Foraging is a task assigned by the [[Adventurer's Guild]].

== Syntax ==
FORAGE FOR STEM
The syntax for the forage verb is as follows:
*FORAGE {descriptor} {noun}
The descriptor can be abbreviated, however, the noun cannot. For example, if foraging for [[ephlox moss]], the command can be typed <TT>FORAGE EPH MOSS</TT>, however, <TT>FORAGE EPHLOX MOS</TT> will not find the ephlox moss, even if successful.


You may abbreviate the adjective, but you must use a complete noun.
== Foraging ==
The availability of the various plants depends on an area's terrain and climate. As many areas do not possess certain climates or terrains, many foragable items cannot be found in a given area.<ref>[http://www.play.net/gs4/info/flora/home.asp Elanthian Flora Guide], on Play.net<sup>[http://www.play.net/]</sup></ref>A specific room can only be foraged for five items at a time. When one successfully forages in a room, the "inventory" of the room decreases by one, and the room begins to regenerate its "inventory" at a rate of one per six minutes. If a room is depleted significantly and no foraging occurs in the room in 20 minutes, all five items in the "inventory" are replaced.
