In the previous text, it was mentioned that the spoils from defeated enemies only yield materials, depending on the level of the gathering skill. The higher the level, the more and rarer the output.

Gathering is divided into many types, but each has its specialization. The level of herb gathering cannot be converted into skinning and boning, and collecting embers and cores from elemental creatures is not far from basic enchanting. Therefore, Lef, the only one in the team with gathering skills, couldn't be of much use.

She was quite adept at dissecting seafood people by the sea, but not so skilled with large birds like the widow hawk.

So when the first male hawk died, Xia Ya just skinned it and plucked its feathers, knowing there wouldn't be anything valuable to find.
