Scavenging

Scavenging represents a character’s ability to search through refuse, ruins, or the remains of creatures to extract valuable or useful components. This skill enables adventurers to find treasures in unexpected places—harvesting rare materials from defeated foes, salvaging equipment from abandoned camps, or repurposing scraps and debris into functional tools. Scavenging rewards resourcefulness and ingenuity, turning what others might overlook or discard into opportunities for crafting, trade, or survival.

Scavenging is a versatile skill that plays a role in both exploration and crafting. Characters with high Scavenging proficiency can identify valuable parts on a creature, such as venom sacs, magical essence, or durable hides, and extract them safely. Similarly, they can sift through heaps of discarded materials to find components for repairs, traps, or improvised solutions in challenging situations. Beyond its practical applications, Scavenging provides unique roleplay opportunities, such as uncovering the history of an item through its remnants or learning about a creature’s abilities through its anatomy. In The Land, where resources are often scarce and ingenuity can make the difference between success and failure, Scavenging is an essential skill for adventurers who see potential where others see waste.
