Gathering lumber in Alpha-2.[1]

The first major reveal is that in Ashes of Creation we have now expanded the resource gathering system to include a great many of what the world is showing you of these resources. So when you see a tree, you can chop a tree. If you see a rock, you can mine a rock.[1] – Steven Sharif

Gathering ore in Alpha-2.[2]

Looking at this this rock here, I don't know what that rock is before I actually complete the Harvest. But after I complete the Harvest I see that I collected basalt in the bottom right hand corner.[3] – Steven Sharif

Gathering is one of the artisan classes in Ashes of Creation.[4][5]

  • Many of the visible resources (such as Trees and Ore) in the open world are gatherable.[1]
    • This is a change from Alpha-1 where a limited number of resource locations were highlighted with "sparkles" to indicate they were gatherable.[1][6][4]
  • The exact type of resource present within resource nodes is not known until the node is harvested. This applies to some but not all resources.[7][7][3] This will be implemented in-game in Alpha-2 phase-3.[7]
There's a bunch of different things in Ashes that will be gatherable. We have plants and trees and rocks and fish and animals and creatures that can be tamed; and we're thinking to reach the visual fidelity bar and to have things a little bit more rooted in what we know is that it wouldn't really make sense for you to just see gold all over the world in the same way that you would plants and trees; so we wanted to get feedback on what players think about some of the different gatherable types having different things that you would have to know and expect from them. So rocks are a good example of this, where you can see a rock but until you crack that thing open you don't know if it's full of stone, crystals, rubies, gold. So we wanted to try that out with some of our gatherables to have players have to open this thing up- and that's not to say that we players won't stumble on a nice load, or vein, or geode of gold, but most of the stuff that they would they would find to the world, unless they they look hard enough, would require them to crack that stone open.[3] – Kory Rice
Certain low level gatherables will have a tiered progression into higher level crafting. So for example if I'm gathering... leaves of the blue petal flower to craft a pigment that's going to be used in the development of a tunic that I can wear at level one, then I may need to collect those in order to craft the pigments to craft a greater pigment that might be present in the in the crafting of a higher level item. So it's going to be a tiered progression so that materials have relevancy throughout the different levels of of crafting; and that's important from an economic stability standpoint. You need to have layered demand from a supply standpoint so that players who are interested in collecting and gathering those materials still are relevant when the later level items are crafted.[16] – Steven Sharif

Leveling up in the Lumberjacking profession in Alpha-2.[26]

Artisan progression occurs based on experience (repetition of tasks) as well as achievements of certain benchmarks within each artisan branch (Gathering, Processing and Crafting).[27][28] Progression in each artisan profession is per-character.[29][30][31][32]

All 22 professions, the players get to be novice of; and then it starts narrowing from there. So, after that you'll only be able to be apprentice of five things. You can be a journeyman in four things. You can be a master in three things; and you can be a grandmaster in two things. So you'll need to narrow, but you can also diversify to support the professions that you want to first push further in.[18] – Kory Rice
If you are grand master in that profession you can max out the entire tree. But you can only grand master 2 things.[39] – Kory Rice
  • Choosing a specific path in the skill tree allows the player an opportunity to specialize in a certain area. This encourages player inter-dependency, enhancing the artisan experience.[41]
When it comes to balancing a system that's something that we do during testing phases. When it comes to architecting the system itself and identifying the areas in which certain certain professions excel, where they interact with ancillary systems, their interconnectivity across the artisanship system as a whole, the important part there is to identify how that the interconnectivity lives with the other professions in the artisanship system. And what type of reliance you have on particular professions to complete the path of crafting or introduction of new items into the economy.[30] – Steven Sharif
Q: In regards to character level and artisan level. We know that currently there are two separate things. That being said, what prevents a player from staying level one and partying up with a level 50 player to then gather level 50 resources in the high zones? That way, anyone who wants to take those resources will have to kill the gatherer who is level one and get a large amount of corruption for killing a level one as a level 50.
A: Gathering higher level resources requires significant advancement within a particular profession for that gatherable resource. So, if I'm a Miner and I want to access the highest possible mineral, I need to be a master miner; and in order to achieve the master minor status I am going to be gaining adventuring level experience through that process, because many of those quest lines, many of those achievements are facilitated through quest lines. Some of those quest lines interface with adventuring difficulties that are out in the wild at certain levels. So that's going to predicate me- that's going to be a predicate for me to achieve a certain level in order to complete some of these quest lines and achieve that master status. So you will you will likely not see the ability of a level one alt character having the access to high level mineral mining, or any other type of gatherable out there.[43] – Steven Sharif

Artisan mastery

A character may only ever be a Master in up to 3 professions and Grandmaster in up to 2 professions across all artisan branches.[17][25]

  • Artisan mastery is no longer restricted to a single branch.[25]
  • Characters may change which professions they master.[53]
Becoming a master Crafter or a master Processor or a master Gatherer should be a significant time investment and resource investment; and because of that it should also be something that when you achieve that status it's like people on the server know who you are.[54] – Steven Sharif
  • Masteries aren’t just about making an item. They grant many things, including titles, access to items, bargains, and quests. [55]
  • Previously it was stated that with considerable effort a player can master all professions within a mastered parent artisan class.[56][57] This was later changed to a player being able to master some but not all professions within a mastered parent artisan class.[58][59] This was changed to being able to master up to two or three professions within a mastered parent artisan class (subject to testing).[30] This was changed to being able to master up to two professions.[29] The current stance is only being able to become a Master of 3 professions and Grandmaster of 2 professions across all branches.[17][25]
Q: What would be the daily activities for someone at level 50 with a maxed out artisan tree?
A: The daily activity might be something along the lines of, depending on what type of profession or processor you are, of interacting with fellow artisanship individuals to wheel and deal on supply and demand chains; orchestrating and participating and caravan roads that move materials across the world so that you can satisfy buy orders and/or commission requests. Participating in unique trades and/or dungeon experiences that have the opportunity to acquire unique crafting materials so that you can create the dragon's legendary sword and sell that potentially. Finding unique harvestable materials in remote parts of the world or engaging in treasure map finding for again unique materials and/or processing things. There's a whole host of different intents that are loops for the players to participate in that again are situationally relevant based on the world state.[60] – Steven Sharif

Resources

Alpha-2 Gatherable resources in the Sandsquall Desert.[61]

We want our players to have a reason to explore the wilderness, to travel with purpose, and much of that will be driven by our resource system. Transporting these goods might just be more difficult than gathering them. Our regional market system allows players to participate in creating pocket economies that will reinforce the stability of goods in particular regions.[62]

Gatherable resources (also known as raw materials, gatherables, and harvestables) occur in locations around the map that vary by zone, tier, and type of resource.[63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][62]

  • Resource spawning in Alpha-2 will continue to evolve from a placeholder static system toward the intended design, taking into account player feedback from testing.[71][72]
Land Management is essentially a part of the artisanship service that is intended to govern certain areas of the world, based on two axises here: Either a good land score, which can be informed by such things as advancement of civilization, such as node level, or the construction of buildings, or certain events successfully being completed: that can increase the rarity type. It can increase the tier type of a resource spawn, and it can increase the quantity and quality of the spawn that you receive in that area, if the area is successfully completing these predicates that we value the score off of. Alternatively,1 if it is a undeveloped location, or if the resources are consistently being ran dry... in the future we're going to be implementing this interstitial stage of adolescence for some of the trees that can yield lower amounts of resources, but if harvested have a more detrimental effect on your gathering tool.[73] – Steven Sharif
We want to be able to spawn stuff randomly and we want to put it in places in the world that will make people travel and bolster up our local player-to-player economies: have people actually be out in the world looking for stuff and not standing in the same place waiting for a tree or a flower to respawn over and over again. So, we're having the best of the both Worlds where we have our lower tier stuff that will fill out the base look of our world, so that it's always looking good; and then the higher tier stuff, from apprentice onward, will always spawn randomly in places that we've deemed look good and make sense for what that thing is. So, surveying is a way that you can track that stuff down. It will help you find places, will help you find particular resources, will help you find resources at a certain rarity; and so it should be something you could do as a gatherer on your own, or group up with other people to bolster up the power of your survey, or the range or reach of it.[64] – Kory Rice
  • Certain resources will only be gatherable for a limited time during specific story arcs.[78]
You want to take advantage of the limited time you have during the story arcs to get some of these rare resources for crafting things.[78] – Jeremy Gess
  • Resources do not expire or degrade over time.[90]
We don't want to create an environment I feel where you're having to micromanage each of the resources that are very vast in our game. We have 100 plus material system where you're having to play whack-a-mole with managing those things... I don't see the value in it.[90] – Steven Sharif

Resource quality

Gatherable resources of varying rarities Alpha-2 screenshot.

Resources will have differing tiers of rarity for the same resource type.[67] This is somewhat similar to Star Wars Galaxies.[93]

You will have an opportunity to proc certain qualities based on your progression in the Artisan tree. So if you are a gatherer; and as you advance in your gathering, you'll have a higher opportunity to collect better resources.[95] – Steven Sharif
We are also refining how gatherable rarity impacts crafted item stats, ensuring gatherable rarity feels more meaningful. All of these features, along with other system refinements based on community feedback, will be introduced in the 0.8 (April 10, 2025 ), 0.9 (April 24, 2025), and 0.10 (May 8, 2025) build updates.[71] – Cody Peterson

Resource extractors

Resource extractors are potential constructions that can collect resources over time.[96][97]

Some of the following information has not been recently confirmed by the developers and may not be on the current development roadmap.

Resource locations

Alpha-2 Mining sandstone in the Sandsquall Desert.[71]

Artisanship Service Multi-Tagging will ensure that gatherables will appear in logical, immersive locations, such as weeping willows near riverbanks, and minerals like copper in caves, while still maintaining randomness and rewarding exploration. Gatherable Spawn Clusters use a weighted system to inform their chance to spawn at their viable tagged locations. This means that players can learn the locations in which certain gatherables have a higher or lower chance to spawn, but it will still allow encountering eureka moments![71] – Cody Peterson

Resource locations vary by zone, tier, and type of resource.[71][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][62]

A very key feature of the economic systems in Ashes is that resources respect locales and that is in part why our harvestable system is so complex, because each of these harvestable resource nodes that you see are part of a broader ecosystem of artisanship nodes that populate based off of tier of resources, and type of resource; and they have specific locales in which those resources get spawned; and that's influenced by the harvest rate in those locales as well: which is basically our land management score. So, if resources get harvested too early in their lifecycle, that can have a more profound effect on the land management system. If they're continuously depleted, it can have a more profound effect. And certain types of resources spawn in certain locations, so as to create this ebb-and-flow of supply and demand that then puts the agency on players to move those resources through systems like the caravan system and merchant trade ships; and there then becomes a new opportunity for player friction as well as those resources can be very lucrative.[98] – Steven Sharif
  • Resource spawning in Alpha-2 will continue to evolve from a placeholder static system toward the intended design, taking into account player feedback from testing.[72]
These periods of static rarity are 24 hours at most and it depends on the gatherable. So it's not that each time the server resets we choose new rarities, there's a time period where something will regrow in the same spot with the same rarity, but after that time there's a new check and it'll spawn somewhere else. And part of the reason we do that is because we want to create situations where there's friction and conflict where people will fight over these things. I think one thing we're looking at coming up is, right now all of the different gatherables tend to be homogeneously distributed: You can find ruby almost anywhere in the Riverlands in just random spots; and we're looking at applying more rules to that so that maybe you find gems and caves more. Maybe willows only grow right on the edge of the rivers; and then coming up with some clustering rules, so when you find a ruby there's a better chance that there's a collection of additional rubies around it, so that'll make these discoveries I think even more impactful. But again, I think there's a balance that we want to find to reward explorers, but then to also create these situations where there's something for people to fight over; and if it's purely random then you lose that part. So that's our thinking of it and of course we're still listening to how the community is reacting and we're hoping to to see how people react to these upcoming changes.[72] – Rhett Mathis
Resources as they spawn throughout the world, their location can change, which obviously instigates players to move resources so that they can sell them relevant to the crafting locations and workbenches that are available in nodes.[75] – Steven Sharif
  • The location a resource is found can affect its benefits, bonuses, and other characteristics of that resource.[76] Lower level resources will be abundant. Higher level resources that are gatherable by Apprentice level or higher artisans will spawn randomly but in places that make sense for that type of resource. Surveying is a mechanic that solo or group players can utilize to track these resources down.[64][66][67][69]
  • Some resources exist as a clusters (also called vein gatherables). These last until the full resource is depleted.[71][100][65][66][67][69][70]
    We are planning to introduce updates to the Gatherable Spawning System in our 0.8 (April 10, 2025), 0.9 (April 24, 2025), and 0.10 (May 8, 2025) build updates of Alpha Two. These changes will be designed to make gathering more engaging and rewarding. Gatherable Spawn Clustering (by rarity) introduces variability in spawn times, amounts, and locations, making rare gatherables require continued exploration to acquire. Instead of static spawn locations, gatherables will dynamically respawn at new locations within larger spawning areas, meaning that when a gatherable resource is acquired, it won’t return to the same location. Our goal is to maintain the excitement of discovering a high-rarity gatherable area. However, this knowledge should come with the understanding that others will also discover and act on it. The days of logging back in at the exact spot to find that legendary copper two hours later are over.[71] – Cody Peterson
    • Once a vein resource is depleted from one location it may respawn in the same location or somewhere else, depending on the type of resource.[67][69][68]
    • There will be moving resources such as herds of animals that are constantly moving around the world.[65][68]
    Herds are a source of certain types of wild gatherables but they're in animal form and they're animated; and they exist in a group of the golden fleece sheep that might only spawn very rarely in certain hillsides; and only during spring. And if you can find that vein so to speak of resource you can interact with the herd and you can gather from them.[65] – Steven Sharif
Q: Will there be gatherable hot zones in PvP areas to encourage PvP for higher tier and density resource gathering?
A: Absolutely 100%. The important thing to keep in mind about resource gathering and this idea of player conflict is that we also have a zone known as the Open Seas, which is a good example I think of your question, as to having certain cross-sections of the Artisanship resource table, or commodity resource table intersecting with areas of the world that can be more dangerous.[77] – Steven Sharif
Certain types of resources will have a corrupt state... We have a Spirit Bloom, which is a harvestable herbalism plant, but when a Zone becomes corrupt you can potentially yield Corrupted Spirit Blooms; and those are necessary components of certain crafting recipes.[101] – Steven Sharif
  • Some unique resources may be monsters in disguise or have monsters defending them.[102]

Some of the following information has not been recently confirmed by the developers and may not be on the current development roadmap.

Surveying

Surveying plays a key role in helping gatherers track down and identify resources that spawn in particular locations through the use of surveying tools.[64][14][15]

Surveying is something that we're trying to use for gatherers to really interact with the things that we want to do with our dynamic world... Surveying is a way that you can track that stuff down. It will help you find places, will help you find particular resources, will help you find resources at a certain rarity; and so it should be something you could do as a gatherer on your own, or group up with other people to bolster up the power of your survey, or the range or reach of it.[64] – Kory Rice
In our current iteration, some testers have mastered ways to optimize gathering spawn times, which presents an opportunity to make the system more engaging for everyone. With these changes, testers will be able to utilize a new Surveying item to discover the general location of specific gatherables and find rarer instances of them. Testers will also be able to gain information about gatherables that are waiting to respawn, giving them the opportunity to contest these respawn areas. This evolution of the system strives to encourage continued exploration with Surveying, increasing friction in highly sought after areas over time.[71] – Cody Peterson
You'd work with a surveying tool; and you set the surveying tool down, and that tool would have a specific area in which it's able to uncover and extract information about the resources that are in the area. As a starting out gatherer you might end up with one of the tools, but as you as you progress and become more proficient with using the tool you might be able to set up additional pylons and extend the area of your survey. That allows you to start making shapes and having more strategic areas that you're surveying. If you could connect multiple pylons to create a shape, maybe you could follow the twisting caverns of the cave. Maybe if you're out in the open like we are here you could just try and make yourself a nice widened shape to scan as much of the area as possible. So it'll be up to the player to be tricky with their surveying tool to try and get the most efficiency out of their survey.[14] – Kory Rice
  • Surveying can also identify the types of resources that spawn statically within an area and also provides information about the seasons and locations they spawn in.[14]
Surveying is a way that players can check out an area for resources. Players can learn where resources are that are static and that grow back in the same location; but we'll also have resources and Ashes that can spawn anywhere, so surveying will help players locate those those resources. So if they're looking for something specific they can hunt them down. Surveying will also allow players to uncover hidden resources that players wouldn't be able to see with their with their naked eye. Another thing that a surveying would provide is some of the information that we're talking about before, like for instance if you survey- and inside of your survey area there's plants, you might learn what season that plant likes to grow in. You might learn whether it likes to be watered during the winter versus how it likes to be watered in the summer.[14] – Kory Rice
  • Surveying can help uncover hidden resources that are not visible to the naked eye.[14]

Land management

Harvesting Oak Timber in Alpha-2.[105]

As you draw resources from your surrounding area- what type of effect does that have on the land; and then also how effectively can you draw those resources without having such a deleterious effect on the land, which might impact future resource gathering for some period of time: And it makes relevant the movement of these players who are collecting these goods from the environment, that they actually cannot always just do so in one particular area, as the land management begins to degrade. So it actually encourages movement across the world to discover new areas that might not be as perturbed as the ones you're coming from. It's a very interesting idea. It's something that we're going to be prototyping in Alpha 2 and getting feedback on and testing.[15] – Steven Sharif

Land management mechanics are present for gathering artisans.[73][74][15]

It could be could be positive or negative, or both simultaneously. So the land health value ties into the health of a specific ecosystem; and the ecosystem can scale with different segment sizes of the world, or the world itself: A biome, maybe a node, maybe the player's freehold. And the things that a player does in those areas will contribute to health in a positive or negative way. So doing something like rotating your crops might increase the health of the land because that's considered something good to do; and maybe apprehending or removing poachers that are over hunting a certain species could be helpful to the health of the land. Maybe the mayor puts out a request for players to try and get rid of invasive species that are plants- maybe they're overgrowing weed and it's stopping other valuable plants from growing.[74] – Kory Rice
Q: From our understanding, the land management system in Ashes leads to environmental consequences due to over harvesting. With the elimination of the Enemy of the State feature, what mechanisms are available for node citizens to manage or counteract situations where a group of non-combatants intentionally depletes resources from an enemy node, given the significant downsides associated with becoming corrupt?
A: There are answers in the Guild War system, in the Node War system to respond to aggressive actions like land management abuse. However, let's say the member- the people doing the work are alts and they are not in a guild and they choose to be citizenless. The other thing that we want to keep in mind is that there are ways to improve land management scores. There are policies that you can take which improve that and counteract that. So, it is not just a zero sum proposition between 'somebody's griefing me and not', this now may direct the way that you choose to govern your node in response to those outside actors. This is again intended to engage the systems. So, while you may not want to accrue the corruption yet dealing with these alts or whatever, you now may need to manage your node differently in order to compensate; unless it is meaningful enough to you to PK those people and you go and do that. That's also an option.[107] – Steven Sharif
Q: On the land management side, would there ever be a potential policy that allows you to make an area, like say a forest, a purple area? Or is that something that's not being considered?
A: If we're talking Ashes of Creation's first expansion, number two, or whatever, and we want to introduce perhaps some of the mechanics or policies that do what you just described, like designate a zone as as open PvP, or if we wanted to reintroduce the 'persona non grata' approach as well, that I think is still in line with the PvX philosophy of the game. So, I wouldn't rule it out at some point far in the future, but generally I think we have a lot of bloodthirst in the game currently through the events that we have, through the flagging system that we have, through the open seas flagging provisions that we've made. There is a heavy emphasis of PvP in the game, as it rightfully should have, because we are a PvX game and our conceptually designed philosophy is, you build the world through PvE you change it through PvP. Those are the competing factors. I think where it stands now is sufficient.[108] – Steven Sharif
There's a particular reason for why that inventory system is intended to exist within Ashes; and part of that is from the aspect of everything in the world is gatherable and there is a land management system that exists behind those gatherable things. The land management system takes into account how players are interacting with the environment: how many of the resources they're withdrawing from the world; and that decreases the spawn rate within certain localities as those things go too high. So there can be a degree of economic warfare by sending players out into zones where you want to mitigate collection of resources. You send your players out there to take all those resources and then that diminishes the land management score of that particular zone.[109] – Steven Sharif

Artisan gear

Work-in-progress Alpha-2 character user interface showing three gear slots for artisan gear at the bottom right of the paper-doll.[110]

There's gear for all of the different crafting, gathering, and processing professions that'll help you do those different trades.[111] – Kory Rice

Artisan gear boosts artisans in their gathering, processing, or crafting professions while they are wearing the gear.[112][111][113][114]

  • Artisan gear and adventuring gear do not need to be swapped for either to be effective when they are equipped on a character, but players will be able to toggle gear visibility between their adventuring and artisan gear.[116][110][113]
If you want to be seen as wearing the herbalists outfit, you're still going to have your adventuring gear present and on the character, and benefiting from the stats that are conferred by them; and vice-versa.[116] – Steven Sharif
Gear for artisans are going to live alongside your adventuring gear. So you will currently- the approaches, and we'll test this but currently- the approach is you'll have artisanship oriented gear. This might be beneficial for your gathering; it might be beneficial for your processing, or crafting, or whatever it is- your profession. Essentially you will craft that gear, you will equip that gear, it'll live almost as a undergarment slot so to speak; and then you can activate that and it will show the appearance if you wish during the activation when you gain the benefit from the from the gear itself; and then could disappear afterwards and go back to your adventuring gear. That's the current approach. We're going to play with that a little bit. There's some discussion and disagreement on the team about how we do that, but our hopes are for Alpha two, we will have I think a couple of sets at least. We're demonstrating all of the artisanship from gathering to processing to crafting in limited fashion in Alpha 2 want to have that gear present to play with this approach.[113] – Steven Sharif

Gathering tools

Crafting an apprentice herbalism gathering tool in Alpha-2.[117]

Different professions will have a number of quests available to introduce players to their first toolsets; and then, their toolset sustainability will be incumbent on the player to continue to gather the resources necessary to repeatedly create these tools, because they have a durability that gets expended when interacting with the resources in the open-world.[118] – Steven Sharif

Gathering Halcyonite using a mining pick gathering tool.[13]

Each gathering profession will have three tools. The tools come online as you progress through the profession; and the different resource types for each one of the professions may require different tools. So, you basically want to carry around the right tool for the job. And tools along with artisanship gear will have stats on it, so you can itemize towards how you want to gather, how fast you want to gather.[13] – Kory Rice

Gathering tools (also referred to as harvesting tools, artisan tools, and toolsets) enable the gathering of resources in Ashes of Creation.[13][119][9][10]

Tools do advance within the artisan tree, so your ability to either gather, process or craft will require the equivalent tools necessary at that stage of crafting in order to accomplish the task at hand. So, you could not mine copper and mithril with the same tool.[10] – Steven Sharif
  • Tools will have durability and lifespans.[118][66][122]
    • The amount of usages of a gathering tool increases as the gatherer becomes more proficient in the gathering artisan tree.[66]
    • Tools may become non-repairable, requiring re crafting.[118][122]
  • Artisans will not need to rely on other trees in order to make their tools.[9]
  • The developers are considering the introduction of gathering tools that require two players, such as two-person saws that can fell larger trees.[121]
Your progression within the profession will take account what tools you can use. There might even be some opportunity to do some gathering with other players that . Typically in other games that I play you usually do the gathering alone. You're venturing around alone; and we wanted to take a look at maybe having a friend to help you with a two person saw on a larger tree. Maybe there's some panning that you could do as opposed to just hitting with the pickaxe. So, we'll have other tools that are part of that progression path and other activities that players can do if they would like to gather together.[10] – Kory Rice
