Resources are generally "Nodes" found across the lands of Middle-earth, which provide crafting materials in Crafting Recipes.
- Artifacts can only be harvested by characters with the Scholar profession. Scholars are granted the ability to Track Artifacts, study the artifact using Crafting Tools, and process the ore into ingots at a Forge.
- Artifact node

- The following Professions can use these texts and materials in their own crafting recipes:
- Scholar
- Note: The scholar is the only profession that can use these materials for crafting.
