⛏️Gathering Guide

Gathering allows players to collect resources in two different ways.

The first method is active gathering by interacting with the currently selected resource.

The second method is passive production generated automatically by hired workers.

Together these systems continuously increase resource generation and support long-term progression.

Blade Rising currently contains three Gathering resources.

Only the first resource is available at the beginning of a fresh progression.

Additional resources become available after being unlocked through progression.

For this documentation the resources are intentionally referred to as Resource 1, Resource 2 and Resource 3.

The displayed names may vary depending on the current game configuration.

Players can gather resources by tapping the currently selected Gathering object.

Holding the gather button also performs repeated gathering automatically after a short delay.

During a continuous hold the gathering speed gradually increases through multiple gathering stages, allowing faster collection without repeated tapping.

Each Gathering resource can also generate passive production.

Passive production continues automatically after workers have been hired.

Increasing passive production improves long-term resource generation and also affects Offline Income calculations.

Passive production is displayed separately from active gathering values.

Workers increase passive resource generation.

As more workers are hired, passive production continues growing for that resource.

Hiring workers is one of the primary ways of increasing long-term resource generation.

Each resource supports several upgrade categories that improve Gathering progression.

These upgrades increase different aspects of resource generation and are saved independently from the current combat run.

Resource progression also changes the visual appearance of each Gathering object as higher levels are reached.

Each resource currently contains ten visual progression stages.

A fresh progression begins with Resource 1 available.

Additional resources are unlocked through game progression.

When an Ascension begins, resource availability returns to the initial state and must be unlocked again during the new run.

After reaching the required Gathering progression, Resource Spawn becomes available.

Rare resource items can appear while gathering.

Interacting with them grants an additional resource reward before continuing normal gathering.

Resource Spawn remains unlocked permanently once obtained.

Gathering progression is saved independently from combat progression.

Purchased hires, upgrade levels and unlocked Gathering resources are stored and restored automatically.

This allows Gathering progression to persist between play sessions.

Gathering exists to strengthen every future combat run.

As resource generation improves, additional hires and upgrades become available more quickly.

Offline Income also benefits from stronger passive production, making Gathering one of the most important long-term progression systems.
