Gather spot

Gathering in Dragon's Dogma is the act of collecting raw materials or items from objects found in the environment.

The places from which objects can be collected are oft known as Gather Spots.

Overview
A gatherable object is indicated by a slight glow or shimmer on the object - approach such an object and gather to collect items.

There are no special tools required to gather, unlike mining from Ore deposits; gathering from fish pools (fishing) is a special case of gathering, but is done in much the same way.

There are several items that can be gathered from including fallen logs, bags and sacks, and odd corners here and there. In general several objects can be gathered from a single object, and pawns will also gather if unoccupied. Once an object has been gathered from it will be a few days before items can be got from it again.

Gather spots

 * Fallen trees and logs usually yield Kindling, or branches such as Pine Branchs.
 * Bags and sacks may yield different types of cloth, such as Absorbent Rags, as well as potions and drinks, like Harspud Sauce.
 * Refuse piles can sometimes be gathered from, or dusty corners may sometimes give up tufts of hair or other useless items.
 * Piles of weapons or old armor are oft found - usually marked by a rusty sword - they can yield old soldier's kit including rusted weapons, banners, or more general items - they are also known as Weapon/Armor Piles.
