Prospecting question.

[ecclest]

Hi all,

I've managed to reach around level 40 in foraging by just doing my forage/harvest around the entrance to Fairhaven. I've tried prospect further out but I always get negaive results. Why? I have a brick for "Find better materials - Choice Materials" in my prospecting action.

I can only think it's either related to my level, or that the sources are few and far between and I've been spoilt by an abundance around Fairhaven...

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Cheers

I can't speak for trykers, but in the jungle at least, things are set up semi-intelligently. Around large trees are where you'll find bark, wood, and seed. around smaller trees you get the seed, counterweight wood, and fiber. Around grasses and weed you get shell, bark (sometimes), and seed, resin can usually be found just about anywhere, and amble is somewhat random as well.

Places to forage are also typically lecated next to/around objects almost always. To help find them get tracking, as well as range and angle prospecting, even the 20degrees and five meters helps IMMENSELY over the default.

Aside from those hints, there is tell that the trykers have serious harvest issues, but those are likely to be fixed wednesday, so you might just want to wait two days.

Good luck!

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yep, I'm using both 40 degree and 10m ranging. I also use 50m tracking. In Tryker there are visual clues that look like blobby jellyfish in the general area where sources are found, so I usually start tracking around those. But in 100% of the tries so far I've gotten nada results.

In a months time when I'm more experienced I'll look back at this message and laugh, but right now I'm a bit bored of the beach in front of Fairhaven...

[Edit: I got 250m tracking and started looking as far away (!) as Crystabell. After a lot of messing around I finally found something. Plain Rotting Fiber. Great.]

You need to go farther than Cristabell...
