It is not a verified fact, but it is believed that the 24 hour timer on a tile is triggered upon the ''attempt'', and '''not''' when/if you actually obtain an item from it. Therefore if you find nothing, you are better off trying another tile instead of repeatedly trying on the same one.

Main / Skills / Foraging

Description

Foraging is the skill used in searching for food and herbs. Eating this food directly from the ground will solve starvation, but it is more effective when used in cooking. It is believed that a higher Foraging skill increases the likelihood of finding some food or herbs.

Info

  • Right-click a grass-tile and select Nature ---> Forage
  • You can find a Foraging and Botanizing item every 24 hours ( real time ) per grass-tile.

Tips

It is not a verified fact, but it is believed that the 24 hour timer on a tile is triggered upon the attempt, and not when/if you actually obtain an item from it. Therefore if you find nothing, you are better off trying another tile instead of repeatedly trying on the same one.

It is also been commented on that tiles that are not foraged or botanized for long periods of time (a week) have higher chance of getting something than tiles that are checked 24 to 36 hours apart.

And don't forget that you can both forage and botanize on the same tile, these actions are on seperate timers.

It also seems that you have a higher chance of getting something if you forage or botanize in a tile with flowers of any kind.
