Gathering is the process of collecting items from search points called Luminary Trees. For example, Crescent Moon Island and Twilight Desert have the glowing white "tree". The easiest way to know if a Luminary has appeared is to keep an eye on the minimap on the screen, where a Luminary Tree image is shown along with the word "Luminary". Gathering can be done by pressing "E" close to the "tree" and will take several seconds to complete, so it is best to clear any threats prior to any attempt to gather. Items you would get are determined by the type of tree and the battle location. Luminary are most common in the exploration areas (for example, Crescent Moon Island battle quest in Crescent Moon Island) as opposed to the story missions in those regions. Luminaries no longer spawn in Ship Graveyard maps.
