Gathering Gear
This is an article converted from the guides section on the homepage. Please help by improving this article or editing it.
Gathering might not be commonly associated with combat, but it does require players to go into the open world and face its inherent dangers. Whether you are fighting a pack of enchanted direwolves or are venturing into bandit territory to gather the best resources, your gear and your skills are what will determine if you ride home with a backpack full of goods or get a fast trip back in your underwear. This is why each gathering profession (Harvester, Lumberjack, Miner, Quarrier, Skinner, and Fisherman) has its own equipment with a number of spells to help them with their profession. These gathering gear sets focus mainly on survivability and escape, while also granting passive bonuses to your gathering yield. And unlike traditional combat armors, gathering gear does not require kill fame from mobs to level but instead levels with your gathering tool allowing you to skip the hours of dungeon runs in favor of furthering your chosen profession.

The Basics
Each set consists of four items: a Cap, Garb, Workboots and Backpack. These items are unlocked simultaneously with the gathering tool itself through the gatherer line on the Destiny Board starting with Tier 4. For example: to unlock the Tier 5 Lumberjack set you will need to unlock the Expert (Tier 5) Lumberjack node. Your mastery with that tier tool will improve your mastery with the gear, so keep gathering to raise your gear’s item power!
The Backpack, which goes into the cape slot, has a passive ability which reduces the weight of its respective resource by 30%. You will be able to carry more resources than ever before!
The Cap, Garb and Workboots each have one passive spell that increases gathering yield for their respective resource. This means you will have more chance to get extra resources while you are out gathering and have your gatherer gear equipped. The bonus gathering yield increases with every Tier.
When equipping an entire set, your gathering yield of the corresponding tier of resources and below is increased by:
- Tier 4: 10% increased gathering yield
- Tier 5: 20% increased gathering yield
- Tier 6: 30% increased gathering yield
- Tier 7: 50% increased gathering yield
- Tier 8: 70% increased gathering yield
On top of their useful passive spell, the Cap, Garb and Workboots each have a set of basic active spells as well as one unique active to choose from:
- Cap: Block, Cleanse or profession-based spell
- Garb: Mend Wounds, Ambush, Wind Wall or profession-based spell
- Workboots: Run, Wanderlust or profession-based spell

Crafting Your Gathering Gear
The gear of course also needs to be crafted, which can be done by Toolmakers. The gear crafting unlocks simultaneously with crafting the tool. For example, if you can craft your own Tier 6 Pickaxe, you can also craft Tier 6 Miner Gear. So head to your nearest reasonably priced Toolmaker or build your own on your personal island and craft the latest in gathering fashion. You’ll find the Cap, Garb and Workboots under the Armor tab at the Toolmaker and Backpacks are found under the Accessories tab.
