    The idea is to make gathering a bit more exciting. When gathering, there could be a small chance to receive a short duration (15 minutes?) random gathering buff. It should be dismissible in case it's not the effect the player wants. Buffs could be: double gathering speed; get special resources only when harvesting at 100% chance; double yield but only base resources; immunity to attacks/interruptions. The buffs should be specific for a gathering skill and only 1 buff at a time. Call it a simple mini-game that can be played while gathering.

    Was it UO that added a chance to spawn a monster when gathering? A small chance when mining some rock creature showed up, or some rabbit-like creature when plucking stuff from the ground?

    That is what I likely remembered - sorry if I derailed your post, @Ysold

    No problems! I too have fond memories of UO treasure hunting. But I also remember vaguely bunnies spawning when gathering(?). They were fast and as such pretty hard to catch, but they had nice special loot. Edit: Weren't they called Spectral Rabbit? Edit edit: No, I think it was Vorpal Bunny!

    Personally I think there’s enough buffs to mining already, but something random happening… would be interesting.

    I'm all in for anything that would make the game less boring!
    On a side note, rare minerals, wood and cotton would be appretiated as well. Oh and what about making rare animal resources any useful in crafting?
