NGL this guide is both convenient and inconvenient at the same time, it shows u what gear to get but not where to get it
You’re right! I’ll be fixing these to better reflect this.
Just a correction, animal trace is EAST of Mord Souq, not WEST, at X 31.1 Y 15.2
Hey guys,
I just tried levelling my miner job from 60 to 70, and found a shortcut (more on that below). Since MIN and BTN in FFXIV share very similar mechanics, I suppose that the below is applicable to BTN as well. If anyone can confirm, that’d be great. I’ll also try and do the same with my own BTN job, will report back on how it went.
So, I just got back to the game after a while, decided to level my lv.60 miner (lv.60 gear, 622GP).
What I did was mine collectibles from lv.58-60 spots (e.g., Red Quartz & Adamantite, they have close in-game appearance times and are relatively close geographically). With a simple 600GP rotation I managed to score consistent 500+ collectibility, about 5-6 items per spot, about 15-17 items total. Turning in to Rowena’s appraisers in Idyllishyre blasted me from lv.60 to 65 in an instant. I didn’t have much time to test this method further, but I guess that I’ll at least easily reach lv.70 that way, with zero investment into lv.60-69 gear.
As for the yellow scripts that you’ll inevitably get, use them to buy folklore books, you’ll need them to progress miner’s story missions (also, you’ll be able to mine better minerals and probably sell them at the market).
Hope this helps!
Hey, I just got back into leveling BOT from 60, and noticed class quest xp gives an insane amount of xp (12.3mil xp at level 70, when the xp to 71 is 12,449,000, so its essentially a whole level.) It gives so much xp that the class quest at 70 essentially eliminates the dead zone since you’re just a few thousand xp away from 71. Just thought you should put this in the guide. Thanks!
Aye, if you’re rushing through and are a newer player class quests are CHONKY. Sadly for the case for people like me, I got zero xp out of ’em back when they were the final one! I will add this in my next update thanks!
First off, thank you thank you thank you! This guide is amazing and has enabled me to tackle botanist and basically speed through Leveling! I think it was mentioned before and I only scrolled through some of the comments but I’m currently grinding nodes at lvl 56 and found:
1)Heavens Lemons node spawns at 6
2) Cloud Bananas spawn at 4
Thanks again for this awesome guide!
Here’s a piece of advice, if you’re handing over lines to go in a macro, don’t use wonky fonts. Straight copy/paste into FFXIV and it won’t recognize them. ” is not the same as “
It’s actually supposed to be the “lack of font”.
I’ll fix this up!I just tried it and it seems to work fine… which macro didn’t work out for you?
The macro in the 71+ collectible rotation info box
/ac “Discerning Eye”
/ac “Methodical Appraisal”
/ac “Discerning Eye”
/ac “Methodical Appraisal”
/ac “Single Mind”
/ac “Methodical Appraisal”
doesn’t work when copy/pasted directly from this page. I had to go in and change the two ” on each line, then they ended up working. Something about the quotation marks used doesn’t register in-game. Hope this info helps to fix it!
I get the same problem, but it takes about 5 seconds to fix. Could be an OS/Browser issue. I’m on Chrome on Windows 10 and “lack of font” is different from “lack of font” (unsure how this might look while posted)
Here’s a version I changed to work for me. I also reduced the wait from 3 to 2 with Discerning Eye and Single Mind, as it was unnecessary to wait so long.
/ac “Discerning Eye”
/ac “Methodical Appraisal”
/ac “Discerning Eye”
/ac “Methodical Appraisal”
/ac “Single Mind”
/ac “Methodical Appraisal”
Yeah, the website seems to do some sort of conversion on the quotes once the comment is posted. Not sure what that’s about. And it ate my waits. Presumably thinking it was HTML due to the left and right carets.
Thanks for the guide! I just wanted to leave a note here that I was able to follow the entire level 70-80 guide while wearing blue gear purchased with yellow gatherers’ scrip, no problem getting HQs for turn-ins or getting the right collectability level.
This is a great suggestion, though I initially hesitated to add it due to not many people having it coming in – however it is a legit strategy so I’ll add it in soon!
Very true, don’t waste your money on the gear mentioned in the guide. Short version, just do collectibles and in down time between them farm nearest and highest level nodes with gathering food active and the company times or the script tones that give you extra exp.
The lvl 70 Yellow scrip II gear will carry you effortlessly all the way from 70 to 80. The only upgrade i made pre-80 was buying a HQ offhand at 74. Especially with the cost reduction to yellow scrip gear, there is no need whatsoever to buy any white gear aside from the HQ offhand. At 80, I was able to grind out the 4 white scrip collectables and kit out with the White scrip gear available. The currently craftable DoL gear for 80 is frankly not worth the money, at most you would buy HQ accessories and belt but there is painfully little gain.
Tl;Dr Yellow scrip gear will carry you to 80, buy a HQ offhand at 74, don’t buy crafted gear at 80, just get the white scrip gear until they patch in better crafted recipes.
The stormblood guide for botany would be better if they just stated what the quest turn-ins were so that we could grind them like they did in the past guides.
You cannot preemptively grind the quest items as it is now a quest specific thing
It’s worth noting that the Blessed Fieldkeep’s Hatchet from the Achievement “I Found That: Botanist V” for gathering and recording discovery of 230 unique items as a Botanist actually beats out all of the hatchets during levelling – even the HQ Highsteel! It has stats like this;
Ilvl 200
Vit: 30
Gathering: 292
Perception: 167
You can’t meld it, but I found that even with melds on the HQ Highsteel (Gathering: 274, Perception: 156) it didn’t beat those stats. I got it just by filling in all my gathering logs, so if people make an effort to do that as soon as they’re available, then you can get it quite early during levelling to 70! :)
First of all, thanks A LOT for this great guide, I’m a new-ish player and this saved me a lot of time!
Just a little heads up for anyone attempting Botanist Class Quest LVL70, not only the quest requires 5 normal items now (which has been covered correctly in this guide) but with Patch 4.2 “Ageless Words” doesn’t work anymore for this node in this particular scenario (this isn’t written anywhere in the patch note, but I just attempted it and it doesn’t work anymore sadly) so don’t bother wasting those 300GP on it, and use it to have 100% gathering chance instead (unless you have it already of course) else you’re forced to wait for the next time slot in order to complete the quest and it’s gonna be a pain. :(
I just did this quest last night (Mar 31, 2019) on patch 4.5x. I completed both MIN and BTN 70 quests and used Ageless words on both to get another try to finish 5. It did work.
I didn;t see it mentioned anywhere, but Its not necessary to grind lv 60 to 61 anymore, the stuff that Zhloe asks for for her orphanage gives excellent experience and was the same difficulty as the lv 58-59 stuff for me. Not to mention the storyline for that mini quest is actually interesting.
where is the cheap meld guide located for lvl 60-70 BTN?
click on: Botanist Gear: Upgrade Summary or Accessory Upgrade. Cheap Melds are inside those clickies!
Hello,
I can’t seem to find the guide that you mentioned, do you mind giving me the link here directly?
Thank you!
it’s not a link sadly. just go to page 6 and look for a heading titled: “Botanist Gear: Upgrade Summary”. It should be under the “Botanist Leveling: 61 to 62”
Ohhh! I found what you were talking about, jumped to the last page because I was level 69. Just wondering, do you also have a Stormblood endgame gear/meld guide for BTN?
been meaning to put that… will try to post that as soon as we can :)
The Botanist level 15 quest now requires 10 HQ Marjoram
For the level 70 quest, HQ is needed. The first Rhalgr’s Streak you harvest will say it counts, but it doesn’t.
I may have missed something here, but whats the suggested stockpile used for? Why are we stocking up these items?
I get some of them are for the next class quest, but the rest?
If you’re leveling crafters you need a small stock of some lower level items. Throw them away if your DoH is past the tier of your DoL – however this was made such a long time ago maybe I should just do away with suggested stockpile?
I found it helpful :). I used a lot of the logs especially for leveling Carpentry.
Nah leave it in, it helps people who dont want to spend money on mats and want to profit fully from crafting.
Thanks for the info :) keep up the good work!
Nah, it was completely useful to me. Don’t like needlessly spending gil and the grind isn’t terrible
For the stockpile is it reccomending HQ mats or just regular mats
regular is fine. HQ mats are the ones needed for quests
Thank you for responding so briskly.
Not sure if this is changed after SB, but tbh I just grind on Cedar log collectible 51-60. I can get 54 collectible logs in ~10 minutes, thats just shy of 1 mil XP (54 ,is just how many free slots I have in my inventory). throw in Coerthan tea leaves every 10:00ET and thats coming close to 1.2Mil – 1.5Mil every 10 minute run. Obviously this isn’t good if you want to sell things or gather things for crafting, but if you just want to grind up to the SB area these days and have no leves, it’s not a bad way to do it. If you’re rich, perhaps Wind Widows are better @58 and cloud mushrooms @59, but I can hit the above XP numbers on the logs with NQ gear and some cheap melds. No fancy skill rotations involved, just grab the log, appraisal twice and usually collect two or three logs per tree. It’s mind numbing, but easy and fast.
idk if its a typo in the quest or a bug but I just completed my lvl 70 class quest with 5 NQ Rhalgr’s Streak. The actual turn-in didn’t ask for HQ either (I only had 2 anyway) so I’m not sure what’s going on because the quest tracker was listing that I had 5 HQ ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿
I’m pretty sure they ask for HQ after the end.
For the Level 68 levequests, there’s an error in your chat. The 8 node eval leve is actually “Nunh the Wiser” and the “Last of the Mhigans” is the 32 or fail leve.
it’s fixed already. Thanks for letting us know!
The time for Heavens Lemons appears to have changed, I just found them at 6 p.m. ET. I stuck around till about 10:10 ET to verify they don’t spawn at that time anymore
changed the time already. thanks for the heads up! :D
Just finished the quest for Rhalgr’s Steak. I collected 5 NQ and HQ and for science decided to hand in the NQ ones first to see what merit the above comment had. The quest completed with only NQ items being handed in. I didn’t take a screenshot before but here is one just after my hand in. With what I had left after handing in the quest.
https://i.gyazo.com/59afe300408cf5acb54e36716980fad4.png
You know, I feel something funny is going on with that quest. I had to submit NQ and HQ, maybe it was a strange bug of sorts, or they nerfed it. Either way if it’s just NQ I guess I’ll make a note on the guide. How very odd, even reviewing the quest in databases, HQ is the requested item…
Heyo, still planning on updating this? I am now getting into the Stormblood parts of gathering. Full NQ lvl 61 left side gear, random hodgepodge of right side gear to hit 600+ GP with food. HQ main hand at 62 feels godlike. I’ve managed to collect Gyr Abanian Wheat collectable off of a gathering +1 node (can’t do it with 4 whacks in my gear, need to 5th hit to get to 470 collectability). Looking forward to seeing the completed guide.
Botany is expensive… how do you keep your gil supply healthy? The gear upgrades ate away a pretty big chunk of my gil reserves.
The unspoiled nodes have 5+ whacks. more with “utmost caution” rotations. Expensive is a relative term, heh. If you feel as if your gil got chunked…. you’re a gatherer!!!! Sell the stuff you harvest!
Are there tips/guides about getting to 600GP? I barely hit 500GP at level 50 (I’m at 470 now). Is it just buying stuff at Market Boards?
what do you grind from 45-50 you didn’t put a suggestion just leves.
Nothing really good comes out pre 45, but at 46 you can farm Rosewood Log and Thanalan Tea Leaves
Achieved 50 thanks to this guide. Looking for 60.
I would explain more the position of the quest items. Example for the 3 last logs for quest 50, you don’t say where, you don’t say that it’s a node that appears à 9 am in the coerthas providence zone.
I got a hard time locating many of these items. Maybe I’m unskilled :P
Found this link that is quite efficient

lv 46-50 quote
“Where to find Spruce Log? This quest is a little different, as you’re going to have to be level 50 to complete it (You cannot gather it as a 49 and below botanist)”
——
Yes you can…… easily
edited this. Suggested to wait for level 50 as it can be difficult without Toil of the Pioneer.
Just a note. You say that you cannot gather Spruce logs if you are not 50. This is incorrect. I am currently lvl 46 and have gathered them. You simply need to know which slot they are in (6). Simply make sure your Truth of Forests is turned on and run for the node when it becomes available. I am happy to provide photo video/ evidence. You can gather level 50 unspoiled nodes so long as you know which space holds the item and so long as your stats allow for it.
thank you for this. Made some changes to the text.
Hello! I’m very thankful for all the great advices you gave, but I’ve been wondering about the suggested stockpiles…
When you say 20 or 99 of each…is that NQ or HQ? I’ve been grinding for 20 HQ of each (and 99 for logs/ores) and it works just fine to level up, it’s slow, but it works :)
Just wanted to know ^^
I do believe it is mix&match as in crafting most items will call for either 1 or more items and you can mix in HQ for higher HQ progress at the start of the craft so its x20 in total in terms of the quest it would be atleast 10HQ for the turn in and just get a total of 30.
This guild helped me get to 60 Botany, so thank you. Some thoughts and corrections.
The collectibles you get at level 52 in Coerthas Western Highlands spawn at 10ET, not 12ET. Also, for the equipment upgrade, I would actually recommend NQ gear except for the tools, those should be HQ. Getting HQ gear is a bit overkill and saves a lot of money if you choose to but them. I believe there are some other times that are wrong but I don’t remember them
Botanist 15: Marjoram (HQ) 15
It only requires 10 (HQ), just did the quest. it only requires 10 now.
got it! thanks!
Chives are at 10 AM/PM not 12…
changed! thanks!
Hello, for lv 55 Quest Item, you need Emerald Bean HQ x 10 :)
Thanks! added “HQ” to the guide. Sorry to have missed it.
Just a heads up, but you can see the nodes in Falcon Nest at level 50 allowing you to gather cedar logs. The guide says you cannot see them until level 51. I was able to see the nodes and gather with a skill of 325 putting the node at 81%. It is far easier and much more lucrative to farm these for a level. The cedar logs are selling for 700+ Gil for normal quality and HQ is going for a minimum of 1400 a log on average on my server so certainly worth it to grind on. Just an fyi.
Aye, it’s impossible for me to give an blanket answer to all people of all servers. What to grind best can change from day to day depending on many things! The things I suggest are those likely to hold the most consistent value.
First of all, thank you forever for all of these guides, which I used to get to 50 and I’m using to get to 60. You’e a hero.
Second, there are two evaluation leves for each level but you only list one. I can help give names to the ones missing, but for the most part there is an 8-node 320 evaluation leve and a 4-node 160 evaluation leve for each tier.
Not that it matters because if your percentage is near 85% using the 100GP ability to raise by 15%, then trying to get 5 of the 7/8 point item and using the chain 4 ability to get the 9 item is easy to do and will result in always getting 25%.
Keep things going!
Thank you! I guess I should list the ‘other’ evaluation leve each.
Please put Coerthan Tea Leaves in the list. It’s at Coerthas Western Highlands, 400 required, 10:00, slot 7
How are we supposed to get to 600 GP? Even with food I wont get there. I’m level 52 with all of the 2.0 Botany gear. I only have 500k Gil. GP materia is silly expensive. You call 600 scrub tier but don’t tell us how to hit 600.
Oh man… not having 600 will severely gimp you. Check the BiS link for an idea.
Was able to get 5 Figs using Toil of Pioneer> Single Mind> Instinctual Appraisal x2, so there does not seem to be a cap of 4 at a node
I see! Although my problem with this is when using single mind, a 3-gather becomes vastly superior to 5 figs…
Its better get more of one item, rather then trying to get higher Collectability.
One fig is iirc , 60k (250), then 66k, then 72k.
Your guide seems to imply that the level 55 gear is from LTW and WVR, when you can just buy it from the moogle vendor in Moghome.
Also, the whole guide could really be cleaned up. There’s a lot of useless fluff and misinformation that others have pointed out that makes it more difficult to understand than needs be. Honestly, I feel like I’d have more success just figuring things on my own than trying to follow this guide.
You can buy it from moghome, yes, you can! BUT – I’m not implying anything. MY ADVICE (wether you choose to follow it or not) is to obtain an HQ set, as it will give you great value in return. Even if you’re just leveling up one class or all 3.
I’m sorry you feel this way, but I can only do things either so quickly, or up to a certain quality. I’m time-bound like the rest of the players. Refinements will be made constantly.
Personally, this guide has been loads of help for me and I’m new to the gathering classes. Without this guide I’d of been rather clueless, so I’m not seeing what other people are. Might have a bit of extra fluff here and there, but it’s been really helpful for a new gatherer.
The 55+ node table shown on this guide is minimg, not botany :P
Oh sorry /fixing
Oh know! I thought you had the mining table there on purpose. It was so helpful because we had both the botany and mining tables on the same page. Please put the mining table back. :) You could technically even re-name this page for both botany and mining since the same advice applies to both!
Oh! Yes which reminds me. The ‘double tables’ belongs in a new guide (for delineation purposes, i guess). Which im going to make very soon. So sorry!
“Botany Collectibles Unlocked
(59?): Morel (Slot 7) | Dravanian Forelands (Lower left)”
Should read Dravanian Hinterlands.
Gotcha! Fixed!
For Morel you need 533 perception to get 2 per node
I did not note the perception i had at the time for a 2x. On this note You need 570~ for a 3 gather!
Also Old World Fig is at 2am/2pm not 12am/12/pm
got it! thanks!
So you have it as 15 HQ Emerald Beans for the 55 quest, it’s actually 10 HQ Emerald Beans for the 55 quest.
Trying to do my first collectible (Old World Figs)…I put the glove on and approach the node at the correct time, but when I open it, it tells me there’s no colectibles available. I’m level 50…
Reveal them first like any item you’ve gathered the first time.
Just letting you know have the Miner’s guild listed under “Before you begin your journey to 60 Botanist” :)
Hnng!!! Fixing!
!!!!COMMENTS BELOW THIS ARE PRE HEAVENSWARD!!!!!
In the botany guide i see “yellow copper ore”…i think is not correct.
FIXERONI! :)
i was wondering,
what’s with gathering all item for 20 pc each?
If you plan to craft, it’s always nice to have at least 20 of these “secondary items”, which will be enough to hit 50 in all classes for the most part.
Are these meant to be HQ items, or NQ? The level 21-25 says to stash 30 Chamomile (15 for quest) but the quest calls for HQ, so now I’m wondering if I’ve been stopping my stash early at 20 NQ instead of 20 HQ for the other levels.
I am on the level 35 quest and the bnt main quest turn in is now 15 Alligator Pears (HQ). Not sure if the patch changed this.
that is the 30 lvl class quest u must have skipped it when u deliver it u will get the 35 one which is 20 high quality Ramhorn Zucchini
I’m at the raincatcher gully docks and I’m looking for the botany locations. I hone in and it tells me that they’re 233 yalms southeast, the thing is, there’s nothing but rock and no where to go in that direction.
Hmm? check again.. maybe its on the costa side?
Thats because your not high enough level? it happened to me when i was lvl 6 and had to go to east vein in central shroud. There was NO trees but the guide told me there was and when when i hone it says 200 yalms away. But after doing some leve quests and lvled up they appeared! :D
when you hone in make sure you look at the small map it will flash yellow leaves in the direction you need to go
im btn30 and in costa del sol….no leves to activate atlvl 30….what am I doing wrong?? :P
Have you gotten onto your adventuring class and done the introductory leve in that town? You cannot do DoH/DoL leves in a town until you complete the first battle leve.
got to be at least a lvl higher than the leves.. so if leves for level 30 got to be 31
Did you unlock them for battlecrafting, if you don’t do that first the levequests for crafting and gathering will not be there.
-Where to find Spruce Log? This quest is a little different, as you’re going to have to be level 50 to complete it (You cannot gather it as a 49 and below botanist)-
This is not true. Just gathered spruce logs as a level 46.
This is not true. Just gathered spruce logs as a level 46.
Lv20 Lush Vegetation Patches at Gridania East Shroud, The Hawthorne Hut area not listed.
– Shroud Seedling
[So I will hunt along with this as normal, 20?]
Tarantula Oak Log and Oak Branch no longer seem to exist, or any botany nodes seem to exist in Lower Paths South Shroud. So probably flax and white truffle are somewhere else too?
I see no mention of the Island Seedling you get from the Lv 20 lush vegetation Patches in Western La Noscrea, Quarterstone. Just figured I’d point that out
Housing items have not been added to this list.
In the Level 35 Botany quest, the 20 Laurel need to be HQ. I love the guide and very much appreciate it! Just trying to be helpful.
Your help is very much appreciated – THANKS!
Yes HQ Laurels! Is there a typo in the guide regarding this? Thanks!
Suggested stock pile just says 20 for the quest. Doesn’t specify HQ. love the guide though.
Not sure they changed or was like this before, but the LV 15 Quest Marjoram the amount needed is 10 HQ (and not 15HQ)
I can confirm this.
What are the stockpiles meant for? Why 119 Crow Feathers and not just 99 for the quest? And why 20 of each? Is it meant to be used for something else later on? Just wondering :) Trying to level up the most effecient way.
I was wondering this myself. Reading through the guide I don’t see anywhere it mentions their purpose.
The things listed as ‘gather extra’ are the things most critical to crafting at that level. Whether you are crafting or if you are having something crafted using your materials. It makes sense to gather a few extra while you are out there than to have to go back because you need a few for your crafting skill.
Thanks for this guide, it’s very helpful!
This site is a little out of whack when it comes to Botany. It lists Obsidian as a Botany quest. It also doesn’t tell you accurately for Marjoram (the level 15 Botany quest). It also says Miner #: next to all of the supposed Botany quest items required for each level. I’ll be finding another guide to follow, one that is more accurate.
The typos are fixed. Thankfully (few) humans continue to update the site – we come with errors. We haven’t been able to develop our own AI to auto-compile, level, proofread and post this stuff yet ;)
Your feedback caused those mistakes to be fixed…for that I’d like to thank you. As for finding another guide to follow, no one cares if you use this or not –buh bye.
As for the guys who are creating the guides on this site. Great job!
Awesome guides all around, keep them coming!
