Online:Nodes

Nodes are found throughout the world and can be harvested for crafting. They come in several forms, including plants, ore veins, logs, and runestones.

All nodes scale to either the level of your crafting passives, or your character level. Before Update 12, some zones had static or partially-static node tiers instead, corresponding to the level of the content.

Certain zones offer a chance to obtain additional rare crafting materials when harvesting a node there. These are listed in the table below:

Zone	Material
Craglorn	Fortified Nirncrux, Potent Nirncrux
Gold Coast	Grain of Pearl Sand
Hew's Bane	Rogue's Soot
Vvardenfell	Viridian Dust
Wrothgar	Cassiterite Sand
Alik'r Desert, Auridon, Bal Foyen, Bangkorai, Betnikh, Bleakrock Isle, Coldharbour, Cyrodiil, Deshaan, Eastmarch, Glenumbra, Grahtwood, Greenshade, Khenarthi's Roost, Malabal Tor, Reaper's March, The Rift, Rivenspire, Shadowfen, Stonefalls, Stormhaven, Stros M'Kai	Aetherial Dust

The above table also applies to enemies that drop leather (i.e. medium armor clothing materials).

Plants

Plants yield reagents for Alchemy, raw materials such as jute for the clothing profession, and bait for fishing. In Shadowfen, these nodes also have a chance to drop the Tide-Glass Beads antiquity lead for the Harpooner's Wading Kilt.

Giant Clams are unique alchemy nodes that have a chance of spawning near the ocean on Summerset and High Isle. They have can contain poison solvents, pearl furnishings, fishing bait, Clam Gall, and Powdered Mother of Pearl.

Psijic Portals contain a variety of valuable loot. They appear in the same locations where Runestone nodes are typically found, near old ruins and burial sites.

Psijic Portals are initially invisible, but can be revealed by unlocking the Psijic Order skill line by completing The Psijics' Calling.

In Artaeum and Summerset, psijic portals have a chance to drop the Sticky Integument Leather antiquity lead for the Thrassian Stranglers.

Skill Perks

Keen Eye (on Corn Flower plant)

There are two types of abilities that help with gathering. Both are passive.

Keen Eye abilities make materials easier to spot out in the world. There is a Keen Eye ability for every profession except Provisioning.

Hireling abilities make a hireling go out and gather materials for you once a day (or twice with enough skill points invested). Alchemists have no such hireling.
