==Prerequisites==
*You need to have a level 90 tradeskill class.
*You must have finished [[A Gathering Obsession, Final Errand]].
*You must visit [[Thurgadin, City of the Coldain]] ''after'' you've reached level 90 in your tradeskill, even if you've already been there.
*If you've received the mail from Qho and he does not offer you the quest, delete his mail message and go to Thurgadin. You will receive another copy of the mail and when you return to Mara, the quest should be active.

==Helpful Hints==
* To speed things up, before you leave Mara, go into the bar across from the South Sea tents and buy a '''Return to Mara''' (one use) stone for {{Coin||6||||}} from {{NPC|Koros Splinterlimb|}}, the South Sea merchant who is drinking at the bar.  Use it after you finish gathering the harvests to teleport back to Mara quickly. These can be purchased in stacks of 20.
* If you lose Qho during any of these steps, you can go back to {{NPC|Lian Augren}} and tell her you can't find him.
* See the [[Talk:The Return Of A Gathering Obsession|discussion page]] for information on good spots for harvests.
*Characters with a low adventure level can access most needed harvestables by using the [[Druid Ring (SF)|druid ring in the Sundered Frontier]] and fishing is easiest on [[Kerra Isle]]. 
*Since water is scarce on giant floating islands, a good place to find '''school of tiny fish''' are in north [[The Stonebrunt Highlands|Stonebrunt Highlands]] in the lake around the entrance to [[The Deepwater Pavilion|The Deepwater Pavilion.]] 
*Bountiful Harvest is available and advised. Compact Sumac Harvesting Kit (12%) + [[Gi of the Ashen Artisan]] (12%) + Ample Harvest Tradeskill AA (15%) + [[Mark of the Far Seas]] (10%) can get even a free player to nearly 50% with a further 27% available from the [[Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl]] and more from Harvest Nail adornments.
