Forestry
Complete forestry skill definition with all harvestable content
Forestry is the wood extraction skill, providing raw logs for
Carpentry, Textiles, and Ranged equipment crafting. From humble
balsa saplings to the mythical Redwood giants, foresters supply
the wood that builds civilization. Secondary products like bark,
resin, and sap feed into Alchemy and crafting skills.

Lore
Since before recorded history, people have turned to the forest
for sustenance and shelter. The first tools were wooden, the first
fires fed by timber, the first homes built from logs. The art of
forestry — knowing which tree to fell, when to harvest, and how
to sustain the woods — is as old as civilization itself.
The mundane trees are remarkable enough: oak that lasts centuries
in ship hulls, yew that bends into legendary bows, ironwood hard
enough to rival steel. But the forests hold deeper secrets.
In groves where the fey dance, elderwood trees glow with captured
magic. Where the dead linger, spiritwood grows translucent and
strange. And the ancient redwoods — titans that witnessed the
birth of nations — hold power in every ring of their centuries-old
heartwood.
A true forester knows that the forest gives freely to those who
respect it. Plant a sapling for every tree you fell, and the
woods will provide forever.
