How to reduce Gathering collect (where are the tools???)

    Hello everybody, I want to know where I can find collect tools (sickle, axe and extractor) and how to enhance them, and also I would like to have a little list of all way to speed up the collect process.


    I know that some achievements give a necklace that speed up collect by 2-4% depending of the achievement.


    I know there is a consumable : "Pickled verida root" that reduce the collect time by 20%


    I know there is some cards that reduce the collect time on specific rocks or plants.


    Is there anything else?


    I saw we can craft "Speedy Gathering Tool I" in the Smelthing branch of artisanat. It's a multipurose tool that reduce all collect time by 2s.

    We can also craft "Rune" that enhance the quality of tools (probably basics tools like sickle).


    There is blueprints of "Gathering tool combiner" (sold by the smelting material guy at Highwatch) wich are differents evolutions of the basic multipurpose tool but in the requirement list of theses multipurpose tools I saw that we need differents evolution of the basic tools (pickaxe, sickle and extractor).


    So my big question, where are theses basics tools? I find them nowhere this is crazy XD.


    Where I can find a "low quality sickle" a "low quality pick" and a "low quality extractor"???


    I feel like they are totally missing in the game lol.


    Thks for any help on that, I want to play collect and craft but 13s collect time is wayyyy to long.

    You are right, they can't be crafted anymore. You only have the chance to combine existing ones you had before Patch 95.

    You can combine Pets to a Companion who might have an ability that reduces gathering time. It's rng if you get it, but I think you already listed every option to reduce gathering time (if you gather yourself).


    The last option is getting a gathering pet either from broker or from shop, who collect anything in 4s. They are very expensive but they often come with storage space or other useful abilities.

    Well they actually have been replaced by the "Speedy Gathering Tool" OP is already aware of

    This is why you can't find those basic tools (sickle, pick, extractor) anymore.

    This is wrong: those runes are here to enhance the quality of the new all-in-one tool (aka Speedy Gatering Tool I/II/III/IV/V)
