Gathering Mastery Buffs Chart

Gathering Mastery starts early on with unnoticeable benefits, but increases every 50 levels.

Gathering Mastery can greatly increase common materials obtained, but also has effect on rare and special items.

Gathering Resource Categories:

• Basic Resource: white grade gathered resources like hide, timber, sap, ore, blood, etc.
• Special Resource: low drop chance items like Trace of Nature, Old Tree Bark, Laila’s Petal, Deep Blue Hoof Root, Fire Horn, Fairy Powder, Fruit of Nature, and Powder of Flame.
• Rare Resource: more common enhancement materials like Ancient Spirit Dust and Black Gem Fragments.
• Very Rare Resource: the rarest of enhancement materials like Caphras Stone and Hard/Sharp Shards.
• Event Resource: a rare event occurs and the ground changes to alert you. Starlight Veins or Buried Trace appear depending upon Gathering Mastery level.

Gathering Mastery with Hedgehog

Gathering Mastery is seperate from Hedgehog’s extra gather. Players with high Gathering Mastery report getting procs of 4, 6, 9, or 12 blood with an additional Hedgehog proc of 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Gathering Mastery Gear

There are many items you can obtain that will buff your Gathering Mastery or Life Mastery level. Manos gear is the best, but also extremely expensive to enhance.

• Loggia Gear  (sold by Camellia Loggia <Seed Vendor> for 1 million Silver at Loggia Farm)
• Geranoa/Dostter Gear (sold by the <Material Vendor> Geranoa in Calpheon City for 10 million Silver)
• Manos Gear (Processing > Manufacture of rare ingredients.)

Gathering Mastery Clothes

Manos Gathering Mastery Clothes are the best option, because they have the best stats.

Unfortunately, no Gathering Mastery clothes give Gathering Exp. That’s why you should use Silver Embroidered Clothes until surpassing 650 Gathering Mastery.

Gathering Mastery is very important to the Gathering Life Skill because it can increase drops up to 400%.

	Gathering Clothes	Gathering Buffs	Obtained By
	Loggia Gatherer’s Clothes (up to +20 enhancement)	DP: 6 to 264 Gathering Mastery +3 to +280 Movement Speed +1 to +2	1 mil silver at Camellia Loggia or Zaaira
	Carta Gatherer’s Clothes (up to +20 enhancement)	DP: 11 to 269 Gathering Mastery +4 to +330 Movement Speed +1 to +2	10 mil silver at Geranoa and Zaaira
	Manos Gatherer’s Clothes (up to +20 enhancement)	DP: 21 to 279 Gathering Mastery +5 to +400 Movement Speed +1 to +3	Processing (L) > Manufacture  30x Moonlight Opal  5x Manos Stone  50x Magical Shard  15x Dusk Laden Cotton Fabric

Gathering Mastery Clothes use armor, gloves, shoes, and helmet slots, but it’s mostly safe because they have DP! 🙂

BDO Gathering Mastery Patch Notes

Patch notes are copied from the official news page.

• Gathering Mastery system was added.
  • Separate from the existing Gathering level, Gathering Mastery is a different value measuring the degree of your Gathering skill.
  • You receive higher gathering chance and number of items gathered with higher Gathering Mastery. Its effects are as below.

• Basic gathering items are those you gather with basic tools, such as wood, ore, and sap.
• Rare gathering items are rare items such as Black Crystal Shard and Caphras Stone used for enhancement.
• Special gathering items are items other than Basic and Rare items you can get at a very low chance. This includes such items like Intact Insect Amber, Old Tree Bark, Laila’s Petal, Deep Blue Hoof Root, etc.

• As your basic Gathering Mastery is affected by Gathering level, the chance to not consume Energy upon gathering was lowered to 0-30%.
  • Gathering Mastery is in effect for all adventurers that invested their time and energy to level up Gathering. This means everyone will be able to get the added items and receive the benefits of Gathering Mastery. However, the effects of +60% chance of not consuming energy while gathering at Gathering level Master 1 was deemed to be too profitable so this effect was limited to +30%.
  • This results in less time spent gathering but increased the amount of materials gathered. This in turn increases the overall profitability of gathering.

• New Life Skill items which can be conveniently purchased through NPC shops were added.
  • Loggia Fisher’s Clothes
