Where in PR should you start at

[talazen]

Well... since its hard to get to most of pr with the exception of being sneaky i have been in underspring lvling up by harvesting bark excllent and choice ... i been doinggreat

But i want to start harvesting more the stuffi want... for myc raft now that i am starting to get up in lvls... So...

For Fiber, resin, Oil, Sap... Should GoO be the place for me... until i break 150 or should i spend my time in Trench... ....

Where would you go... what would you do ...

Gates of Obscurity in Land of Umbra are max qlt 150, you can dig excellent there at qlt 50 and supreme at qlt 150.

PS: if you want 1511XP by careplanning send me tell ingame to Nookie im always willing to let you

[mboeing]

GoO is a nice place to harvest till around lvl 130. You can get almost all kinds of mats there with a very low agro population. 130 because with another harvest tree higher (which I always assume ppl have) you can pull up to the Q150 mats that are there.

At and after 130 you should be able to pull Q155-160 mats then you change to EF, where its still quite nice concerning agro.

Careplanning is such a waste of time. Why do something majorly boring when you can get almost 2x the XP and mats for yourself with a normal dig. If you really want to help him, just harvest the spots he prospects and that should give 1500 XP for free to him.

Which reminds me I am looking for about 10 high lvl PR harvesters to help me powerlvl a bit =P

Btw the rule for excellent is:

min Q to harvest = max Q in the area - 100

And for supreme:

min Q to harvest = max Q in the area - 50

ToT is quite heavy agro but there are some spots close to the TP's that can be reached easily.

why do u assume that? my pr has always been my highest harvest level. but yes GoO is the place to start.

um no it isnt, not at all. what you have suggested is fine if both harvesters are a similar level but is nonsense if someone has a low pr level. if i have a lv51 pr forager extracting my spots i wouldnt get any xp. PR careplanning has a very useful place in the game:
* it enables low level harvesters to get some decent xp in the pr
* hanging out with an experienced harvester will give experience of mat spots, aggro mobs, safe paths, etc
* makes things a lot safer, 2 pairs of eyes are always better than one
* gives both parties someone to talk to (although this is a dangerous thing generally, typing and digging is my most regular cause of dp)

ToT is not all that bad when u get used to it, some seasons are better than others

You would be digging his spots

[rushin]

You would be digging his spots

well i might if they had pr spec, bonus extraction time 6, etc, etc

[mboeing]

PR spec ok. But bonus time??? 'Where do you get all the focus of to use this?? I have trouble using the a no bonus added full timer with my 4200 focus. GS 3, HR 6 , GQ 250.

And slowly I am running into trouble with my focus in PR as well with
GS5, HR6, GQ140 for 50% and GS5, HR6, GQ160 the other 50%

1.) you harvest the spots of a lower lvl harvester -> gives him 1500 XP + the 2000 XP he gets of his own digs -> total of 3500 XP for him and 1000-1200 XP for you.
2.) you have to stay together either way, does apply to both
3.) with 2 ppl leveling at one mat spot they can rez each other if they are careful not to harvest to close to each other (2-3m appart is enough)
4.) same applies here, and I never had trouble chatting while harvesting with my current setup.

[jarko]

my highest is also PR, i dont even have another 1 above 60 , and GoO is great to start then...why i say CP ? well easy you just dont get 1511 xp if your not 15o in some other skill tree all the time, specials lvls ending with 6-7-8-9

so Sky for 1 time plz just go dig and ***** be a sweet tryker who doesnt always want to know better ayee i think me and Rushin have loads more hours PR digging then you.

With a carer, you don't need to use valuable focus caring, you can put all your effort in to digging. (you can also use a much more aggressive digging plan)

(downside you fill you bag alot faster ..... oh is that a downside )

I can dig in the roots using AS5+AR6+AQL120 (using +3 Bonus time and +1 rites time) and I still have some of focus left over!

I know that I am ok with a carer upto ql220, when I get the levels and will be digging with only +1 rites time at that point

If its just down to XP then go to a 250 zone and dig mission mats, till your lvl250!

Lvl 250 mission mats are in limitless supply, they are useless so you can just drop them (no full bag problem), they are usually not in aggro zones and as there are classed as 'Superb', supreme equivelent, you get max XP every time! But to me this is like chain killing mobs, the fast route to boredom and a new game.

simple u have 2 or more extraction actions, a starter one that goes to the minimum q u need to use to extract a particular pr zone with a reduced rate, and a full power one to blast away with on ur last 1200 focus or so.
and as Neun has said with a carer u can use all agressive actions, along with a mat spec on the prospect means u are using a lot less focus per tick

1.) you harvest the spots of a lower lvl harvester -> gives him 1500 XP + the 2000 XP he gets of his own digs -> total of 3500 XP for him and 1000-1200 XP for you.

thats still no use for excellent/supreme sources as the low level forager wont even b able to start an extraction if they are 50/100 levels below zone. And before u say it yes i pull a lot of excellent and supremes, once you have put some time into tracking what weather/time/season they pop in it's not difficult to leave pr each time with more high grade mats than choice.
