Gathering 101: Woodcutting, Mining & Fishing

The three resource-gathering skills — node types, tool tiers, and the deposit stations that keep you gathering longer.

Three Skills, One Loop

Woodcutting, Mining, and Fishing are Everworld's core gathering skills — left-click a tree, rock, or fishing spot to start working it, and the raw materials land straight in your inventory. Every skill levels up the same way: gather, earn XP, unlock better tools and higher-tier nodes.

Right-click context menu open on a tree, showing a Chopping action and an Examine option

Left-click a node to gather immediately, or right-click for the action plus Examine.

Woodcutting & Mining: Tool Tiers

Both skills share the same six-tier tool progression, unlocking at the same levels for axes and pickaxes alike:

Woodcutting Tool Tiers

Bronze (Lv. 1)

Iron (Lv. 10)

A higher tool tier doesn't just look nicer — it cuts down the time each swing takes, so upgrading is always worth it the moment you hit the level.

Nodes Get Tougher (and Better) as You Climb

  • Woodcutting: normal trees (Lv. 1) → oak (15) → willow (30) → maple (40) → mahogany (60) → bloodwood (75) → elder oak (85). Most trees respawn instantly and never run out; the elder oak is a rarer, limited node that needs to recover after a batch of chops.
  • Mining: copper & tin (Lv. 1) → iron (15) → coal (20) → gold (40) → flux (45) → dark iron (65) → obsidian (75).

Fishing Works a Little Differently

Instead of one universal tool line, Fishing uses different equipment for different fishing spots — a small net catches shrimp, a harpoon lands tuna and swordfish, and better rods unlock as you level:

There are ten fishing spots in total, from shrimp at level 1 up to manta ray at level 93, each requiring its matching equipment. Unlike gathering with an axe or pickaxe, every cast has a chance to come up empty — your catch rate improves the higher your Fishing level is above the spot's requirement.

Deposit Stations: Gather Without Filling Up

Mining and Fishing both have deposit stations nearby their resource-rich areas — a mine cart for ore, a fishing barrel for your catch. Interact with one and it sends every matching resource in your inventory straight to your bank in one go, so you can keep gathering instead of walking back and forth.

Deposit stations send your gathered resources straight to the bank — no trip required.

💡

Tip: Deposit stations only take items belonging to that station's skill — a mine cart won't touch your fish. Check your inventory before you assume it's been fully cleared out.

Woodcutting doesn't currently have an equivalent station, so keep an eye on your 28 inventory slots when you're chopping for a long stretch.
