Dialogue[]

When talking to Trainer Borda Gemseeker:

  • Trainer Borda Gemseeker: "Don't be shy! Come closer, m'dear, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about collections or harvesting!"
  • Player Character: "I'd like to learn about collections."
  • Trainer Borda Gemseeker: "Collectibles are seen as a glow rising form the ground. If you're close enough, you'll notice a question mark above it. Double-click or right-click the glow and select "harvest." The item you gather will go into your inventory. You can examine this item in your inventory."
  • Player Character: "What happens next?"
  • Trainer Borda Gemseeker: "Your quest journal will open up automatically to the Collections tab. Use the Add button to add that item to a collection. As you travel through Norrath, you'll find different collectibles in different parts of the world. Some items can be part of more than one collection."
  • Player Character: "How do I complete a collection?"
  • Trainer Borda Gemseeker: "Continue to gather and examine all the items you find until all the icons of that collection are highlighted in your quest journal. then you'll be able to turn the completed collection in to a collector who will reward you with some experience. If you already have a collectible in all collections that call for it, you can sell it to a merchant or trade it to another player."
  • Player Character: "I'd like to learn about harvesting and gathering now."
  • Trainer Borda Gemseeker: "Harvestables come in five forms, each tied to its own respective skill. these skills can be seen by opening your Skills window by pressing the P key, clicking on the Skills tab and selecting your General skills. Rocks increase mining, logs increase foresting, dens increase trapping, fish increase fishing, and plants increase gathering."
  • Player Character: "What are harvestables used for?"
  • Trainer Borda Gemseeker: "The items found through harvesting are the basic building blocks of tradeskills. They cannot be sold to vendors, but they can be traded or sold to other players who need them for their respective tradeskill professions. Some components that can be found through harvesting are very rare and can be worth quite a bit of money to tradeskillers."
  • Player Character: "Why do I need to increase my harvesting skills?"
  • Trainer Borda Gemseeker: "The skill required to harvest in a given area increases along with the difficulty of the area. If you find that you are unable to harvest in an area you should return to a less difficult area and practice."
  • Player character: "Thanks for the information."
