Without doubt, gathering of materials is the most time consuming part of crafting in Age of Conan. Even with the new and improved streamlining of recipes, certain items will always be more difficult to find than others. This crafting guide will give you a solid overview of gathering crafting materials and a few tips that will save you some time.
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. Don't 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.
Gathering is bound by the same tier rule that crafting is. Your recipes are given in tiers so the materials that you will need to complete those recipes also come in tiers. Below are the level ranges for each crafting/gathering tier along with the most common adventuring zones that will yield nodes and mob dropped materials for each given tier.
For the crafting class specific goodies, you want to make something and just aren't sure where to find it. At least one item in each recipe will need to be purchased from the tradeskill merchant and the rest is up to you to find. Most of these things can sell for quite a bit of coin on the vendor so you'll really want to go out and get your own materials. Here is a run down of what you will need to craft and some of the better places to find it.
Alchemist will drop in caches which you can open from your inventory to transfer into your resource pack. Animal items will be found on the corresponding animals but you can get some those from the caches.
All the plan ingredients are purchased from a tradeskill merchant in the resource zones. They are silly expensive but you don't have to do all the harvesting legwork! You need harvested items for the construction pieces, and those all come from harvest nodes.
Your metals, stones and cotton come from harvest nodes. Silks are human mob drops and leathers are animal drops. A good tip for tier 1 leather harvesting is to stick with the "prey" mobs. You can kill those really quick with ranged combat and harvest much quicker!
All your gems, uncut and pristine, will drop from human mobs. Some are rarer than others so never toss a gem out when you get one, even if you don't need it at the moment.
The metals, stone, and woods are all from harvest nodes. All of these are pretty easy to gather in the resource zones.
When it comes to node harvesting, Resource zones are top notch. The concentration of nodes makes it easy to make your way around the zone quickly harvesting as you go. By the time you get back to where you started, nodes have refreshed and are ready to utilize again!
If you do choose to use the resource zone for your mob-dropped materials, remember to create a waypoint on your map so you remember where you found what you were looking for or use the maps that I have created. Not only do these maps tell you where the mobs are but indicate what tier they are, you'll notice on the maps that these zones have different mobs.
Having a quick Age of Conan crafting guide on hand can make all the difference in the world and can save huge amounts of precious gaming time.
