Resources are generally "Nodes" found across the lands of Middle-earth, which provide crafting materials in Crafting Recipe.
Wood Branches can only be harvested by characters with the Forester profession. Prospectors are granted the ability to Track Wood, harvest the ore deposit using Crafting Tools, and process the wood into treated wood at a Workbench.

Normal branches typically yield 1 to 3 branches and a small chance of other crafting materials such as rare components and mastery components.
Heavy branches can yield up to 6 branches and occasionally kindling materials.
The following Professions can use the treated wood for materials in their own crafting recipes:
Logs of Mallorn Wood cannot be harvested anymore, remaining ones in inventory were converted into Gnarled Ilex Branch and can then be turned into Thin Ilex Board
Treated Mallorn Planks cannot be crafted anymore, remaining ones in inventory were converted into Gnarled Ilex Wood and can then be turned into Solid Ilex Board
