Gathering Skill

Train Gathering by harvesting berries, apricorns, and vanilla crops. Walk up to a ripe berry or apricorn tree with an empty main hand and right-click it to pick it; vanilla crops are trained by breaking them. Each plant has its own required Gathering level, and you only earn XP from plants at or above your level.

Earning Gathering XP

Everything you harvest has a required level and a set XP value. You earn nothing from a plant below its level requirement, and prestiging Gathering lowers the XP you earn afterward by 5 percent per prestige rank.

  • Berries pay their required level times 10, from Pomeg (level 2) up to Starf (level 98), so the higher-level berries are worth far more.
  • Apricorns are all level 1 and pay 10 XP each.
  • Crops pay a fixed 5 to 50 XP, scaled by how slowly the crop grows: quick staples like wheat sit at the bottom, slow growers like the torchflower and pitcher plant at the top.

Crops

Fully grown vanilla crops train Gathering when you break them in the overworld or the Nether (nether wart grows down there). You must fully break the crop, a crop that is not fully grown gives nothing, you only start earning a crop's XP once you reach its required level (exactly like berries), and you only earn XP where you are actually allowed to break the block: anywhere unclaimed, or inside a claim you are build-trusted in. Melons and pumpkins only count when grown from a stem. These same crops also roll into the AFK gathering mushroom pool once you are high enough level to earn XP from them.

Where to train

Gathering sits at the south of the Skill World hub ring in the berry field, reached with the /berry warp. Harvests give more berries as you level (25 percent extra at level 10, 50 percent at 40, double at 80) and start dropping Mystery Keys and Poke Balls at level 20. See Berry Field for the extra-drop gates, EV Juice and adjacent-harvest perks, and the Magnetic Hoe. Any berry or apricorn tree in the world can be picked.

Perks by level

Every Gathering perk unlocked from level 1 to 99, straight from the in-game progression menu. Most levels add a new berry to the list you earn XP from; the key, ball, and extra-drop perks are called out. Levels not listed grant no new perk.

Berries in the kitchen

Berries picked with Gathering feed straight into Cooking: berry tarts, pies, and desserts take tiered berries, and every curry wants them too. A stocked berry pouch is half a pantry.
