Make Gathering More Engaging – Progression, Boss Resources & Co-op Gameplay

I’d love to suggest an improvement to the gathering system (woodcutting, mining, fishing) to make it more fun and rewarding over time.

Tool Progression
To gather higher-level resources, players would need to upgrade their tools to higher levels or rarities. This gives a clear sense of progression and makes upgrading tools feel worth it.

Boss Resources
Add rare “boss” resources (like Ancient Trees, Titan Ores, or Legendary Fish) that drop special materials. These would need strong, high-tier tools to gather.

Co-op Gathering
Boss resources could be designed for co-op, where multiple players team up with their best tools to gather them together. This would turn gathering into a fun group activity instead of a solo grind.

Overall, this would make gathering feel:

  • More rewarding

  • More strategic

  • More social

  • More meaningful throughout the game

Let’s make gathering just as exciting as combat!
