    Wouldn't it be great to be able to join a group that cooperates to gain crafting xp?

    I've been brainstorming a bit, and my favorite idea is as follows:
    Special resources (ore node, tree, plant or corpse) spawn in zones when a crafting group enters. To harvest those, multiple group members need to combine forces to harvest it. For example, a special tree can only be chopped down at forestry level 500, and the combined skill of the group members who chop at it should equal or exceed that. XP is released either during the harvesting or as result, but it should be shared by all party members. Non-harvesting party members could be employed guarding the harvesters. The total skill level required to harvest the special resource should depend on the level of the zone.

    Another idea:
    Members of a crafting party are assigned different roles, so that everyone basically can harvest one type of resource. Then the party can set out to normal zones and gather away. All xp, also from meticulous collection, is shared with the party members. Guards can be employed also.

    Why not something simple as harvesting?
    With the threat of a cold spill, snowfall or heavy downpour arriving soon, decimating the crops, the harvest needs to be brought in within X*[size of wheat field] hours which is too short for a single farmer to do and need a group working together, harvesting the wheat and loading it on a waggon (one that can be drawn by manpower to the next farmhouse where the wheat can be threshed, collected and put in sacks to be brought to the next mill - many towns in Novia do not have a mill and would need to travel to the next town - to produce flour...

    I've suggested something similar a long time ago. My suggestion included the usage of the groups level in the survey skills to determine the odds of a "special" node to spawn.
    I hope you get better luck than me to catch devs attention!

    It worked great in Vanguard. I'd love this idea.
