Now that you've got some resources, the next thing to do is learn how to use them. Let's start with Herbs. They can be used for Cooking and Alchemy. You can use Campsites or Hearts located within taverns to cook meals and brew potions.

Other resources such as Wood, Gemstones, and Essences can be used in conjunction with Ores mined from Moonstones. This will enable you to craft gear that will drastically improve your character's power level. However, to do this, you will need to visit a Crafter. They can only be found in towns and cities.

Lastly, keep in mind that you can refine resources. This will improve their tier; white to green to blue, and finally, purple. Remember to harvest every resource node as even the lowest tier can be put to good use.

Aside from gathering resources the traditional way, as with any MMORPG, you can get resources by defeating enemies. They can drop things like Leather, Salt, and even Magithread. Some of these will also be exclusive resources that can only be obtained from events and quests.

You can also find resources in dungeons. They spawn via nodes, and their placement remains the same even after they are gathered. However, keep in mind, that since it's a dungeon, there will be more than resources down there; tread carefully. Resources Crates are another way to get resources.

You can also send your Amitoi out on expeditions. Once it's done, they will come back with resources, and will also level up in the process. They will have improved gathering capabilities and will be able to collect more resources on their next expedition.

Tips for collecting resources in Throne and Liberty

Now that you know the basics of how and where to gather, here are a few tips you can use to help streamline the process of gathering resources in Throne and Liberty:

Pay attention to the mini-map - While exploring the open world, the mini-map will show icons related to each resource type. You can also use the map to check up on resources that are nearby.
Resources are one-time use - If you spot a resource you need desperately, hightail it to the location immediately. Since resources serve a one-time use, first come, first serve rules apply.
Resource nodes are procedurally generated - Once a node has been harvested, don't wait for it to respawn in the same spot. It will reappear in the general area, but never in the same spot twice.
Climate affects resources - Certain resources are affected by the climate. Herbs, for instance, yield more resources when it rains. Use the weather to improve the quantity of resources you can gather.
Gathering animation can be disrupted - When gathering resources in Throne and Liberty, avoid taking damage from nearby hostiles. The animation for gather will get interrupted, and it will take longer to collect the resources.
