Progression

Gathering map

Where gems and ingredients keep coming back. Each of 7 kingdoms, Verdantglade, Cinder Ridge, Aqualis, Loong Haven, Aethyris, Harpadia and Ignis, refills three ingredients of its own, and Loong Haven, Aethyris, Harpadia and Ignis also refill Gem Mines. Pick a kingdom, switch each kind on or off, and tap an area to focus on it. By grid shows where the spots bunch up, and full screen helps you plan a route.

Spawn rules

• Gem: every 30 min, 5 a day. Gem Mines come back 21–39 min apart in each area, up to 50 on the kingdom at once (10 when it opens). They count toward the Daily Gem Gathering Limit.
• Rare: every 5 min, 20 a day. Rare ingredients come back 4–7 min apart in each area, up to 36 on the kingdom at once (7 when it opens). They count toward the Daily Rare Plant Gathering Limit.
• Epic: every 12 min, 10 a day. Epic ingredients come back 8–16 min apart in each area, up to 15 on the kingdom at once (5 when it opens). They count toward the Daily Epic Plant Gathering Limit.
• Legendary: every 1 h, 5 a day. Legendary ingredients come back 42–78 min apart in each area, up to 3 on the kingdom at once (1 when it opens). They count toward the Daily Legendary Plant Gathering Limit.
• Near the marked spots, not on them. The tinted zones are the ones that hold a spot of the kind you have on. A zone holds at most as many as it has spots, but a new one can turn up anywhere inside it. In the game we found a Mine 11 steps from its zone’s only marked spot, on open ground. Every wait above varies by up to 30% either way.
• Shared with other players. Everyone on your map gathers from the same ones, so a spot you pass may be empty. When we looked, one Mine stood on the whole of Loong Haven.
• What they are for. Rare ingredients go into Rare dishes that temporarily boost stats. Epic and Legendary ingredients go into dishes that permanently boost stats. The Cookbook lists every dish.

A spot may hold something else the first time you pass: a monster, a chest, or a bigger gem. The map’s tooltip says what. For gem spots:

Gems and ingredients elsewhere (on Whaleback, in the season maps, and away from these spots) are one-time pickups that you take on the way through. Green Grains and the other common greens grow everywhere on a quick timer of their own, so they are not on this map either.
