Title says it all...If I should be focusing on wood or stone it would be good to know ?
I think it would be a good idea to have weekly resource reports and needs posted like Hiedi and Elph use to do in AoC.Those were very beneficial..

Skills first

Gold second, stone third, wood fourth.

Whats fifth?

Mounts, Iron , Gold are the three big things.

Quartz/Herbs

Quartz lets us stockpile repair shards, herbs so you can make pots and get steed grass for mounts.

Did we ever figure out reliably where quartz comes from? I picked up 4 along the way somewhere, pretty sure I looted (not skinned) one off a Goblin or Kobold.

Earth Elemental by the manscorps skins for 10 quartz about 30% of the time.

Oak Loads drop 20 I believe, and the Rancor looking things next to Darkmoore skin for 8. That's all they drop, and it's everytime.
