Foraging

A new skill with low requirements, 300 lp and Farming, but it lets you get seeds at a low percentage rate without already having to have some. If you get a seed you can't get the same seed again for 1 ingame day.

I'm assuming that the "some" in "get seeds ... without already having to have some" refers to the plants from which the seeds originate, so that the ability allows one to acquire seeds without having any of the appropriate crops at hand. If that's the case, where would the seeds come from?

The ground. Seeds spread, trust me. Animals, wind people. Whatever. Perhaps a better chance of getting certain seeds if that crop is nearby or has been nearby in the last 2 weeks.

Im not against it, but I dont see how it would be useful as it stands. If its main use to to get a few more seeds from crops that have been harvested, "Gleaning" might be the better title.

The main use I see for this is getting starter seeds, in areas where the wild plants are gone, and any farmed plants are in claims. It would be very useful for newbs in devastated RoB areas. The main problem is that if the devs want some plants to be rare, or to be traded from a single originating stock, this skill would circumvent that.

wrong you would have to spent some time on checking ground and you still have really low chance on finding some
like timer formdigging clay, with 1 seed per 10 try?

Hunting for seeds is fun, IMHO. I should know, as I've brought in most of Bottleneck's starter seeds. With an infinite map it'll be impossible to run out of wild crops, so I see no need for this suggestion.
