Subject: Poor Foraging


I have forage maxed, and hardly ever succesfully forage. It leveled so
slowly that i put about 20 practice points into it (I still have about 30
points). I get water so seldom that i always buy milk. I usually get
grapes, and they don't always stack together. Forage is a letdown for me.
