#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 also 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.
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

;This plant can be found at a different time of day (e.g., 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>
;This room has the wrong terrain type:
<div {{log}}>As you carefully forage around you see no evidence of what you are looking for. You wonder if it could even be found in this terrain.</div>
;This room has been foraged until completely depleted:
<div {{log}}>As you forage around, you notice that someone has been foraging here recently and you are unable to find anything useful.</div>
