The quality of foraged goods comes in four levels: regular, silver, gold, and iridium. However, only players who have chosen the Botanist Profession can find iridium quality foraged goods. Higher quality goods command higher prices when the goods are sold, and deliver greater [[energy]] and [[health]] benefits when they are consumed. If given as a gift to an NPC who likes or loves it, a quality gift also provides a higher number of [[friendship]] points.
