Energy Harnessing

Energy Harnessing is a gathering skill that allows a character to gather crafting materials from coalesced magic around the world. Energy Harnessing gives materials called Essences. Essences are used for Alchemy, Smelting, Processing and Etching.

To gather from an energy node you need to get near it and press the interact key (Default: F). This starts an animation that can be stopped by taking damage, moving or performing a skill. Gathering from any node costs 10 PP. Gathering a node will give you 3-5 of the respective item for that node.

All six energy nodes have a chance of giving the player along with the normal material acquired from the node. You also have a chance of receiving when harnessing any of the other five nodes. Note: can not be bought, sold, or traded. Therefore you must gather it for your own use.

Energy exists in six tiers. There is no level restriction on gathering, so players of any energy harnessing level may harness any energy. However, your harnessing speed is determined by your harnessing level. If you want to harness energy faster, consider investing in a Crude Extractor, Low Quality Extractor, Speedy Gathering Tool or eating Pickled Verida Root.
