Editing Gathering

'''Gathering''' is a custom skill found in the Revival Runescape Classic server. It is similar to the Farming skill found in Oldschool Runescape and Runescape 3, however instead of growing your own herbs, trees and general produce you instead gather it from various locations using a variety of tools. 

== Overview ==
Gathering allows a player to obtain certain items such as unidentified herbs, fruits, berries, vegetables and sugar cane that can be used in a variety of ways to further a players progression. Mostly, this skill is used in tandem with Herblaw to gather all of the herbs and secondaries needed to create potions, however it can also be used to obtain items for cooking and quests.

== Getting started ==
To get started, purchase some gathering tools from any Gardener found around Runescape (see below). Once you have your tools you can start to gather your desired produce. If you're just starting out, you can find a patch of farmland near the crossroads North of Draynor that contains potatoes, garlic, onions and tomatoes. Simply right click > '''Harvest {X}''' or click on the gather spot to begin. 

Gathering a desired produce at lower levels may result in higher failure rates to gather but as you progress the chance to gather an item gets higher and higher. After a while the spot will become damaged and you will be unable to gather again until it has grown back. This is usually shown as 'damaged ground' for allotments, or exhausted/depleted for bushes, fruit trees or sugar cane.

=== Tools ===
Most - but not all - gathering spots require some sort of tool to help gather the produce. For gathering spots that don't require a specific item to gather it, using that item will greatly increase the chances of gathering the desired produce.

==== Required for gathering the item ====
* Herb clippers - Used for gathering herbs at herb spots, limpwurt roots, seaweed and snape grass. 

==== Not required for gathering the item, but makes it easier to gather ====
* Hand trowel - Used for bushes and allotments. 
* Fruit picker - Used for gathering fruit trees.

=== Gardeners ===
Gardeners can be found wandering in various locations around Runescape, including;

* Varrock castle courtyard
* Lumbridge castle courtyard
* Camelot castle courtyard
* Ardounge castle courtyard
* Hemenster
* Yanille gardens

=== Soil ===
Gathering nodes like fruit trees, bushes, and allotments can occasionally become weakened. If you have a bucket of soil or a watering can, the correct item is applied automatically; otherwise, the node skips a production cycle.

Soil boosts a node’s strength, giving a small chance to earn extra produce. Once reinforced, the spot stays “soiled” for up to three minutes as long as you continue gathering.

Empty buckets can be filled by using them on soil mounds. Two mounds are located near the flax fields in Catherby, one is found in the Ardougne allotment and one is found in the Champions Guild south of Varrock.

== Produce locations ==
Below is a list of all of the produce spots found in Runescape for different produce types. Please note, the time between respawn is when the spot has been completely depleted. 

=== Fruit trees ===

=== Blessed/cursed grapes ===
†† At level 85 Gathering, grapes can be converted into '''Blessed Grapes''' or '''Cursed Grapes''', which are then used to create '''Wine of Saradomin''' (blessed) or '''Wine of Zamorak''' (cursed).

==== How to bless grapes (Wine of Saradomin) ====
* Wear '''full Monk’s robes'''
* Stand inside the '''Edgeville Monastery''' building with the altar
* Use a '''strung, blessed Symbol of Saradomin''' on the grapes

==== How to curse grapes (Wine of Zamorak) ====
* Wear '''full Zamorak robes'''
* Stand at the '''Edgeville Monastery altar'''
* Use a '''strung, unholy symbol''' on the grapes

==== Additional note ====
* Each grape converted (blessed or cursed) '''drains 1 Prayer level'''.

=== Allotments === 
 
'''Allotment locations can be found...'''
* In the farm North of Ardougne
* In and around Lumbridge, and near Draynor village

|}

† Six Sugar Cane plants can be found in the Karamja banana plantation. When used on any sliced or diced fruit, they produce stackable '''Sweetened Fruit''', which heals 1–2 Hitpoints each.

It is worth nothing that the original in-game allotment locations that existed in the original version of Runescape Classic '''DO NOT''' count as gathering locations.

=== Bushes ===

=== Herbs, snape grass, limpwurt root and seaweed ===  
These produce types can be found in various locations around Runescape and are mostly used in the Herblaw and crafting skill.

==== Herbs ====
Herbs have no set respawn time, and can respawn anywhere between 60 - 240 seconds. There are no specific herb patches, but each herb patch can give any herb up to Dwarf Weed based on your gathering level. The higher the herb, the less likely it is to receive it from gathering.

'''Herb spot locations'''
* Three in Taverly
* Two on the west side of Varrock castle
* 4(?) in the new dungeon connecting Karamja and Port Sarim dungeons

==== Crown of foliage ====
The [[Crown of foliage]] is an enchanted Dragonstone crown that can aid with gathering herbs from herb patches. It gives a chance to gather triple the number of herbs you would normally gather, and has 2,000 charges. There are tiers of herbs that deplete the charges, but in general it is a very useful item when you are looking to bulk gather herbs. When coupled with the [[Gathering cape]] you can purchase at level 99 for 99,000gp, that can further multiply the number of herbs you receive up to 9.

==== Limpwurt root ====
Limpwurt roots can only be found in Taverly, where there are three spots found near the Druids that inhabit the area. Herb clippers are required to gather them.
