Certain tiles contain Gathering Points, marked with a green * on the map. When you stand on one, a Gather link appears. Gathering yields a resource specific to the terrain type.

Resources are stored in your personal resource inventory and are consumed by the Crafting system. Gathering Points respawn after a short cooldown. Plan your route to gather efficiently on the way to hunting grounds.

Patch 3.5 — Sundered Reaches Materials

Gathering nodes across the three new islands yield the new material tier instead of the usual tile resources: Star-Iron (Tundra snows and coasts), Spine-Stone (Worldspine mountains) and Vitrified Shard (Wastes desert and glasscrag). The fourth material, Umbral Residue, has no nodes at all — the creatures of the Underworld's Umbral Deep shed 1–2 on death.
