Foraging
The foraging skill is specific to certain classes and races, allowing them to rustle up food, drink and other odd items.
What are the best strategies to developing and using your foraging skill? Which classes and races should be concentrating on this skill? What items can you find through foraging? How can you best make this skill useful?
Post your strategies on how to best use and develop the foraging skill, and read, rate and comment on those posted by others.

Beyond the gates seperating newbie from intermediate. You dont need to forage these my friend.
On the ground it will look like a sliver of green like off of normal newbie snakes. Pick it up and it looks like a leaf. Congratulations you've found a misty acorn!
Found two before I hit level 9, but you gotta keep an eye out on the ground, try around the first big hill

I have found these all over Misty Thickets, even near the entrace to Rivervale. They are used for Halfling tailoring I do believe. Just go into the Fools Gold and use the brewing barrel there. Add the acorn and one water (not foraged water) and hit combine. You get an oil if you succed. My brewing skill was at 69 and it did not say it was trivial.
Anyone know what to do with it after that?

I just started an iksar, and it is my first character that is able to forage. It seems to me that I fail more often at foraging when I am running than when I am standing still. I am just delusional, or is this a real factor? Secondly, I wanted to confirm that it is possible to gain skill raises even if that skill fails. I've seen it with sense heading, trade skills, and others. So hit that forage button, even if you're medding.

Looks like the "real" idiot is the one that can't read. Notice this person was asking if the skill was better standing or running, not saying anthing about sitting. Man your dumb.

Actually, you'd be the idiot. The original comment said "So hit that forage button, even if you're medding."
Medding = sitting, and no, you can't forage while sitting down.
Make sure you are not REALLY the idiot when you call someone else one.

Several different issues here.
Is foraging less likely to be successful when running? Answer, no.
Is foraging able to be successful when sitting (medding)? Answer, no.
Is foraging able to grant you SKILL INCREASES when sitting (medding)? Answer, yes.
Therefore, if you are able to increase your forage skill (i.e. not Iksar), then attempting to forage while medding is worthwhile (assuming your skill isn't maxed out). However if your skill is maxed out or you are otherwise not able to increase your forage skill, attempting to forage while medding is a waste of time as it will never succeed in foraging anything.
If you would stop calling each other idiots, this might have been a constructive conversation.

Iksars get forage skill as a natural ability, and no class open to them gives that skill as a "trainable" option. This means your skill is fixed (at 20 if I remeber right) and will never go up. So running, walking, standing still, or doing jumping jacks will never yield a gain in skill.
As for the other part to the question, foraging does not take movement into account for success. It looks to see if you are sitting, meding, fighting or binding wounds. If you are doing none of those things, you can attemp to forage.

I constantly forage and find no difference in success when running or standing still. also I gain skill points during failed attempts as well as success.

You must be standing to forage. I'm not sure if you advance your skill if you try to forage while mending. Interrupt you mend for about 5 seconds, stand up and forage, then go back to mending.

You can gain skill foraging while medding. You will get the response that you must be standing to forage, but still have a chance to gain skill.

i have been working on this bard quest(well acyually i just found out about it), and it sais i need a Burynai Bundt cake. The quest origionates in F.V. with some baker chick. Anyway, i heard a rumor that the cake is a foragable item, any1 ever seen one of them?
Anonymous
As to the Bundt Cake, they let this one slip at the Baltimore FanFaire...There is no Bundt Cake. This little bit was designed purely as story line...the girl doesn't want to date the guy so she sends him on a fools errand, there is no bundt cake so he can't find one and won't come back to bother her. I know it's a bit frustrating when VI puts in a story that seems to be a quest, but hey what can ya do :)
Anonymous
To my knowledge the bundt cake is made, with the bakeing skill. But that one or maybe more of the items are foraged, I think that it might be foraged berries. Check with the bakeing sites and see what they say.

I was in Greater F when I noticed something strange. While running around I foraged the normal items, but no Morning Dew. I was then in the Ranger Guild hall working on the True Shot quest with a friend. While I waited for him to finish up I hit forage 6 times and got 5 successes, bang ... 4 Morning Dews.
Went away and traveled through GF and got the normal stuff. Then back and the Ranger Guild and bang ... 3 Morning Dews.
Shift to the Cauldron and the Fanastic Four camp, nothing but water for 10 attempts. Swim to the island and nothing but food.
Now its off to Everfrost. Normal rabbits and fruits and then while waiting for Redwind to spawn 6 attempts and 3 Frost Turnips (other 3 water of failures).
So my question to you all, are there special location dependant in the zone, or am I the victim of a statical hoax

I, for one, have NEVER been able to forage tea leaves in Eastern Karana... :(
I once spent MANY hours medding, practicing casting, learning languages, and whatnot on the bridge at the NK zone-line...foraging all-the-while...and NEVER a single tea leaf.
I'm beginning to think that they MAY be area specific...because no random generator would do what it does to me, UNLESS you just can't get tea leaves on the bridge...
Please either tell me where I CAN forage tea leaves...or prove me wrong! ;)

Actually it has always seemed to me that there are spots in a zone where it is easier to forage certain items than others. In RV I seem to forage water easier if I stand near the water. While camping the alchemist in Perma if I sat on one side of the room I was more likely to turn up vegetables than anything else. While this might just be the forage table getting stuck at a point I think it is more. After foraging for over a year now it seems that there are special places to forage what you want. Anyone else who feels this is so post some examples.

We believe that these two foods, and two others (don't know the names) are used in either the Ranger or Druid Particle Weapon quest. Maybe both. Either way, you forage them up (Heartfruit in GFay; that's where I got mine), I think there's one in Everfrost, and the fourth I just don't know. There's an NPC with the name Ella Foodcrafter (either in RiverVale or Misty Thicket) who gives you a weird bowl with four slots and a combine button. You put the four MAGIC LORE NO DROP foraged items (DRU RNG only) in there, and hit combine. You get a hardened mixture. Unfortunately, that's as much as we know right now.

I have been trying to use Forage since I was Level 1 Wood Elf Druid.
I do it anywhere from 10-20 times a night.
I am currenlty 16th level, and have tried this in GFay, LFay, Steamfont, ButcherB, NK, WK, Qeynos, East Com, West Com, Nro, and Oasis... Never once have I gotten anything. Every time it tells me I fail...
I am wondering here if I am doing something wrong.. Do I have to be in a specific place in each zone to forage? I know I have read that some special foraged items you have to be, but what about normal food and stuff? Or have I just been unlucky enough to not succeed, and should spend time working on it specifically ?

You must train on it.
To actually forage something when you're a bad forager it takes much more than 20 times believe me.
But when you're a master (I am 140) you forage something about 2/3 of the time.
Just be patient

Its not just wood elf bards that cannot forage as masters, only Rangers and Druids are able to hit 100. So other Wood Elf classes, while seldom played, have the same limitation, Rogues Warriors and any others (if any, I forget) are stuck at the skill they are born with.
Personally I would not mind Bards getting 100 if they are in the naturally foraging Race, but at this point that probably creates more bad reaction than good.

True. Perhaps this finally gives a boost to rangers. Since so many classes may TP and make money, this gives the ranger class an opportunity to make some plat using an ability.

Eat the rabbit and roots, but other items, especially vegetables are good to sell to brewers. Many of the higher brewed items require Vegetables, or require Vodka, which requires vegetables. As a result Veggies go for a gold a piece or more. You may wait a while for a buyer, but when you get one they generally want a lot.
Berries and Fruit are also useful in brewing white and red wine, but they are not as necessary as Veggies.

What are these Darn tootin things for?
I spend a wee bit of time in skyfire, and pretty soon (i'm a compulsive forager, always forage when the button cycles), I got 4 different types of dragon crystals. It says that i found some food. I'm a bit squemish 'bout eating anything that looks like a Lightstone.
They're Lore and No Drop, so I assume they're for some quest. I gave the four of 'em to the kantana dude in FV once. His quest says something about bringing proof of walking on seering ground and taunting death. Well Skyfire's ground is seering, and to be in that zone, you taunt death.
When I gave him the crystals, he just accused me of trying to bribe a member of the Royal Guard or something like that.
Anyway. Anybody know what these things are for??

The plains pebbles are so far only used in a single quest. This quest originates in Cabilis and unless you have killed an insane amount of goblins or sarnak, is restricted to Iksar.
The Iksar have the foraging skill and the quest involves (if I remember correctly) travelling through most parts of the "old world" to collect a number of different pebbles for some Iksar npc.
Everything else (for example having a pebble in your backpack reduces food/water consumption) I would call a rumor until proven otherwise.

Well i had put a plains pebble in my food backpack and i played for 4 hours and only ate 1 piece of bread, i had my water in a separate backpack w/ no pebble and i drank 3 bottles of water ( no i wasnt in the desert either was in EK ) so yes i think that it does reduce the amount of food or water that you consume if it is in your food /water backpack
Anonymous
Started getting a plains pebble and carrying it around in an open slot. At first I thought that it was reducing water consumption, but not so sure.
On the other hand my foraging "seems" to be a lot more balanced. Before I had would be always fine with food but constantly run out of water (been in NK,EK, HP from lvl 16 - 22).
Now that doesn't happen. I am getting closer to a 50/50 split between water and food. Or so I think. Problem with random numbers you can always get a strange run if the sample is small.
On the other hand I am enjoying giving them out to people and telling them the rumors about its uses. People seem to always like shinny mysterious things. <g>

On the Everlore Baking forum, the debate over food consumption has been a big deal. Apparently, Verant had admitted that in certain zones, food & water consumption differs. For examplt in the desert you will consume water faster. So if you think your food consumption has decreased because of the pebbles there are other variables that could have caused the consumption differences. Personally I think the Plains pebbles thing with food consumption is a myth.

Rather than eat what you forage (except for rabbit meat), try selling it to a brewer. Many of the higher level brewing recipes require vegetables/fruits/berries, so selling your foraged items is a good way to pick up a gold or two while practicing your skill.

All of the "common" foraged items can be used in trade skills with the exception of roots. Vegetables, fruit, and berries can be used in either baking or brewing. Rabbit meat can be made into rabbit stew... just add water and toss it in a pot!

Rabbit meat can be used for Rabbit Stew amongst other things so that too can be sold to others, unless you fancy yourself as a bit of a baker...
I need to know about a few items if they are foragable. Is shrub lettuce foragable and if so, where? Is honey mush bread foragable and again, if so, where? These are two components for making catfish croak sandwich which is for a quest. Thanks for your help.

I think honey mush bread is something to bake. while i haven't found a book on how to make it. i noticed that you can forage something called honey berry in the dreadlands. been trying to make the honey mush bread using that and a variety of eggs i also forage for.

Well seeing as it's honey MUSH bread why not try and add an extra bottle of milk or something like that? Mebbe a flask of bloodwater or one of those viles of blood?

As a master baker, and frequent reader of various baking forums, honey mush bread has not been found, neither the bread or the recipe. Its been something people have been looking for for a long time.

I have three kinds of lettuce sitting in my bank but I don't remember shrub lettuce. You might want to check the quest pages for that quest if you haven't already.

Foraging is pretty straight-forward. You train in it once, and then keep hitting your forage button whenever it pops back up. ;-) Here are a few tips:
1) If you're a race that gets forage to start with, don't forget to put a point in practice when your class allows you to train. It won't improve until you do. At level 9 and beyond, you shouldn't need to buy food or water again if your class includes foraging at that level and you've been practicing for a few levels.
2) Place your food container with your foraged food first in your inventory. You'll usually loot something like a box that's lighter than a backpack and will hold the same amount of foraged food. Place zone-specific specialty forages in the next container, as you can sell these to vendors, and a few are used in quests.
3) You can't forage while attacking in combat or sitting down. So, unless you're very compulsive or low on food or drink, don't worry about foraging while medding, and it's not worth stopping your auto-attack to forage. ;-)

I agree I forage EVERYTIME I can no matter what situation. Well almost hehe. But how can you pass up the chance to find something worth over a gp for nothing. Plus my skill has been maxed since I got forage, now at a 125. And you can become a master fisherman too with all the grubs you find. Fish, Forage, Sense, Sense, Sense, fish, Sense, etc.
Decent way to make money and relax after some tough slaying looting and pillaging. Made 25pp off 100 foraged berries, not bad for free skill! =)

3) Correction. You can't successfully forage anything while fighting or medding. You'll get a message like "Must be standing to forage". BUT, you can raise skill while both fighting and medding.
Bah, forage in combat, show your enemy you are not worried! It's easy, hit autoattack to stop fighting a second, forage, and hit autoattack again to turn it on. I got so used to it that I took up begging when finishing off pesky Gnolls in SK. Unless you're in a tight battle you might as well, you lose no time in your weapon delay. Dropping your item on your picture puts it into your inventory without searching for the pile as well. Use "i", not escape, to get out of invetory or you briefly lose your target (til he tries to hit you again).

I also forage while attacking (unless it's a HARD fight) by momentarily turning off auto-attack, foraging, then turning back on auto-attack. I think characters with foraging should forage as constantly as possible (until maxed out and overwhelmed with food). It's as essential as sense heading in my opinion.

actually with new /doability commands, you can make a social that has you forage and do sense heading and meditate with one click. My druid has had this setup for a couple weeks now and has raised forage from next to nothing to over 100 at lvl 22. Im the type who would never ever remember or be bothered to practice forage or sense heading. Sense heading is also over 100 because of this.

I'm new to EQ and just rolled up a Druid halfling. Can someone please explain to me the previous post on how to "make a social that has you forage and do sense heading and meditate with one click" ? Sounds like the way to go to me!

gotta add a comment to number 3 ...
if you are medding you *should* still hit your forage hotkey.
You will get the message "You must be standing to forage" but I had several skill increases while doing so ... You will believe me the first time it happens to you, seriously.
So because the repop of forageing is so long use it while medding to raise skill ...
just my 2cp
