Gathering Resources

Resources are raw materials used for crafting and upgrading locations. They are mainly gathered at guild castles, holy temples, farms, mines, and lumber mills with tools including pickaxes, scythes, wood cutting axes, and shovels. Tools are made in the Engineering profession. Resources can also be found in the wilderness.

To learn what resources are available at any location on the map, click the flag to see its Resource Card.

The Resource Card for Basilea Mine, specializing in limestone.

Specialties

Some locations have specialties, which means it offers a larger quantity of whatever item it specializes in. Specialties will be displayed as icons in the image area of the Resource card. The Resource Card shows what is available when the location is fully upgraded and the bastion is full. You may need to do some upgrading or provide the bastion with materials to get access to the materials the Resource Card displays.

Farms and Crops

See Forestry and Farming for a complete guide to farming and growing crops.

Farms have flat land to grow crops, and beehives that produce honey and beeswax. Soil quality is important when choosing where to farm. Low quality soil is in non-loot zones near the capital, and top quality soil is found in more dangerous areas.

Planting crops in the rain means you don't need to water them!

Farms are shared spaces. Plant your crops in an orderly way so others can fit theirs too!

List of growable crops:

• Arnica
• Barley
• Carrot
• Flax
• Flowering Plant (produces Infloresence fruit)
• Garlic
• Hemp
• Herbs
• Herb Fruit
• Herb Leaf
• Hops
• Lemon Balm
• Onion
• Parsnip
• Root Plant
• Rue
• Wheat

There are two plants that cannot be grown:

• Mistletoe - Looks like a green bundle of leaves hanging low on trees.
• Saffron - Purchased from Food and Herb merchant for 5 silver, or gained from farm storehouses at guild provinces.

Mines and Ores

Mines are areas for collecting minerals and ores. Closer to the capital, one can find more common ores and minerals, while rarer ores are found at Holy Temples and Guild Provinces.

Upgrading mines increases the number of nodes available and the variety.

List of rocks and minerals and their uses

• Coal - fuel
• Limonite - iron lump
• Pyrite - steel
• Tektite - aqua fortis
• Sulfur - aqua fortis
• Calcite - dziwer
• Siderite - dziwer
• Nitre - bulat
• Quartz - bulat
• Magnetite - bulat
• Salt - cooking
• Limestone - building material and lime mortar
• Gneiss - building material and furnace construction
• Granite - building material and furnace construction

Veins

A group mining a pyrite vein.

Veins are large deposits of minerals found at mines and more rarely in the wild. Veins will always be of the mine's specialty type. A vein has a very large overall yield, but a slow gathering time. Because of their large yield and the long gathering time, veins are best mined in groups. Veins have a very long respawn timer, and a bonus for gathering in a group of 5 or more.

For a comprehensive list of where veins can be found, check Mineral Specialties.

Lumbermills and Wood

Lumbermills are for collecting and processing wood. There are 5 types of wood: Pine, Yew, Ash, Oak, and Elm. Wood type generally does not make a difference in weapon or armor crafting, but it does make a difference in upgrading structures, because only certain types of wood are accepted for each level of upgrade.

The level of the lumbermill affects how many wood nodes spawn as well as what type of wood. Generally Holy Temples and Guild Provinces have the highest number and highest quality wood.

Pine is typically used for billets, while Oak, Ash and Elm are used for higher level building upgrades. Yew is preferred for bows, but not required.

Be sure to check the Bastion as well as the upgrade level of the lumbermill before using it.
