#REDIRECT [[Foraging]]
The '''FORAGE''' [[verb]] is used to find various plants in wilderness areas in [[Elanthia]]. Most commonly, it is used to find [[herb]]s such as [[acantha leaf]], though sometimes it is used to find poisons, flowers, fruits, or vegetables.

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

== Syntax ==
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.

== 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><ref>[http://www.gsranger.net/guides/foraging/ Elanthian Herb Information] - Hosted by the [[Elanthian Explorers' Society|EES]]<sup>[http://www.gsranger.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.

Foraging successfully depends on a few factors. The following will affect the character's chance of success:
;Increase:
* [[Agility]] bonus
* [[Intuition]] bonus
* [[Survival]] [[skill]]
* [[Perception]] [[skill]]
* Kneeling position
* Open hands
* [[Ranger Base]] spell, [[Foraging (603)]]
* [[Ranger Base]] spell, [[Assume Aspect (650)]], Aspect of the Yierka
;Decrease:
* Injuries (hands, eyes)
* Only one hand open

==Messaging==

Indicates that the plant can be found at a different time of the day (f.ex., only at night):
<div {{Log}}>
As you carefully forage around you can find no hint of what you are looking for right now, though you are fairly certain this is where it can be found.</div>
