Rash. Gathering Resources.
The gathering system in Aion does not have radical differences from similar systems in other MMORPGs. Almost any object that has grown from the ground can be gathered if your skill is at the necessary level. This will allow you to collect various materials needed for professions.
In Aion, the resource gathering interface consists of two changing bars: success/failure. The gathering mode is activated by double-clicking the mouse on the object. The gathering process is completed successfully if the success bar fills up before the failure bar. The difference between the player's skill level and the required level of the object determines the chance of success.
Using the gathering skill
The success bar fills up quickly if the target's required skill level is significantly lower than the player's skill level, while the failure bar will fill up much more slowly.
For everything mentioned above, the following rules apply:
A player can gather resources from targets that exceed their skill by no more than 5 levels. (Resources that cannot be gathered due to level mismatch will display their name in red)
This skill can be applied to one target a maximum of five times. (Exception: precious stones can be gathered only once.)
The spawn locations of resources remain the same and do not change, just as their type does not change after respawning.
The maximum number of times resources can be gathered from a target (5 times) can be shared with another player who is gathering from the same target; the maximum number of gathers is divided between them.
Your cube can hold no more than 100 units of gathered resources.
The level of gathering achieved while being a human is retained even after changing the skill name when you become a Daeva. (Resources that you gathered as a human can no longer be gathered.)
You gain experience in the gathering skill even if the resource gathering fails, but of course, it is significantly less.
The essence of "Oda" is an integral part of everything in the world of Aion. Its role is so important that it defines the distinction between humans and Daeva, as beings, some of whom skillfully wield "Oda," while others do not. Divine Power is one form of "Oda," obtained from enemy players after their death, and is then absorbed by the character, transforming into a form of Divine Power.
During gathering in Aion, you also receive "Oda." The gathering skill is divided into three subtypes, depending on the ability to manage "Oda":
Human gathering skill.
Players from levels 1 to 9 are considered human. This means that the only way to gather resources is to rely on the old trusty human method - pulling them out by hand. Although this method will be used for a limited period of time, until you become a Daeva, it is recommended to work on leveling up your gathering skill because when you become a Daeva, your skill level will be retained and will be needed to gather new resources. It is recommended to level up the skill to at least level 10, at most level 15, based on the maximum level of resources that can be gathered at this stage of development - ore.
Daeva gathering skill. (Extracting Life Energy, Extracting "Oda").
After a player becomes a Daeva, they gain the ability to manipulate the flows of energy of "Oda." You can also gather resources while hovering in the air using your flying ability. In gathering locations for humans, you will no longer be able to gather resources, but you gain two new types of skills for resource extraction.
The first is the extraction of life energy, which can be used on the same types of items where you gathered resources while being human. Daeva have the ability to absorb energy from the target resources and reshape it into their purest energy without harming themselves, unlike humans who harm themselves by using their tools.
Extracting "Oda" is a skill that only Daeva can use. This is a brand new skill, starting at level 1. The biggest difference between this skill and the gathering system is that Shards of Oda appear only high in the air. Shards of Oda have the same properties as other resource sources, but the type of Oda obtained differs based on chance. One of the most important things to remember when gathering this resource is to carefully monitor the remaining flight time; if your flight time runs out midway through the gathering process, your character will crash to the ground from a great height and die.
Transforming Substance (Used only after Extracting Oda).
Since the energy of Oda is the essence of all substances, it is possible to transform the extracted energy of Oda into various substances. This skill will allow you to perform the aforementioned. The skill is obtained after you become a Datva. In the initial stage, this skill has only a few options, but additional plans and recipes can be purchased from NPCs for Qina.
Basic Concepts:
There are various types of materials, and just looking at them, one can determine which profession they belong to. Currently, there are nine types of resources.

Conclusion
Gathering turned out to be not as difficult as I expected. The required skill level increased quite quickly. I leveled my skill to 92 (out of 99) in 4 hours, starting from level 20 character and 5 skill level. I should note one thing, the levels of resources scattered across the map generally correspond to your skill level.

Additionally, gathering, like any crafting, has categories that are divided by hundreds (1-99, 100-199, 200-299, 300-399), which will be described in the crafting. The materials for each category correspond to the category of crafting development for which they are needed.
For example, 100-199 resources are used for recipes of 100-199 skill.
A separate crafting category is mastercraft and dragoncraft (400+ skill), which consumes 300+ resources.

Land resources are initially cheap, and only resources 300+ represent real value. The other resources mainly serve for skill gathering development.) Gathering resources also gives a bit of experience.
Leveling up gathering gives good advantages in late game and an additional hassle at low levels.
