In this video, we’ll take a deep dive into everything related to Ashes of Creation gathering skills: their synergy with other artisan skills, power-leveling strategies, artisan gear, and pretty much everything else. This video is essentially the first part of a three-part series, as I will publish processing guide and crafting guide soon. Essentially, this Ashes of Creation gathering guide combines: Ashes of Creation lumberjacking guide, Ashes of Creation mining guide, Ashes of Creation herbalism guide, Ashes of Creation hunting guide and Ashes of Creation fishing guide.

Ashes of Creation MMORPG is an ambitious project by Intrepid Studios that is led by Steven Sharif. It aims to redefine the MMO genre by offering a truly dynamic and player-driven experience. At the heart of its vision is the concept of a living, breathing world where every decision players make has a lasting impact on the game environment. The game features a unique node system, deep crafting and economy mechanics, PvP & PvE elements, 8 archetypes and 64 classes, naval content, castle sieges and many other awesome in-game systems. The world of Verra is designed to be immersive, with a rich lore, intricate political systems, and deep crafting and economy mechanics that cater to both casual players and hardcore enthusiasts alike. Starting on October 25, you will be able to enjoy the gameplay firsthand by taking part in Ashes of Creation Alpha 2.

Updates:
1. Even though you can buy and use Apprentice XP Scrolls, they don't seem to give XP buff until you actually reach Apprentice level.
2. The effect of elixirs for artisan skills lasts for 60 minutes.
3. Journeyman Level Vendor sells food and elixirs for his artisan skill.
4. Apparently, ordinary wolves may sometimes respawn as huntable wolves as well. However, so far I saw that happening only in one location.

Your gathering and processing videos are incredibly helpful I got an alpha 2 wave 1 key on the last week before the cut off date so most useful videos currently out are outdated or just don't provide enough detailed information for someone how just started playing thank you and keep up the great work!

[dontblamethebunny]

This is the most helpful guide video i've found for Ashes so far, thank you

[Goobeous]

Thank you so much. After too much time for looking for this information. Your video was an oasis in a desert of poor info. Thank you kindly!

[Pain]

first video goes in depth for gathering, , Very insightful thank you for the guide !

[zCHROMATICz]

Thanks for the guide. I've spent a lot of time exploring and doing pvp, but I ended up neglecting crafting as a result of it. This will definitely help fill my gaps of knowledge!

[sherpagoolsbee]

looking forward to the processing guide!

[ainzooalgown]

this guide is beautiful, it gives people simple advice without outright lying to them but if anyone actually follows it they are shooting themselves and their guild
bravo 👏

Thanks! Now I don't need to learn it myself. The devs are crazy to think anyone will invest their time learning these things xD On release, I will already know everything and can go straight into farming best spots.

Relaly i formative and great video! Hope you would post more often, love your content :)

[JhiEsteRr]

I don't even play the game, But the guide is still helpful for those who plays AoC 😅

[maryjoness]

could you go into more detail about the heat maps and how to access them?

[crusadurus]

If only there was enough copper for us to make even the novice level tools. yet sadly Steven said he thinks there IS enough copper, its just too hard to buy it from those who do mine it. i disagree, its a basic T1 resource, should be common esp since all other gathering needs some.

[VieslawDotCom]

Can you provide a link to the map you used with locations of various resources?

[SammOnoq]

the fishing explanation caught me off gaurd, I didnt know fishing meant catching fish
color me surprised xD

[KACCool]

This truly is ultimate guide. Thank you.

[MobileThrills]

With fishing as a main what would pair well with it? Cooking an somthing else?

[vereor_nox]

What realm are you playing on Flanker?

[TheNEPTY]

Scrolls are currently not functioning at 100%

I think gathering is going to change dramatically with profession skill trees, and once they start layering the economy on top in phase 2.

Right now they are just making sure all the tuning parameters work on respawning nodes, types, quality and quantity. Making sure they respawn randomly and are not floating in mid air etc. Where those sliders end up is anyone's guess. I bet they can set them based on consumption, season, node-level, story arcs or anything. They are also clearly testing the node gathering buffs that can be obtained by events.
