## 🧰 <mark style="color:$success;">Afuaru Gathering Event</mark>

**Afuaru has moved to Gathering!**

While gathering, **Afuaru can appear at random** and reward you with a large bundle of materials based on the type of gathering activity you are doing.

{% hint style="info" %}
Afuaru rewards are tied to your current **Gathering speciality**, so the materials you receive will vary depending on what you are gathering.
{% endhint %}

### <mark style="color:$success;">⛏️ Example: Mining Rewards</mark>

When Afuaru appears while **Mining**, he can grant up to:

| **Reward**                      |    **Amount** |
| ------------------------------- | ------------: |
| Assorted Gems / Ores            | **Up to 500** |
| Caphras Stones                  | **Up to 250** |
| Concentrated Magical Black Gems | **Up to 250** |
| Black Gems                      | **Up to 250** |
| Black Gem Fragments             | **Up to 250** |

{% hint style="info" %}

### <mark style="color:$success;">Mastery 6000</mark> will x6 these rewards

{% endhint %}

### <mark style="color:$success;">📈 Mastery Benefits</mark>

Higher **Gathering Mastery** improves the Afuaru event in two ways:

* **Increased chance** for Afuaru to appear
* **Increased number of Afuaru spawns**, up to a maximum of **6**

### 🌿 <mark style="color:green;">How It Works</mark>
