Albion Online Gathering Sets Guide

Engaging in gathering activities within the open world may not be synonymous with combat, but it certainly entails confronting inherent dangers. Whether facing enchanted direwolves or delving into bandit-infested territories in search of premium resources, your gear and skills become pivotal factors determining whether you return triumphant with a backpack full of treasures or hastily retreat in nothing but your underwear. Each gathering profession Harvester, Lumberjack, Miner, Quarrier, and Skinner comes equipped with specialized gear, featuring an array of spells designed to enhance their efficiency in their chosen field.

The primary focus of these gathering gear sets lies in ensuring survivability and providing a means of escape, all while offering passive bonuses to amplify your gathering yield. Unlike conventional combat armors that require accumulating kill fame from mobs to level up, gathering gear seamlessly levels up alongside your chosen gathering tool. This unique progression system allows you to bypass extensive dungeon runs, empowering you to dedicate more time to advancing your proficiency in your preferred gathering profession.

In essence, the synergy between your chosen gathering gear and skills becomes the linchpin for a successful venture into the wilderness, ensuring that you not only survive encounters with formidable foes but also optimize your resource collection efforts. So, equip yourself wisely, hone your skills, and embark on a journey where the fruits of your labor are measured not just in combat victories but in the bountiful harvests you bring home.

Overview of Gathering Sets

Each gathering gear set comprises four essential items: a Cap, Garb, Workboots, and Backpack. These items are unlocked concurrently with the respective gathering tool through the gatherer line on the Destiny Board, starting from Tier 4. For instance, to access the Tier 5 Lumberjack set, you must first unlock the Expert (Tier 5) Lumberjack node. Your proficiency with the tiered tool directly influences your mastery of the gear, emphasizing the importance of continuous gathering to enhance your gear's item power.

The Backpack, designed to occupy the cape slot, boasts a passive ability that reduces the weight of the corresponding resource by 30%, significantly enhancing your carrying capacity for resources.

The Cap, Garb, and Workboots each feature a passive spell tailored to augment gathering yield for their respective resource type. Equipping these items increases your chances of obtaining extra resources while out gathering, with the bonus gathering yield scaling up with each tier.

Upon equipping an entire set, your gathering yield receives a substantial boost, with the increase varying according to the tier:

- Tier 4: 10% increased gathering yield
- Tier 5: 20% increased gathering yield
- Tier 6: 30% increased gathering yield
- Tier 7: 50% increased gathering yield
- Tier 8: 70% increased gathering yield

Additionally, the Cap, Garb, and Workboots each offer a set of basic active spells along with one unique active spell to choose from:
