Thread: Track Crops necessary?

Greetings all,

I've chosen Yeoman on my Loremaster mainly because I do'nt like straying from my path just to mine some ore or chop some wood. My crafting experience is very limited (tier 2) and I have no idea whether or not it's necessary to collect the many Taters, Raspberries, Salads, ... I stumble upon across the world.

Are they of any use? Can I not simply grow my own fields of Taters, Raspberries and Salads?

It may not be useful to track these crops, but it can also find indigo/woad plants and other dye materials that are only available on the landscape and cannot currently be farmed.

There are some food plants (like rhubarb) that you cannot farm yourself. You don't need a lot of it, but it is in some recipes.

You can buy all Rhubarb you need from a NPC vendor. There is no real reason to pick it up unless you want to.

this. even if you don't have a scholar alt, you can sell them at the AH for a pretty nice amount (currently around 150-200s at riddermark)

I place some floating skill bars on top of my screen, near the minimap, for toggle skills like Trackings.
Saves a lot of space on my actual skillbars. And it just seems reasonable to have a tracking skill be next to the map.

Generelly the track crops skill is not useful, but in some places where there is a high density of woad, yarrow root, or indigo its worth turning on.
