[edit] Foraging
[edit] General Information
Foraging is the first skill in the Agriculture field and is used to find seeds and roots that can be used for Planting. When you forage, you use a foraging stick to search bushes, flowers and the like.
[edit] How to Forage
You will need a Foraging stick in order to forage. Once acquired, simply open your inventory (Press B) and click with the left mouse button on the foraging stick to activate it (the cursor will change to a square). After the first attempt you can simply press the “U” button to activate the stick if you haven't used any other item. Last, click on the plant/bush which you wish to search. It doesn't matter what you search since the results don’t seem to be related to what kind of plant you search.
[edit] Foraging Formula
Failure/Success rate is determined by how many orbs you have in Intelligence and your foraging skill level at the time of the skill check.
- Outcome = 25% + (Foraging/2) + (Int/6)
[edit] Foraging More Effectively
As your level increases the possibility of getting more and better things with each attempt increases as well. There are also certain items which can be used to boost your foraging skill while wearing them (see below). You can forage in the same spot multiple times; a divining rod will tell you how many more seeds you can attempt to collect from any given spot. No matter your level, though, you tend to get a lot of seeds while foraging so make sure your backpack has plenty of space to accomodate (or find a seed bag).
