Actually.... On my Hunterborn girl, I don't have the patch, and she's able to forage all those.

I have the new patch, everything works perfectly. No worries.

First off, welcome to the forums! Looks like you got some good mod advice. I've played hunters both vanilla and modded and one of my favorite things to do is turn off the crosshairs so you can just aim instinctively. Makes archery a bit interesting but very rewarding when you can hit a deer on the run from a distance with no crosshair.

Lol... I did that on my 360... genuinely makes the game funner and slightly harder... of course it meant no HUD at all, but that was fine.
