Harvesting

Harvesting can be used either in the appropriate owned resource generating property (Mine, Farm, or Mill), or Harvesting may be used on Wild Nodes found throughout the game world. There is an additional Node that only exists as a Wild Node called "Hunting Grounds". Hunting Grounds will utilize the tracking skill to generate specific meat components and foodstuffs.

The cost of a Resource Node is 10 gold, though acquiring them may not be as simple as just buying them. On the chart below the Component Points is a pool that can divide up by the player, so they can harvest what they need. The cost for each component varies; Common cost 1 point, Uncommon cost 5 points, Rare cost 25 points, and Named cost 125 points.

Harvesting skill Level	Component Points	Type Harvestable	Point Cost per component
Minor	50	Common	1
Standard	120	Uncommon	5
Major	220	Rare Named	25 125

Refining- allows the character to upgrade components; they can exchange 7 Common components for 1 Uncommon component, and 7 Uncommon components for 1 Rare component.

Extracting- allows the character to downgrade components; they can exchange 1 Rare component for 5 Uncommon components, and 1 Uncommon component for 5 Common components.

Wild Nodes

You may pick from Wild Nodes once per Reset. Nodes will reset availability when you do as they are a personal reset timer not a global one. This is a reset as in your entire Daily abilities (mana, energy, etc) NOT resetting like your spell pool or per encounter abilities.

Eye for Quality (power) allows a character to redraw any 1 popsicle stick. They may keep their initial pull out of the pool of potential draws when you redraw but must return that initially drawn popsicle stick afterwards.

Quarry

Uses mining to Harvest Ore.

Veins will be piles of foam rocks around the site with a bucket marked OOG nearby. You will pick a number of rocks at random dictated by your skill level in mining. Find the opening in each of the rocks you have pulled and remove the component and discard the rock in the OOG bucket.

Major: pick 3

Standard: pick 2

Minor: pick 1

Mill-able Stuffs

Uses Theurgy to harvest Residuum.

Mill-able stuffs will be represented by a Plinko game with a draw box with it. Your number of attempts will be determined by your skill level. Lowest possible block is 1 highest block is 3, total up the attempts and draw the corresponding number of popsicle sticks from the box. popsicle sticks are drawn one at a time, in the event multiple popsicle sticks are drawn at once return the popsicle sticks to the box shake it and redraw.

Major: 3 attempts

Standard: 2 attempts

Minor: 1 attempt

Wild Growth

Uses farming to gather Herb/Foodstuff

Wild Growth will be fake flowers found around site in clusters, once harvested you must be cultivated in player repped gardens 2'X2' minimum. Gardens must be outside their cabin and conspicuous. Marshals at any time will collect their flowers and replace them with popsicle sticks. In the likely event that the last morning of the event arrives and you still have flowers in your garden you may bring them to the martial station to exchange them for popsicle sticks just prior to the event closing. If there are multiple farmers in a cabin, we need each of you to mark out your own area. If you need flag tape or some sort of marking assistance/supplies please come to NPC camp Friday before Lay On and we will help you figure something out. If you do not have a cabin or are otherwise not staying in a place that makes 'marking off outside your door' viable, you can also mark out a section out in the woods but be advised that you MUST make it clear that this is a personal garden. We recommend something like this.

Major: 3 flowers

Standard: 2 flowers

Minor: 1 flower

Hunting Grounds

Uses Tracking to get Foodstuff, Named Meat and Pelts.

Hunting Grounds will be a small bow and arrow toy with several Target rings for the Tracker to shoot at as well as a box to draw rewards from. Each successful hit on a given target garners a specific number of draws from the box. The rings will be worth one, two, or three popsicle sticks and are based on range the closest being worth one the middle worth two and the furthest being worth three. Once all attempts have been made the Tracker will total up the number of earned draws and will draw that many times from the box. Popsicle sticks are to be drawn one at a time with any multiple draws being returned to the box shaken and the popsicle sticks re drawn.

Specific requested items (i.e. beaver tail or deer antler, etc.) can be requested from the Operations station with exchange. If a tracker wants a deer hide they must take an uncommon foodstuff to exchange them. Major can exchange 3 items, standard can only exchange 2 and minor 1.

Tracking 15+ = Major: 3 (9 attempts)

Tracking 8-14 = Standard: 2 (6 attempts)

Tracking 1-7 = Minor: 1 (3 attempts)

Tagged Nodes:

Each owned node may only be harvested once per game. Each Player may only harvest once from each type of owned node per game.

Example: Team Rules has a Farm and David, Justin and Mike all have Farming we all can't pull from it we would each need our own Farm.

**Note from Plot: repeat Nodes are going to become harder to obtain in as we settle in a bit more on how we as Plot want Nexus to work. Shouldn't be too big of a burden but there may such things as a waiting list or 'go do this for me and Public Works will be happy to carve you out a [Node]. Just a heads up from your friendly local Plot Mikes.
