Introduction
Before we get too deeply into how and where to harvest, let's set up a few basic terms. A "node" means a harvestable clump of resources. When a "Tier" is mentioned, it's referring to the level range of the resources and/or region. (Tier 1 is level 3-9, Tier 2 is level 10-19, Tier 3 is level 20-29, Tier 4 is level 30-39, Tier 5 is level 40-49.)
Names on the nodes will vary from zone to zone, so generic references are used here, to create a common frame of reference. Rare forages are included in bold italics. Ore-type nodes carry the metals for smithing and use the mining skill. Stone-type nodes carry the metals and gems used for jewelcraft and also use the mining skill. Roots refer to the roots, tubers and other fibers that are used mainly for tailoring and alchemy and use the gathering skill. Likewise the shrubs and gardens for baking and the fungi and herb gardens for alchemy use gathering. Wood nodes, unsurprisingly, carry the woods and use the foresting skill. Various fish are used in cooking, and use the fishing skill. Dens hold the critter harvests (pelts and meats) and use the trapping skill.

Tier 1
There are no special requirements for Tier 1 zones. Tier 1 zones include: Forest Ruins, Oakmyst Forest, The Caves, The Peat Bog, The Ruins, The Sunken City, The Sprawl, and The Graveyard. (Note that The Sprawl and The Graveyard have no spot in which to fish. The Ruins and the Sunken City have small areas to fish off the docks.)

Tier 2
The two Tier 2 zones are Antonica and the Commonlands. It requires a minimum of 20 skill in the proper harvesting skills (foresting to harvest wood, etc.) in order to harvest in these zones. Note that Tier 2 currently has "wood" rares (severed bone) currently on both wood nodes as well as a separate node. An added note is that Tier 2 havesting can be done in the Vale of Shattering instance, for those who have access to it.
