Can take awhile.

It's all random. Sometimes I get one my first few forages in zone, sometimes it takes an hour.

Make sure you're in the right zones

Misty Thicket
Greater Faydark
Innothule Swamp
Everfrost Peaks

is it possible to get the items on a lvl 1 ranger using basically forage skill?

[LaithusFTW]

Wiki says forage skill of 100 necessary. Unsure if that is true or not.

2 hours would seem to be bad luck from personal experience.

[Daldaen]

I'm pretty sure there is no level requirement.

I don't know if there's a skill in the game that won't work at any skill level. You have a chance at lower levels, it's just bad.

[LaithusFTW]

Pick lock?

[ArumTP]

No particular level is needed, better levels maybe better forage chance? I scooped one in gfay at like level 5

Think I was level 20-25ish when I foraged my pieces - fairly sure my skill was sub 100 when I started. Can just take awhile, think it took like 3-4hrs in everfrost for example.

According to the wiki you must have 100 foraging skill to forage any special items; ie anything other that fruit, berries, vegetables, rabbit meat, roots, pod of water, fishing grubs.

I believe this to be true on p99. And if it's not currently true then it think it should be (classic).

Even if it is currently possible to forage the epic items pre-100 you are largely wasting your time because for certain they come with greatly increased frequency at higher skill level. It is almost an irritation at high level when you are out of water and all you can forage is special items.

Yup, i made a wood elf bard, and got the item on my very first forage.

This is not true. I've gotten ripened heartfruit, morning dew, plains pebbles, and other special items sub-100. Pretty rare, though.

There's no such thing as a minimum skill in Everquest. All a higher skill level does in any given skill is raise a percentage of a value or raise a percentage change for an action to occur. EQ is simply an evolution of tabletop games, specifically DnD. You can roll a perfect 20 (5%) and succeed or a 1 (5%) and get a perfect fail. This is most evident in tradeskills where an unskilled crafter can brute force a high level combine or a master can fail a trivial item.

Pick lock?

That's an exception. Pick lock is different because it's all or nothing. You either 100% fail or 100% succeed.
