 Requiem utilizes a unique, custom system to handle some types of harvesting in the game world. This system allows developers to add in a limitless variety of items and resources into the game world by means of harvesting, as opposed to more traditional methods commonly found in UO. Requiem utilizes a unique, custom system to handle some types of harvesting in the game world.

 It is important to realize that traditional harvesting, in the form of mining mountain faces and chopping “static” trees, is not the preferred method of harvesting in Requiem. Most all resources that can be acquired through the game world are obtained from what are known as “Resource Nodes”. Nodes come in many different forms, can require different skills to “tap”, and provide a wide variety of different resources when “worked”. Harvesting from static resources, such as trees and mountain tiles, will still yield a small amount of basic raw resources, but for more special and rare resources, one must find and utilize a resource node. It is important to realize that traditional harvesting, in the form of mining mountain faces and chopping “static” trees, is not the preferred method of harvesting in Requiem.

-Once a player double-clicks a node with the appropriate tool in hand, the node will check the skill of the character. Different types of nodes are governed by differing types of harvesting skills. For example, an ore-veined rock that yields ore is governed by the Geology skill, whereas a tree is governed by Horticulture, and etc.+Once a player double-clicks a node with the appropriate tool in hand, the node will check the skill of the character.

 In most cases, harvesting nodes can be “tapped” by a character with any skill level. Skill levels predominantly affect the quickness and efficiency of harvesting a node.

 As part of the Ability System, numerous Abilities exist in the game world that can affect harvesting skills in various ways, from reducing the time spent harvesting a node, to increasing the chances of collecting secondary and rare resources, and more. The wise player will seek out the far corners of Eden to find these special abilities. As part of the Ability System, numerous Abilities exist in the game world that can affect harvesting skills in various ways, from reducing the time spent harvesting a node, to increasing the chances of collecting secondary and rare resources, and more.
