The way things are now, the harvesting skill seems to be pretty much worthless. I have a character who gathers all his own herbs, and he has an herbal skill of 30 while his harvesting is still not quite to 3 yet. Harvesting using a tool takes a long time, and at low levels you are only successful like a third of the time anyway. And even if you are successful, it took 10 seconds, time which could have been used to just run around and pick up five other pieces instead.
Some things that could help this problem:
1. Make the harvesting time shorter. You're not breaking a rock with a pickaxe, you're picking fruit from a branch/vine. They shouldn't take the same amount of time.
2. Give some practice even for failures. That way at least you get something with every attempt.
3. Make failure less common. It's picking fruit, not mining for ores. It should be a lot easier.
If even just one of these things is implemented it would help a lot. Thanks.
