Crafting & gathering
Gathering spends Vigor at a node where you stand (fish the shallows, cut timber, mine ore). Each node yields its region's resources, now and then a rare one. Better tools and the Gathering skill raise the yield.
Crafting turns resources into gear, food, tools and parts at a station (forge, glassworks, tannery, alchemy table, workshop). It costs Focus up front and real minutes; Wits and the Crafting skill make it faster, raise the chance of a bonus item and the grade of crafted gear.
A recipe needs a Crafting skill level. Crafting more than once in a row (a batch) saves taps, not time. A few recipes are not listed anywhere: they are learned along the way.
Crafting XP: every Focus a craft costs teaches more the harder the recipe (3 XP a Focus for a starter recipe, 6 at Crafting 20, more above), and a recipe more than 5 levels below yours teaches less and less. The first time you make each recipe pays a discovery bonus, your first batch each day a daily bonus, and story steps and commissions that ask for crafts pay Crafting XP too. A new recipe opens every level or two, so there is always something new to try.
Story steps that ask you to craft hand you the materials when you accept them, and the quest tracker says when your skill is short: "Crafting 6/8: craft 4 more Pine Planks or 2 Cured Leather".

- A craft is worth more than its inputs: crafting for the market, or for a house's commissions, is a real living.
