Gathering

Gathering refers to obtaining crafting materials by picking up materials on the ground that are scattered around Portia. Gathering does not require a special tool and uses very little Stamina. Some items "sparkle" to easily identify a gatherable item.

Occasionally, some characters may pick up items; for instance, Dr. Xu gathers Herbs within the outer walls near Central Plaza during his morning routine.

Materials
Gathering is a common source for some materials and the only source for others.

Seeds
Some seeds can be obtained when gathering Animal Feces on the fields. Chili Pepper Seeds can be obtained by gathering Chili Peppers in the Desert.

The seeds can be planted into the Planter Boxes in the player's Workshop.

All of these seeds can also be purchased at the Farm Store.
