Gathering Samples

[LelleASD]

Hello, I have a question about samples. 

 

When I aquire a sample do I need to do anything else to get it added to the list?

I found the sample site for Yulan Magnolia Sap around Songshu Isle, but it still tells me I need to aquire a sample. 

I went back to the same spot but now I can't harvest it anymore. 

 

So back to the question " do I need to do anything else to get it added to the list?" Or is it a bug?

Normally when you harvest it, the item gets added to your list. When you harvest it and pick up the item from it you also get some exp for it (think it is 1500 xp or so?)

u only need gather the sample... I think that u must check any order in progress... ;)

As additional info. You can even 'gather' a sample when you dont have the level. 

When you haven't found a sample yet it will have a symbol on it (a white scroll or circle was it?) that shows it hasn't been found yet.

After you found it but cannot use it yet the symbol will turn into a small lock. 

 

I found the level 3 woodcutters items yesterday while my woodcutting is at 2.

You can go ahead, but you will walk between very high mobs and can kill you faster if you are not careful.

Alright, thanks for the info. I restarted the game and then the sample was there in the list. 

Might just have been "lag".

are these samples also tied to the horrible 2+ hour respawn nodes on the maps?

Thankfully not. The samples are basically tracked for each individual person so you don't need to fight other people for them. They're not like the quartz and wells at all, thankfully.

Where is the sample for "sandy clay"?

 

I've been looking for hours and the quest says i can find it near lakeside cache but i still can't find it! please help!

Had the same problem. First you neet to talk to Raysu (Green Thumb Apprentice) near the tavern, and then you can pick up that clay sample.
