Every MMORPG has its ownGatheringsystems, andThrone And Libertyis no exceptionto the rule. This huge game has quite an assortment of items and a complex yet easy-to-learn crafting feature.
Players looking to get the best materials to create weapons, gear, accessories, food, and other consumables, will need to work a lot to get enough stock of precious materials to craft them. So, let’s take a look at how Gathering works in this game, and all the important details about resources.
How To Gather Resources In Throne And Liberty
To gather resources, players need to spot a node (plant, mushroom, wood thump, etc). approaching and press ‘F’ (PC)/‘Square’(PS)/ ‘X’ (Xbox) to start the Gathering animation.
Once the animation concludes, the items gathered should be automatically added to their inventories. Unless the players do not have enough space in their bags. Here are some important things to have in mind when gathering resources inThrone and Liberty:
Items that grantmovement speedand a leveled Ground Morph will help players farm faster. But watch out for the competition: other players can grab them first.
Types Of Resources And Where To Find Them
Most of the resources players need will pop out in the field in the various open areas, and if they pay attention to the minimap, they’ll soon notice the nodes and will be able to spot them easily.
Herbsgrow more in plains and near bodies of water (rivers, ponds, lakes) whileWood LogsandMushroomsare more common in forest, like theCarmine Forest, for example, which is the best places to findEssenceandWood.
Then, there’sMystic Globes a special kind of nodethat will yield randomized (and sometimes rare) resources for players that find them. Like most nodes,Mystic Globespop up in the general map and mini-map interface, but unlike the rest of them, they’re available for all players, and will always regenerate in the same spot after a few hours.
Some types of resources also appear in Dungeons, and the same mechanics apply to them there. But the yield of these resource nodes might be better than in the common areas, and the nodes always spawn in the same spots each time the players run a dungeon.
Using the Glide Morphfrom a vantage spot is the best way to find resources fast and swoop down on them before other players can grab them.
What To Do With Gathered Resources
Most Herbs and Essences can be used either forCookingorAlchemy, which happens to be all part of the same system. Players can useCampsitesorHeartslocated in taverns to cook meals and craft potions. While it is true that consumables are the main interest of Herbs and the likes, some materials gathered are also used for other purposes.
Wood,Gemstones, andEssencescan be used alongsidemined Oresto craft powerful Gear to enhance characters' power levels, which will allow players to participate in higher tier activities such as Raids and Dungeons. In this case, players will need to visitCrafterswhich are present only in Cities and Towns.
Players canstock up their materialsin theWarehouse, and the Crafters will use their stock from there when they need to craft items. There’s no need to carry a load of resources all the time.
All resources can be ‘refined’ into a superior version. That is: white to green, green to blue, blue to purple. So, each resource node is precious and will help players even if they do not yield the desired results. Keep farming, and then use the lesser resources to get better ones through the Crafters' refine feature.
Other Ways To Get More Resources
Besides the regular nodes that appear in the map, there are other ways to get certain resources. One of them is by slaying enemies, which occasionally drop items likeLeather,Salt,andMagithread.These resources are also exclusivedropsorrewardsfrom events and quests/bounties, so players should keep a steady balance between gathering and conducting other activities to get all the things they need.
DungeonsandResource Crates, which are common rewards from completing activities, are other steady sources ofmaterials. Events are a great way to get more resources of specific kinds, for example: During theWolf Hunting Contestevent inBlackhowl Plainsevent, players might notice the drops of Leather are increased. So participating in these events is definitely worth a shot for those lacking specific kinds of materials.
Somejourney challengesmight require players to gather resources in specific dungeons. Pay attention to that since there will be juicy rewards for those that accomplish these goals, like Skill Books, Rarer Resources, and more.
Finally, players can also playa minigame called: Amitoi Expeditionswhich basically consists on sending their plushie partners in quest of their own. These little creatures will come back after a while with many resources (depending on for how long and where they were sent), and level up in the process, improving their gathering capabilities and grabbing even more materials the next time players send them.
Best Places To Gather Resources
Next, for players looking to make a living out of gathering resources, or for those simply needing more stock of precious Materials, here’s a list of the best places to farm Herbs, Wood, Essences, and other resources:
Armed with the knowledge on where these nods spawn more frequently, players can arrange their own farming routes. But they should also be aware of the aggressive monsters roaming the higher level areas, since the resourcesnodes are procedural, they are prone to spawn near a monster zone.
