Tracking Nodes

In some gathering trades (Foresting&Prospecting), there are abilities that you can use to help find the nodes you need. Foresterst get 'Track Wood' and Prospectors get 'Track Mines'. These skills let you see nodes on your minimap from a distance away.

The nodes appear on your map as a blue icon if they are further away from you, as you get closer it changes into an icon, and when you put your cursor over it, it tells you what type of node it is (e.g. Rowan Wood/Bountiful Iron Mine etc.).

But remember to mine/forest these you need your crafting tool (Pick/Axe). You dont gain any crafting experience for gathering the produce but then you can go to a crafting station and make something out of it (e.g. Treating it/ Boiling it etc.).
