Crafting

The Forester involves himself primarily with the gathering of wood. Searching the wilderness, they use their sturdy axes to cut and collect a variety of different materials. These woods, such as Rowan, Lebethron and the rare but prized Black Ash, are then treated and shaped into usable sections for other crafters.

Quests

  1. A Love of the Forest, Part One (10) - Unlocks Journeyman
  2. A Love of the Forest, Part Two<s> (20) - Unlocks Expert
  3. A Love of the Forest, Part Three<s> (30) - Unlocks Artisan
  4. A Love of the Forest, Part Four<s> (40) - Unlocks Master
  5. A Love of the Forest, Part Five<s> (50) - Unlocks Supreme, available from a Master Craftsman in Esteldin, Michel Delving, Thorin's Hall or Rivendell
    • Actually, you get the Supreme unlock automatically but the quest is still available... it just does not actually do anything for you. What's more, you can do it over and over and over and it still does nothing.

Leather is made from Hides. Hides are common drops from all Beast mobs (bears, wolves, boars, mooses, cats, etc) in the zones and areas noted in the following table. There may be the occasional drop from a mob outside the areas noted but those are the exception, not the rule. Hides do NOT drop from anything even remotely humanoid. Wood is a ground-spawn resource that you harvest. Wood nodes can be almost anywhere but will tend to be more common in areas that are heavily forested.
