Usage

Elder's Double Bladed StaffElder's Double Bladed Staff

CartwheelCartwheel — Use this to both do damage and reposition when you fight mobs but keep in mind that it will also push the mob away and interrupt any skill casting. When defending against players, getting attacked while you use this increases your defenses and your movement speed for a short bit of time!

Stun RunStun Run — This skill acts as a great way to increase your movement speed and you can use the skill to also stun the first enemy you attack after casting this skill. It helps quite a bit when dealing with mobs but be careful when using this against players as it will put you into combat and stop you from zoning out if you are close to a gate.

Soaring SwipeSoaring Swipe — Use the skill to get away and out of PurgePurge range if you get dismounted by a player, it remains one of the top skills for mobility but the damage isn't very high even though you can still use this to kill mobs.

Life LeechLife Leech — The lifesteal is nice for when you are dealing with mobs, helping a bit with keeping your HP up as there aren't other good options.


Elder's Quarrier GarbElder's Quarrier Garb

AmbushAmbush — Even though FlowFlow isn't a bad alternative, you should still use AmbushAmbush as it offers you more versatility when dealing with enemies. Keep in mind that a circle appears when you use this skill and reaching the edge of the circle will turn you visible, that is where you want to use Invisibility PotionInvisibility Potion.

Quarrying SkillsQuarrying Skills — Just like the other passives on the Quarrier Set, this increases your gathering yield, improving the amount of resources you gather and also increasing the gathering fame you get.


Elder's Quarrier CapElder's Quarrier Cap

BlockBlock — Use this to bait enemies into wasting their cooldowns on you. Gankers will usually try to PurgePurge and CC you first thing they do once you are dismounted. You can use this to block all damage and move away so you can have an easier time using Soaring SwipeSoaring Swipe.

Quarrying SkillsQuarrying Skills — This passive increases your gathering yield and its the only choice, keep in mind that it stacks up to 10 times so wait a bit after you equip it so you can make use of the full buff.


Elder's Quarrier WorkbootsElder's Quarrier Workboots

Motivating PainMotivating Pain — This is a great run as it can be boosted to become ridiculous. While it only starts at 50% movement speed increase, the buff can be stacked up to 3 more times if you take any sort of damage while the buff is active! While you shouldn't rely on taking damage to buff yourself up, it is a welcomed benefit of using this run over Rejuvenating SprintRejuvenating Sprint.

Quarrying SkillsQuarrying Skills — This is another passive increasing your gathering yield and there aren't any other options which makes it the only choice.


Elder's Undead CapeElder's Undead Cape

VanisherVanisher — This cape automatically activates and makes you invisible if you hit 15% HP. This invisibility lasts a few seconds and is usually enough to help you get away and have a second chance at surviving a gank.

You can also use a Elder's Fort Sterling CapeElder's Fort Sterling Cape, especially if you are travelling as it will cleanse one CC from you even when you are mounted. Another option is the Elder's Quarrier BackpackElder's Quarrier Backpack as it decreases the weight of stone in your backpack but doesn't offer other benefits. Its preferred to use a Elder's Quarrier BackpackElder's Quarrier Backpack when you are gathering in a safe zone though as the weight decrease is very useful if you don't have to worry about gankers.


Best Mounts for Gathering

Saddled Swamp SalamanderSaddled Swamp Salamander

This is the top choice for gathering as the Salamander is relatively cheap while being a very difficult to catch mob. Couple its high HP with the fact that the Saddled Swamp SalamanderSaddled Swamp Salamander maintains the same movement speed regardless if you get attacked, it is impossible to slow down unlike other mounts that lose gallop speed when attacked.

Journeyman's Transport OxJourneyman's Transport Ox

This is the mount you want to use as a beginner when you are leveling your gathering skill in royal zones and non-pvp places. This will help you gather for a while without running out of weight, helping a lot as you won't have to go back to town to deposit. You can use a higher tier ox as well but a Journeyman's Transport OxJourneyman's Transport Ox normally does the trick.

SwiftclawSwiftclaw

This mount doesn't have an extra weight which makes it easy for you to tell how much weight you have and know when you would be overweight if you get dismounted. It is also rather fast and cheap but is rather squishy.

Expert's WarhorseExpert's Warhorse

Just like the SwiftclawSwiftclaw this mount doesn't add extra weight, helping you tell just how much you can carry before you grow overweight. However, this mount also has high HP and actually has its own armor, magical resistance and CC resistance values which helps a lot with its tankiness. It is often overlooked but it offers the same speed as a t5 horse with increased tankiness.

Motivating Pain
  • This rotation focuses on getting away from gankers safely without using your Motivating PainMotivating Pain and risking it being purged. Start with using BlockBlock to reposition once you are dismounted and possibly bait some enemy skills before using Soaring SwipeSoaring Swipe to get out of PurgePurge range. Follow up with CartwheelCartwheel and Stun RunStun Run to move further away and boost your movement speed before using AmbushAmbush in order to either change directions or simply confuse your enemy and put more distance between yourself and them. Pop your Invisibility PotionInvisibility Potion after to get even further away before using Motivating PainMotivating Pain and mounting up again.


Consumables

Invisibility PotionInvisibility Potion — This potion turns you invisible and is a great choice for getting away from enemies, especially if you pair it with VanisherVanisher or even AmbushAmbush.

Pork PiePork Pie — This is the only good choice for a gatherer as it increases your gathering yield which is perfect. Maximizing yield also increases the gathering fame you get from every flower you gather.
