Tier 1 resource nodes?

Wondering where I would find tier 1 resource nodes and how would I know when I am ready to move onto tier 2?

 

There are very few tier one scenes with tier one resources they will be like highvale, bloodriver and solace bridge with a few more sprinkled in. You can look on SotaWiki.net and find scenes by difficulty. (It is not organized at this time by regions though)

As to how to know when .. hmm I usually move up my harvesting when I can 'fight' in the next zone. Others may have other opinions.

 

Thanks Lace Now I can follow my combat skill to match my gathering skills. I have always just stayed in one area pretty much to raise my skill level.

 

they say highvale is a place to find tier 1 resources. You can find hides and there is one cotton bush and that's all there is.

 

Go to Hidden Vale.
Kingsroad, North and South Valeway are Tier 1's.

 

East perennial trail is nice as well.
Metal, cotton, wood.

 

you can also get Mandrake and Garlic in East perennial
