The FORAGE verb is used to find various plants in wilderness areas in Elanthia. Most commonly, it is used to find herbs 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 FORAGE EPH MOSS, however, FORAGE EPHLOX MOS 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.[1][2] 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
- Survival skill
- The character is kneeling
- The character has two hands free
- The Ranger Base spell, Foraging (603)
- Decrease
- Injuries (hands, eyes)
- Only one free hand (one cannot forage with items in both hands)
