* Has a delay of 60 seconds before they become available for a player upon activating Harvest Aspect Armor

===Chance at 2x Yield/Loot for Harvest or Chests===
* Provides a chance for harvesting attempts to yield double resources, allowing players to harvest more materials from [[Resource Map
|resource maps]] then the amount listed.
* It provides a chance for [[Dungeon Chests|dungeon]] or [[Treasure Mapping|treasure chests]] to have their loot doubled upon opening, [[paragon]] chests are not effected by this. Whenever the player doubles something a visual and sound effect will occur, unless the player is hidden.
* Has a delay of 60 seconds before they become available for a player upon activating Harvest Aspect Armor

==Harvest Aspect Experience==

Lumberjacking

2025-12-09T00:41:33Z

Elderstone: /* Harvesting Colored Logs */

[[Category:Skills]][[Category:Crafting]]
==Description==
* The Lumberjacking skill allows players to use a hatchet to chop trees and harvest logs. Players can double-click logs to convert them into boards. Boards are a valuable resource used by Carpenters and other crafting professions.

==Summary==
Players can harvest logs using a Hatchet. Lumberjacking always uses [[Smart Harvest]], by double clicking the hatchet you have equipped you automatically attempt to harvest all nearby trees. There is a random chance to harvest colored logs if the player meets the material's skill requirement.

* Lumberjacking within town regions is blocked, except for Shelter Island with a young player status.
* Trees are randomized when they respawn and have a chance to uncover colored logs
* Colored hatchets increase the chance to chop logs successfully
* The chance for a tree to be of a rarer color is not affected by outside parameters
* If you don't have the required skill to harvest the log color of the current tree, you will find the highest color or you can harvest instead
* Whenever a player Recalls, Travels via Moongate, or Hikes, they will have a 60 second delay before they can attempt to Harvest again
** Same applies after teleporting or using an Adventurer's Rope

[[File:harvesting-lumberjacking2.gif|link=]]

At 100.0 to 119.9 only an attempt that successfully harvests a colored log type will have a chance to increase your lumberjacking skill, this applies also to lumberjacking maps, which can be helpful since you will harvest that color on every attempt. You need not harvest higher colors progressively(dullwood, then shadowwood, the copperwood, etc) to get to 120. Dullwood lumber maps can be used to go from 100 all the way to 120.

Mining

2025-12-09T00:40:59Z

Elderstone: /* Harvesting Colored Ore */

[[Category:Skills]][[Category:Crafting]]
==Description==
* The Mining skill allows players to use a pickaxe to harvest ore from the sides of mountains and the floors of caves. Ore can then be smelted into ingots using forges found in towns, caves, or player houses. Ingots are a valuable resource used by Blacksmiths and Tinkerers.

==Summary==
Players can harvest Ore using a Pickaxe. Mining always uses [[Smart Harvest]], by double clicking a pickaxe you automatically try to harvest all nearby nodes. There is a random chance to harvest colored ore if the player meets the material's skill requirement.

* Mining within town regions is blocked, except for Shelter Island with a young player status.
* Nodes are randomized when they respawn and have a chance to uncover colored ore
* Colored pickaxes increase the chance to mine ore successfully
* The chance for a node to be of a rarer color is not affected by other parameters
* If a player doesn't have the required effective skill to mine the ore color of the current node, each swing will default to Iron Ore instead
* A player's effective Mining skill adds their raw skill level, Harvest Aspect bonus (when activated on armor), and any Effective Harvesting Skill chain links
* When mining a colored ore node, each swing has a 50% chance to fallback to Iron Ore
* Whenever a player Recalls, Travels via Moongate, or Hikes, they will have a 60 second delay before they can attempt to Harvest again
** Same applies after teleporting or using an Adventurer's Rope
* Players will experience a "Stationary Penalty" after recalling or periods of inactivity that will prevent them from mining until they move more than 5 steps

Forensic Evaluation

2025-12-06T12:14:49Z

Elderstone: /* Harvesting Colored Leather */

[[Category:Skills]]
==Description==
* The Forensic Evaluation skill allows players to use a skinning knife on corpses to acquire leather and meat. Leather is primarily used by Tailors for crafting armor while meat is used by the Cooking skill to craft food and meals. Forensic Evaluation also provides a bonus to melee and spell damage, as well as increasing a player's effective Barding skills.

==Summary==
* Players can harvest Leather using a Skinning Knife and have a chance to carve colored leather from corpses
* Players will always receive their bonuses to Damage and Barding skill from the Forensic Eval skill even if they have not Skinned Creatures recently
* Players can use Forensic Evaluation or a Skinning Knife and target themselves or the ground nearby to activate "Smart Harvest" which will carve all "grey" notoriety corpses within 2 tiles
* Carving a creature corpse will automatically open the corpse for the player
* You can use Forensic Evaluation on yourself in order to harvest the closest body
* Players have a chance to carve colored leather from corpses and all leather colors are possible on any creature, provided the player meets the material's skill requirements
* All creatures are carvable for leather and meat, and have a chance of special cooking ingredients, scaled based on the player's Forensic Evaluation skill

==Details==
* Using the Forensic Eval Skill or Skinning Knives to carve a corpse or SmartHarvest nearby corpses is not restricted by Global Skill Cooldowns, and instead the Forensic Eval skill has its own unique cooldown of 0.5 seconds (i.e players using Stealth/Hiding will not be required to wait 10 seconds to carve corpses)
* The amount of leather and meat when carving corpses is (50% + (150% * (Forensic Evaluation Skill / 100)) of the base amount for the creature
* The chance for a player to harvest colored leather instead of regular leather is (7.5% * (1 + Tool Bonus))
* Paragons and Boss creatures will always have colored leather instead of regular leather
* The skill also provides the following bonus to spell and melee damage in PvM: (25% * (Forensic Evaluation Skill / 100)) and PvP: (10% * (Forensic Evaluation Skill / 100))
** Note: this damage bonus is now passive just by having the skill, you won't see the message shown in the gif below any longer

Resource Maps

2025-10-07T13:06:46Z

Elderstone: /* Overview */

[[Category:Harvesting]][[Category:Crafting]][[Category:New Player]][[Category:PvM]]
==Summary==
* Players have a harvesting skill gain check on each harvest attempt while using a Resource Map (Ore Map, Lumber Map, Fishing Map, Skinning Map)
* Resource Maps are not affected by the 60 second harvesting lockout resulting from Recalling/Gating/Hiking/Moongate travel
* Players can now find Plant Seeds when harvesting from Resource Maps, with resulting rarity levels significantly higher than Plant Seeds discovered while doing "basic" harvesting

[[File:resourcemaps.png|link=]]

==Deciphering a Resource Map==
* Deciphering a Resource Map requires the [[Cartography]] skill and a Spyglass
** Double-click the Spyglass and target the Resource Map
** Spyglasses gain a higher accuracy and success chance when crafted with better quality and materials
* Click the gem to begin Deciphering a map
* Once it has been deciphered, a map with the estimated location will appear

==Completing a Resource Map==
* With a deciphered Resource Map in your backpack, travel to the location with the appropriate gathering tool
* Use the tool and target yourself to begin harvesting
** If you are near the location, a 'camp' will appear
** Use the tool and target yourself again to make a tracking arrow appear which will lead directly to the location
** Harvest away!
* Double click the camp to remove it

[[File:resourcemap-miningupaspot1.gif|link=]]

===Special Loot===
* Players have a chance to loot rare resource-hued items from Resource Maps, such as Verite Lanterns, Valorite Runebook Dyes, Avarite Carpet Dyes, Gold Hair Dyes, etc
* The hue of the rare item will correspond to the specific resource of the map used; players harvesting from Verite Ore Maps/Verewood Lumber Maps/Verehide Skinning maps will potentially get green items (labeled as Verite) whereas players harvesting from Copper/Copperwood/Copperhide maps will get tan-colored maps (labeled as Copper)
* Fishing Maps mirror Ore/Lumber/Skinning Maps in terms of having an assigned material type (such as Dull, Shadow, Copper, Bronze, etc), which is named similarly to those maps except with the word "scale" attached instead of "wood/hide/etc" (such as Dullscale Fishing Map, Shadowscale Fishing Map, Copperscale Fishing Map, etc)

[[File:resourcedyes.png|link=]]

===Fishing Maps===
* Players making Fishing attempts from Fishing Maps have a 20% chance on harvest to loot 5-10 of a randomized resource (Ore/Logs/Leather) that matches the Fishing Map's material type (i.e. Shadowscale Fishing Map would result in randomized selection between Shadow Iron Ore, Shadowwood Logs, and Shadowhide Leather)
* Rare Loot Drops that occur for a Fishing Map (such as Backpack Dyes, Hair Dyes, etc) will now match their hue to the material of the Fishing Map being used (i.e. a player might find a Shadow Backpack Dye from a Shadowscale Fishing Map)
* Harvesting animation speed is increased for Fishing Maps and harvest completion has a reduced wait time of 3 seconds

===Losing Young Player Status===
Players will lose Young Player Status if any of the following events occur:

* The player leaves Shelter Island by any means
* The player says "I renounce my young player status"

Once a player has lost Young Player status, he/she will not be able to interact with Shelter Island NPCs. However, players can still return to Shelter Island and make use of New Player Dungeon for skills training.

===Training Hall===
* Attack the Battle Trainers to gain Stats and Skills. Use Tab to enter War mode and double click to attack.

===Shelter Island Moongate===
Due to the fact that players cannot perform Harmful Actions (including Stealing) on other players while on Shelter Island, makes the Moongate here an ideal location for trading and socializing. It might look daunting and loud, but you will find many interesting players and vendor gates in this area.

===New Player Quests===

==Leaving Shelter Island - Now What?==
Upon leaving Shelter Island, your true journey in Outlands begins... there is an entire world to explore, experience to be gained, gold to be found, and rare loot to be collected. It is difficult to recommend a specific path, as there are various paths to making gold and progressing your character. Definitely explore the world, ask questions in Discord, browse guides and videos created by the many content creators in our community.

First thing you should do after leaving Shelter Island -- turn off criminal looting! (say "[PreventCriminalLooting"). Criminal actions were not allowed in New Player Dungeon, so this wasn't a problem. Off the island, however, looting others' corpses (intentionally or accidentally) will turn you grey and players may kill you for it without penalty. Don't go grey!

For those who thrill for adventure, to slay monsters, to seek fortune and continue to level their combat skills, check out the [[Prevalia Sewers]] 

Before heading out to explore and farm gold, you may also want to continue training your skills to Grandmaster (aka GM, or 100). You have several options here:
* Prevalia Moongate has a public training dummy
* Outpost Moongate has a public training dummy
* Anchor's Rest Moongate has a public training dummy
* East Prevalia has a zoo
* If you join a guild, most have private training dummies at their guild house

If you decide to use one of the public options, pick up a training weapon and be sure to bank anything you don't want to lose. Some PKs may decide to prey on AFK macroers at these dummies.

If you are looking to raise other non-weapon skills, you can record a macro and AFK at one of these locations. The Discord server has a #scripts-and-macros channel, and [https://www.youtube.com/c/Jaseowns Jaseowns] has a YouTube channel and GitHub page for all sorts of skills training scripts if you need help.

===Player Progression Systems===
There are many unique new systems on Outlands. These systems are meant as long terms goals to progress your characters effectiveness in the world. Use the links below to explore these systems in order to effectively plan character development.

{{Player Progression}}

{{#ev:youtube|https://youtu.be/fDDoGsDO_tI?list=PLsFoq0ehEvywXD53SVBgHnOs_6BV-3ZUR}}

===Prepare for PK Attacks & Thieves===
Outlands is a bustling and open world where you will meet many players, some friendly and others not so much. Once off Shelter Island, players are able to freely attack or steal from another player (almost anywhere) but similar to real life, there may be consequences for your actions.

* When in a guard zone, if someone attacks you, you can say '''"Guards"''' and the criminal will be killed by the guards
* When in a guard zone, if someone steals from you, you can say '''"Guards"''' and the criminal may be killed by the guards if they were noticed see [[Stealing#Being_Noticed|Being Noticed]] for more details
* If another player slays you, you can report them as a Murderer and if that receives enough murder counts, they will "go red" and incur Murderer Penalties upon death

There are many solutions to prevent yourself from being easy prey to PKs, thieves, and griefers, such as:

* Basic Survival Tools
** Locked Box - Keeping items inside of a locked box in your bag will protect those items from stealing as long as it remains locked.
** Trapped Pouches - if a PK uses Paralyze, opening a Trapped Pouch will do 1 damage to you and free you from Paralyze. Additionally, thieves snooping a Trapped Pouch that is not empty will trigger the explosion, giving you notice of their presence.
** Heal/Cure/Refresh Potions
** [[Adventurer's Rope]] - allows a player to teleport
* Bank early and often
* Travel with friends / join a guild
** Guilds are a great way to establish connections and participate in high-end content for rare loot
* Passive [[Tracking]] - Hostiles

===Exploring Outlands===
[[File:Outpost_Moongate_Rune_Library.png|200px|thumb|right|Highlighting the public rune library at Outpost moongate]]
Aside from running to dungeons from towns, there are many options for getting around and exploring Avadon, and many of them come with specific skills:
* [[Camping]] allows you to hike to locations found in your Atlas. You must first unlock the hiking location by visiting the location and securing a campfire there
* [[Magery]] allows you to use the Recall spell on a rune or a location in a rune book, which will bring you to the location marked to that rune
** Runes can be made by using the Mark spell on a blank rune, which can be purchased from Mage vendors
* [[Chivalry]] provides the Sacred Journey spell, which creates a holy gate that will allow you to travel to Towns, Dungeons, Shrines, and a limited number of custom locations
* Players with none of the skills above can still travel around with rune books and Recall scrolls. You can drag and drop a Recall scroll onto a rune book or tome to add a charge and click on the blue gem beside the location you wish to travel to
** Rune books and tomes can be crafted with [[Inscription]], requiring 10 and 25 Arcane Scrolls, respectively. These can then be blessed with a Bless Deed from the Prevalian Merchant for 50k and 100k gold, respectively
** Public rune book libraries are located around many of the moongates (e.g. Outpost, Andaria). These public books are also helpful for the initial journey to unlock Camping hiking spots
** Recall scrolls can be crafted with an Inscription skill of at least 40, purchased from some player vendors, or, in a pinch, purchased from Mage vendors (at a higher cost)

===Earn Gold===
====Hunting Overworld & Dungeons====
* Explore Points of Interest and Dungeons
** Use [Atlas command to receive a copy of the [[World Atlas|World Atlas]] which has functionality to point you to points of interest and dungeons

====Gathering Resources====
* [[Mining|Mining]]
* [[Lumberjacking|Lumberjacking]]
* [[Forensic_Evaluation|Forensic Evaluation]]
** An alternative method for gaining gold & resources to get started, with very little investment
** You can train hiding/stealth/forensics/camping and other survival skills and pick clean the remains of others kills (leathers, reagents, sometimes gold) in dungeons
** A great way to get started with extremely low investment, especially great for collecting Magery reagents
* You can sell your resources to other players
** a single board will go for around 9-10 gp
** an iron ingot will go for around 12-14 gp
** a plain leather will go for around 3gp
** Coloured resources will vary with demand, but gathering resources is a very solid approach to making some quick money for new players.

====Treasure Hunting====
* [[Dungeon_Chests|Dungeon Chests]] picking is an extremely easy, consistent method for gaining gold, but can be quickly outpaced with mob farming
* [[Treasure_Hunting|Treasure Maps]] are an extremely lucrative method for gaining special/rare items, but are extremly costly to buy into and require a PvM ready character

====Societies====
* Learn about and get into [[Societies|Societies]] as early as you can
* Earn society points for rewards that you can use to sell to other players for big gold boosts, or use yourself to help elevate your PvM game

====Player vs Player (PvP)====
* Hourly PvP events are a great source of income, earn guild rewards while enjoying the fights
** Arena Touranments are extremely lucartive with [[Arena|Arena]] points if you are successful
** [[Stygian Rifts|Stygian Rifts]] mix PvP and PvM together on a 3x3 match.
** [[Corpse Creek|Corpse Creek]] fight mounted in large teams near the lawless Corpse Creek
** [[Town Struggles|Town Struggles]] fight on foot or mounted in large parties at towns
** [[Strangelands|Strangelands]] a solo and anonymous event using pre-selected templates to PvM and PvP.

Resisting Spells

2025-08-19T21:11:33Z

Elderstone: /* Training */

[[Category:Skills]]
==Description==
* The Resisting Spells skill reduces incoming spell damage. Provides a chance for creature-based damage to not interrupt the player's spellcasts. When a player is hit by a spell (including from themselves) they will receive a 'spell siphon' effect that increases their Swing Speed, Mana Refund Chance, and Damage Resistance for the next 60 minutes.

==Summary==
* Spell damage taken is reduced by a minimum of (12.5% * (Magic Resist Skill / 100)) (PvM/PvP)
* Spell damage taken is reduced by a maximum of (37.5% * (Magic Resist Skill / 100)) (PvM/PvP)
* The chance to resist any hostile spell with a non-damaging effect such as Curse or Poison is ((40% - (Spell Circle * 5%)) * (Magic Resist Skill / 100))
* Provides players with a (Effective Magic Resist Skill / 100%)) chance to avoid Spell Interruption from Creature/Environment Damage

==Spell Absorption (PvM)==
* In addition to normal spell damage reduction for Magic Resist, players now have a (25% * (Magic Resist Skill / 100)) chance to Absorb a spell cast by a creature
* Absorbed spells will display with a pink/purple orb effect (similar to parrying)
* An absorbed spell has its damage reduced by 75% (similar to the parrying effect)

==Spell Siphon (PvM)==
* The first time a player is hit by a Spell (from any player/creature) every 5 minutes, they will receive a Spell Siphon effect that applies bonuses against creatures for 60 minutes. (does not stack)
* If a player is hit with further spells while having the Spell Siphon bonus active, the duration will not be renewed.
* Players will receive a "Your spell siphon bonus has expired" notification after 60 minutes have passed.
* The bonuses for having an active Spell Siphon effect are as follows and affect PvM only:

<pre>Swing Speed increased by (10% * (Effective Magic Resist Skill / 100))
Mana Refund Chance increased by (10% * (Effective Magic Resist Skill / 100))
Damage Resistance increased by (10% * (Effective Magic Resist Skill / 100))</Pre>

==Training==
* Resisting Spells can be trained in one of two ways; By casting on yourself or Getting cast on by mobs
** Casting on yourself is much slower then being cast upon by mobs, but can be macroed AFK.
** Note for option 1: Spells must either be cast by yourself (on yourself) or by a friendly Player (same guild / alliance), the skill wont gain otherwise.

* Skill Gain chance is much higher if the spell is cast by a creature
* Note: As of 7/7/25, there are no longer limits on the number of Resisting Spells skill gains you can get from a single creature.

Mining

2025-07-27T21:01:44Z

Elderstone:

[[Category:Skills]][[Category:Crafting]]
==Description==
* The Mining skill allows players to use a pickaxe to harvest ore from the sides of mountains and the floors of caves. Ore can then be smelted into ingots using forges found in towns, caves, or player houses. Ingots are a valuable resource used by Blacksmiths and Tinkerers.

==Summary==
Players can harvest Ore using a Pickaxe. Mining always uses [[Smart Harvest]], by double clicking a pickaxe you automatically try to harvest all nearby nodes. There is a random chance to harvest colored ore if the player meets the material's skill requirement.

* Mining within town regions is blocked, except for Shelter Island with a young player status.
* Nodes are randomized when they respawn and have a chance to uncover colored ore
* Colored pickaxes increase the chance to mine ore successfully
* The chance for a node to be of a rarer color is not affected by other parameters
* If a player doesn't have the required effective skill to mine the ore color of the current node, each swing will default to Iron Ore instead
* A player's effective Mining skill adds their raw skill level, Harvest Aspect bonus (when activated on armor), and any Effective Harvesting Skill chain links
* When mining a colored ore node, each swing has a 50% chance to fallback to Iron Ore
* Whenever a player Recalls, Travels via Moongate, or Hikes, they will have a 60 second delay before they can attempt to Harvest again
** Same applies after teleporting or using an Adventurer's Rope
* Players will experience a "Stationary Penalty" after recalling or periods of inactivity that will prevent them from mining until they move more than 5 steps

==Summary==
* The below templates are a collection of premade templates you can choose to start with when you first step on [[Shelter Island]].

** See our [[Templates#Basic_to_Advanced_Templates|Basic to Advanced Templates]] for other progression options.
* Any decision made now can be changed later, often only taking a bit of time to raise a skill you'd rather take, while lowering a skill you no longer need.
* For the templates below you will be given the opportunity to change to a different one if you don't feel the template is for you while you are still in [[New_Player_Guide#Young_Player_Status|Young Status]].
* New Players have a maximum of 700 skill points available, and a skill cap of 100 skill points. This can be increased through the [[Skill Mastery]] system.

Elderstone: /* Harvester */

==Summary==
* The below templates are a collection of premade templates you can choose to start with when you first step on [[Shelter Island]].
* They are recommended as a guide and quick path to starting your adventure, however you can still choose an Advanced template allowing you to choose each individual skill on your own, and make your own way.
** See our [[Templates#Basic_to_Advanced_Templates|Basic to Advanced Templates]] for other progression options.
* Any decision made now can be changed later, often only taking a bit of time to raise a skill you'd rather take, while lowering a skill you no longer need.
* For the templates below you will be given the opportunity to change to a different one if you don't feel the template is for you while you are still in [[New_Player_Guide#Young_Player_Status|Young Status]].
* New Players have a maximum of 700 skill points available, and a skill cap of 100 skill points. This can be increased through the [[Skill Mastery]] system.
* See the below video to explore more about the Skill Mastery and other Progression Systems like Books, Codex & Kits, and Aspect Mastery systems.
