be placed into a creature habitat craftable by artisans. While these don’t benefit you directly, they do provide some interesting visual affects and may make you a few bucks selling to loot collectors.
The Scouting community feels that Forage has not lived up to its original design premise, which was to create incentives for Scouts to explore the landscape. We are working hard with the Devs to turn forage into a useful feature that provides useable loot and food items in line with the player crafted consumables that have become a key factor in the game.
Using Forage
1. Forage must be done outside and can only be initiated while not moving.
2. Forage zones are pockets made 22 meters from the next one. In these pockets, a player may forage for goods and when successful, the pocket is depleted. If the player wishes to gain more foraged items they will have to move to the next pocket to forage. These pockets will regenerate over time.
Each "area" has 4 forage slots. You can only have 4 successful forages in an area, No matter if you forage 1, 2, 3 items at once. Once you hit the 4th success that area is dry. The area will regenerate items at a rate of roughly 1 per 5min. So if you say get 4 successes in a row, you will not get a success for another 2mins or so.
3. Forage succes increases as the player gains more forage skill. At master scout, the forage success is higher and the the number of items the player is supposed to receive is increased to a maximum of 3 in a single forage. Items are chosen randomly although fishing bait seems to be rather commonly obtained.
Maximum items:
1 Item at Survival I. Foraging +5
2 Items at Survival III. Foraging +25
3 Items at Master Scout. Foraging +50
