Collection

In order to raise your Collecting skill, it is required to change job to Commoner. It is recommended to only level one profession and create a new character to collect another type of materials. Using Citizen's Springs can also give more skill points to raise them.

Raw materials are collected on different maps. At the collection area, a NPC merchant is usually found to sell the tools needed, as well as an Apprentice Refiner to refine the raw materials. Using the services of a Master Refiner (located in towns) may give excellent quality materials. This may increase the chance of getting better armors and weapons.

Note that some of the raw materials are needed for several Elder quests, and some of the refined materials are needed to upgrade weapons (e.g. Apple Wood to upgrade a bow).

Fishing is a collection skill which allows you to harvest materials required to cook HP and MP recovery items. You will need to level Rising Water Level to obtain higher materials.
