.: Help for foraging (skill)

Foraging is the skill of gathering useful materials directly from the environment —
herbs, wood, ore, and other raw resources. What you find depends on where you are and
how sharp your eye is. The skill is governed by Perception.

At higher skill levels foraging yields better-quality materials and items that are
harder to find. A novice scrapes together weeds; a skilled forager finds rare roots
and choice timber.

━━━ Commands ━━━

  forage          Search the current room for harvestable materials.

Some rooms have nothing to forage. Wilderness, dungeons, and natural environments tend
to yield more than city streets or polished floors.

━━━ Connection to Crafting ━━━

Materials you gather through foraging feed directly into crafting recipes. Herbs gathered
in the wild become alchemy ingredients; ore and wood become blacksmithing stock.

You can also find crafting materials by:
  - Picking them up from the floor in crafting rooms.
  - Looting mobs that carry them (cave goblins, feral herbalists, rats).

━━━ Skill Progression ━━━

Foraging improves through use. Each forage attempt has a chance to advance your skill.
The more you forage, the wider the range of materials you can find.
