Zones are suggested stages, not a fixed harvesting circuit or promised yield. The checklist inserts training before each skill cap. Tool costs cover one reusable item; skill gains, drop quantities, travel and gathering duration are not invented. Saved progress stays local and is separated by profession, game version and character.
