During your time playing Aion you will need to collect a few things. This can be for missions, crafting or sometimes even both. There are a few things to know about the process and ways of collecting the items you will need.
Collection
Node (Node) A Collection Node can be many things in the environment; including plants, animals, and minerals. You can tell a lot about a Node by moving your cursor over it. Names that appear in grey mean that you have enough skill to collect the item, but you will not gain any skill from successfully collecting its material. Names in yellow will provide you with both skill and material when successfully collected. Red means that you do not have the skill to collect this item. Besides the names alone, your cursor will change if you can or can not collect from this Node.
Skill
Just because the item can be collected does not mean that you will gain skill doing so. Every time you collect materials from a Node, you will gain small amounts of Collecting Skill if you’re at the appropriate level (if the Node is grey, you will not gain any skill at all). This will build up until your Collecting Skill increases by a point. You can check your Collection Skill from the Skills Window (K).
Gathering Meter
With either Collecting or Extracting, there is some risk that you the gathering will fail. Once you begin gathering, a meter will open. It shows what you are attempting to extract form the Node, your current extraction level, and two bars. The two bars are marked Pass and Fail. If your Pass Bar fills before the Fail Bar, then you have successfully gathered the material. If you Fail then you have not collected anything and must try again. You may notice radical spikes in the progress of the Pass or Fail as each bar slowly moves toward being full.
Collecting
As a Human, before you Ascend and become a Daeva, you will scrounge in the dirt to dig up the things you need. This is called Collecting. To Collect, approach the item you wish to collect, and Right-click on it. Once you begin collecting the Gathering Meter will begin. At this point you will only be able to have a collection skill up to 49. This means you can continue to gain Collection Skill Points up to but not over 49.
Extracting
Once you have Ascended to the rank of Daeva, there is no longer a need to root around in the ground like an animal. You will now Extract the very essence of material. You will gain two new Extract Skill types for you to work on: Lesser Extract Vitality and Lesser Extract Aether. You will Extract Vitality from Nodes, very similar to Collecting. You can use Extract Aether to gather Aether from the skies and use it to Morph substances that you may need later. Just like collecting, these skills have a cap. Once you make it to 99, you will need to learn how to extract higher level items by visiting a Master Craftsman.
