We have provided you with countless Age of Conan recipe lists, walked you through getting started in crafting, and now we lead you through the daunting world of resource gathering!

Gathering materials for crafting is the most time consuming aspect of crafting. We want to help cut down the learning curve by providing you with the knowledge you need to find your materials faster. Learn how to harvest nodes, find out where materials drop, and utilize our detailed maps of the resource zones to find the mobs you want for the resources you need all in our handy Resources Guide!

You learn to harvest the same way you learn to craft. You speak with a harvesting trainer in one of the resource zone villages and take on a quest to gather items from whatever you are learning to harvest. The trainers will have you gather basic items and a rare item to progress to the next tier of gathering nodes. DO NOT delete or use the items that you need for the quest because you need to give them to the trainer to complete the quests. If you use them then you have to gather the same amount all over again to progress.
