Harvesting - Minerals
Minerals found on Qinla'Un that can be used for trade or crafting.
To locate minerals in an area, the DC is determined by how abundant they are in the area, and how rare the material is itself. If a character doesn't know the location of a material, it can make an Intelligence (Nature) check and spend 30 minutes to try and find it in the area. Gathering the material takes time, roughly an hour per unit, and could include a basic (DC 10) Strength, Constitution or Intelligence check to remove without the proper tools. With proper tools, a gathering check is not needed.
