Gathering Skill¶
Train Gathering by harvesting berries and apricorns. Walk up to a ripe berry or apricorn tree with an empty main hand and right-click it to pick it. Each berry has its own required Gathering level, and you only earn XP from berries at or above your level.
Earning Gathering XP¶
A berry's XP is its required level times 10. Berries range from Pomeg (level 2) all the way up to Starf (level 98), so the higher-level berries are worth far more:
| Berry | Gathering level | XP |
|---|---|---|
| Pomeg | 2 | 20 |
| Oran | 35 | 350 |
| Sitrus / Lum | 49 | 490 |
| Haban | 63 | 630 |
| Petaya | 90 | 900 |
| Starf | 98 | 980 |
Apricorns are all level 1 and pay 10 XP each. Prestiging Gathering lowers the XP you earn afterward by 5 percent per prestige rank.
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.
