Extraction requires a lot of patience and concentration!
The effectiveness of herbs harvested in the field is limited due to their low quality, so if you want to begin
making herbal potions you will need higher-quality herbal ingredients. To produce these high-quality
ingredients, we must know how to process herbs.
You can find the "Extraction" skill in the "Normal" tab on the "Skill" interface. Then when you are on the Extraction page choose the recipe on the left side. Then, in the lower right part of the interface, select the quantity to be produced. If you have enough materials in your backpack, press "Craft" to begin work! However, you need to be near Alchemy Tools to do this.
you can learn extraction recipes from a herbalist instructor.
Your current Extraction level is actually your Herbalism level, easily shown by pressing "Y". This level indicates which recipes you may purchase. See Gathering Guide for more information.

For more information about harvesting locations, see Resource Nodes.
Harvesting of a resource does not require a recipe or training. Your Herbalism level IS your authority to harvest, except every 20 levels you must train to continue to earn experience towards your next level.
Refining a Raw Resource does require a recipe for each refined product. Recipes for level 66 to 75 are sold by specific Recipe vendors.
† The in-game text says that all three Resources for level 57 are actually level 56 but this is wrong. You cannot harvest them until 57 but you can purchase the Refining recipes at 56.
†† Although these Resources cannot be harvested until level 63, the Refining recipes are available at level 61.
††† Although these Resources cannot be harvested until level 69, the Refining recipes are available at level 66.
