Speed.

[vAnathema]

Why does skill level not affect the speed of foraging like all the other tradeskills? It's kind of odd knowing that it's quicker to butcher something than it is to harvest. ~.~

pls fyx pls

something that was done long time ago in EQ2 was that they gave a certain craft the ability to make tools. these tools were used in gathering and ranged from your typical noob stuff with barely any reduction whatsoever, to your high level stuff that decreased the time by a significant amount.

it would work much like this:
[item]
Pick
use:
Reduces cast time of mining by x
this buff lasts for 24hrs and persists through death.

however, i agree that it was interesting how fast the skills complete tbh. i can tell you butchering in the sense they have it (to gain leather), takes a significant amount more time then picking plants. likewise, mining is another that takes a long time.

id like to see all them normalized in time really. they can all be like 2-2.5s casts. instead of some being faster then others. then items like the one above that give a buff could be used to reduce the time.
