“The art of picking things up. Except mushrooms, those are special for some reason. Experts at Foraging are also experts at tracking down stationary items and locations (such as many Quest Objectives).
Foraging is a skill that increases as you pick up fruits, flowers, and other wild plants. It also governs the level of wood logs that can be harvested.
The skill eventually unlocks Seek Objective (level 5) and Objective Orienteering (level 15); both of which help with locating quest objectives (think "tracking" in other MMOs).
Leveling up 51-60 Foraging requires speaking to Jesina in Eltibule. The cost starts high but lowers with higher favor.
