I'm sorry but I still have absolutely no idea what to do.

I went and picked up the Logging Bearded Rock guildleve. I have to go and collect samples from three trees. I read up on the guides and this is what it says:

How to Log
1. Use the Arbor Call ability to search for nearby mature trees.
2. Follow the Arbor Call results to approach a mature tree, and select the Log option when it appears in the system menu.
3. The logging process will now begin.

Problem is, due to a lack of information, I have no idea how to even get to the abilities menu, whether I even have this Arbor Call ability, etc. Every search I do brings up what abilities I can use, but not HOW to use them. Even when approaching "sparkling / shining" trees to log them, there is no log option on the main menu. Even a search of the Internet with the guildleve I'm doing brings up nothing more than a screenshot of the card I am doing.

I really don't want to give up on this game though I am so lost. There is plenty of information out there sure. But it seems there is no information for people who don't even know their way around yet, and this is very frustrating.

Just as a side note I finish about 20 games a year, a few of them RPGs, so I am not new to gaming. I am just absolutely, completely lost as to what to do because every FAQ or guide I come across seems to assume I know basic things - which I don't yet - because there is, well, no manual and no in-game tutorial that I can find.
