Resource-Gathering
The resource-gathering system allows Avatars to harvest natural resources that can be used as raw materials to craft more advanced materials. The harvested natural resources have a guaranteed Trade Terminal (TT) value, and you can trade the resources on the Entropia Universe markets.
Wood Harvesting
The resource-gathering system features Wood Harvesting. Harvestable trees are available on all the planets in the Entropia Universe. You can find wood resources, such as Moonleaf Boards and wood shavings, from trees in certain parts of the terrain.
An increased Resource Gathering skill and Resource Gatherer profession level will allow your Avatar to utilize faster and more powerful harvesting tools, thereby gathering more resources.
Tools & Moonleaf Boards
For beginners in the resource-gatherer profession, you can purchase the TerraTech PH-1(L) harvesting tool at Trade Terminals on all planets. You can produce more advanced harvesting tools as you progress using the appropriate blueprints and materials at crafting terminals. Manufactured harvesting tools can be traded between Avatars and in the Entropia auction, just as most other tools.
When you equip a harvesting tool, the resource that the tool can extract will light up when within range. Using the tool on such a resource will extract the materials.
There are different resource tiers, and harvesting tools have a rating indicating the highest resource tier that can be harvested (along with any lower tiers).
Each resource node, a tree, can only be harvested a limited number of times, and each node has a short timer, after which the node will disappear once harvesting has begun.
