Harvesting

Begging

Begging is the reagent skill, and the only harvesting skill with a social cost. Every plea spends a little of the goodwill a town holds toward you, and a town that has had enough will throw you out until its patience recovers. It is the cheapest route to reagents in the game, paid for in dignity rather than gold.

How you train it Start Begging in a town with a mage vendor. Unlike the other gathering skills every reagent is available from the very first point of skill — what climbs is how much you get per plea, not what you can ask for.

What you need A town with a mage vendor, and regional karma above the kick-out threshold.

Each plea costs a little of the town's patience. Spend it all and you are thrown out until it recovers — beg across several towns to keep any one of them from tiring of you.
