**Finding Logs
**To gather logs you must first find harvestable trees. This can be done with use of the World > Resources screen, visit this screen then click the log button on the right of the screen to have it display a list of log resources in the immediate area you have enough skill to gather.
If nothing shows up try using the white arrow buttons to move the displayed area around, if you have recently learnt the skill or your skill is not very high you may find you have to recall back to Springlade (31, 59) and then use the screen so that you find the lowest skill requirement logs there are.
Once you have found a log resource on the resources screen click on it to travel to its location. The log will show up in the bottom right corner of the game window.
Formula
Skill Required = (Resource Material Level * 5)
i.e. To gather a level 5 log you need 25 skill (5 * 5).
There are no skill gains from using the World > Resources screen, the skill gains for this skill come from the act of chopping which is explained later on.
Chopping the trees
To chop the trees on a tile, click on the log icon that is visible in the bottom right corner of the game window. If you do not see a log icon you are either in the wrong spot or the log has not yet respawned.
As with all of the gathering skills you will need a tool, in this case a hatchet or axe, if you do not have any suitable tool you will be shown a screen which lists all of the tools that can be used to fulfill the requirement.
Once you meet the requirements you can try again and it will take you straight to the actual gathering screen.
The gathering screen contains relevant information relating to the resource you are trying to gather. Such as:
There are two buttons below this information.
Both buttons give experience and both buttons use the queue system. It is recommended you use the first button unless you are in a hurry and need resources over skill gains and experience.
Use the Inventory > Queue screen to receive your resource and experience when the time is up.
Once all the resources have been used up it will take up to five minutes for them to respawn again.
