The Node Knows - Which What is Where

Resources for tradeskills are scattered throughout the lands and it helps to know which what you can find where. If you were not familiar with just how to go about harvesting, I'd recommend reading Mum's Harvesting Guide.

The Basics

Resources needed to make Tier 1 (level 1-9) recipes will be found in Tier 1 zones, with no restrictions on who can harvest them. Tier 2 items (level 10-19) will be found in Tier 2 zones, and will require a minimum of 20 skill in the appropriate harvesting ability. Tier 3 items (level 20-29) will be found in Tier 3 zones, and will require 90 in the proper harvesting skills. Tier 4 needs 140 for your harvesting skills.  Tier 5 requires harvesting skills to be 190 or higher.  Tier 6 requires 240 or higher skills to harvest and also require the Desert of Flames expansion.   Tier 7 requires 250 or higher and also requires the Kingdom of Sky expansion

So, what goes with which tier and node, and how do you know which is the right harvesting skill for that node?

Which What?

Names on the nodes will vary from zone to zone, so I'll use some more generic-type names here, to create a common frame of reference. Ore-type nodes carry the metals for smithing and use the mining skill. Stone-type nodes carry the metals and gems used for jewel craft and also use the mining skill. Roots refer to the roots, tubers and other fibers that are used mainly for tailoring and alchemy and use the gathering skill. Likewise the shrubs and gardens for baking and the fungi and herb gardens for alchemy use gathering. Wood nodes, unsurprisingly, carry the woods and use the foresting skill. Various fish are used in cooking, and use the fishing skill. Dens hold the critter harvests (pelts and meats) and use the trapping skill.

Where?

First, we'll cover the special case of the Queen’s Colony and Outpost of the Overlord, which uses a modified, limited version of the Tier 1 harvest list, and then continue on with the normal nodes/zones. Rares are included in bold italics.
