Foraging
Foraging is a gathering skill for collecting useful wild plants around Taria. The current Foraging activity is picking 
Flax Plant, an ingredient used by Fletching.
Getting Started
Find a flax patch near Rowan's fletching shop and bench. Approach a flax plant and choose Pick. No tool is required, but you need at least one free inventory slot.
| Resource | Level | XP | Output | Regrowth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flax Plant | 1 | 5 | 1 flax | 5 seconds |
Picked plants disappear temporarily and regrow in the same place after five seconds.
Using Flax
Take Flax Plant to a fletching bench to make 
String:
| Product | Fletching Level | Materials | XP | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| String | 1 | 1 Flax Plant | 3 | 1.2s |
String is required for every crossbow tier. Rowan also sells flax and finished string when you need extra supplies.
Training Tips
- Keep inventory space open: A full inventory prevents you from picking flax.
- Move between plants: Pick neighboring flax while previously gathered plants regrow.
- Pair Foraging with Fletching: Convert each inventory of flax into string at the nearby bench.
- Bank surplus string: Every fletched crossbow requires one string.
