#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 {adjective} {noun} |
|||
The system is quite particular about the entry of the plant's name, and failing to send the proper syntax will still deplete one usage from the room temporarily. The adjective 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. Prepositions such as 'of' must be omitted ('a handful of oats' is found via <TT>FORAGE HANDFUL OATS</TT>). Sometimes an herb may have multiple adjectives; the rule of thumb is if the first adjective is a color, distinguishing it from other differently colored plants, then both adjectives must be used, where as if the first adjective is not a color, it cannot be used to find the plant of interest. |
|||
== 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> |
