The Node Knows - Which What is Where

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

If you still need a list of resources that were removed with the harvesting tables with GU24 (including crafted loams and such), and what they can be used to replace in current reccipes, try the

The Basics

Resources are split into tiers that match adventuring/tradeskilling tiers. Each tier will have its own unique resources and rares that can only be used for recipes contained within that tier. (Details on the varying uses of harvested rares can be found here.)

Which What?

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

Names on the nodes will vary from zone to zone, so I'll use more generic names here, to make it a bit easier. Ore nodes carry the metals for smithing as well as the loams for fighter combat arts and use the mining skill. Gem or stone nodes carry the metals and gems used for jewelcraft and also use the mining skill. Roots refer to the roots, tubers and other fibers that are used as a base for almost everything will use the gathering skill, as will the shrubs and gardens for cooking. 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.

Notes:

**Loam/Imbue: due to various patches, the rare/common loams of a tier share a distinct color to make it easier to tell at a glance which tier of loams you have. Imbue materials were made consistent, so that you harvest just "___ material" instead of the old imbue stones, teeth, flowers, etc. Old imbue items can still be used, but only the material now drops off any node in the tier.
***Meat in Tier 8 is used differently than previous tiers. Meats are only found as a drop off appropriate creatures, but they are also only used in special faction-purchased recipes. Den nodes in T8 only provide pelts. The meats for T8 are: brute flesh, devourer meat, hornet meat, drachnid meat and mountain giant meat.
^heritage quest harvests: blue-silver sheet (ore), perfectly cut purple geode (stone), a perfect osseous lumber (wood), a strip of supple leather (den). Used in the Draco Mortuus vos Liberatio heritage quest. Click the link above for more details.
# Minimum skill for T7 harvesting was originally 290, then dropped to 250 to make skillups easier for those who did not have the DoF expansion, but did have KoS. Also, Loping Plains and the Bonemire were further reduced to a minimum 240 skill.
^^Requires that you have the collapsible fishing pole equipped, and be very close to (sometimes swimming in) the lava in Jarsath Wastes in order to attempt to catch it.
!!Meat in tier 9 is mob dropped. It makes both handcrafted recipes (health and power food and drink) as well as faction based infusions and reductions.
!!!No loam in tier 9. Ulteran diamond is the spell rare for scouts and priests, kaborite cluster is the spell rare for fighters and mages
