Harvest any chance you get, be it on the way to or from hunting or questing or between groups. What you can't use for your own tradeskill you can trade or sell to other crafters (drink ingredients, root-types, and ore tend to be most useful, then jewelry stuffs, and food/alchemy less so). With luck and patience, you will get Rare tradeskill items, and you'll get uncommon ones (also marked "rare" on their description) too.< > < > Rares, depending on type, are used for adept III versions of spells (the best you can get short of Master chest drops- extremely rare to get the chest at all, let alone have it contain the spell you need and be the one that wins it), or especially good armor, jewelry or weapons for the tier, or rare furniture, which is nice to have once you're out of your basic apartment, as it reduces the status cost upkeep of your residence. The higher the tier, the more the rare is generally worth, some of the tier 5's are worth plat although you probably will wish to use them not sell them < > < > There are nice two and three room apartments in the non-starting areas of the city which have much more room for items, and either a hefty monetary amount up front and a lesser one weekly, or a moderate money and status cost upfront, and small money and status weekly (enough of certain items can eliminate your status upkeep). You earn status points through doing writs and heritage quests (once you're guilded).< > < > Uncommon harvests (glimmering, luminous, etc.) are used for imbuing playermade items in certain slots: legs, chest, weapon/bow/shield, activateable and ring, can add a healing or damage proc, self-buff, debuff, that sort of thing.< > Certain uncommons are worth far more as they are now used in some Heritage quests instead of the true rares that used to be required.< > < > There's lots more, whatever server you're on I *highly* recommend being in the crafting channel (under chat options). It's usually one of the more active and informed channels, and you'll learn a lot about crafting from the conversations there.< > < > Oh, a link to one of the oldest/biggest link sites:< > Black's Links
