    What gear are you using?

    Well i plan on getting 50 BTN over the weekend and i'm still using low level gear, i was wondering what kind of gear you 50s were using? Right now i'm stacked Output, around 110 i think at 46, other 2 are in the 60s. I'm not going to use melded gear and i've heared stacking Perception isn't a good idea. Any help is appreciated.

    Woolen Doublet of Strength
    Raptorskin Culottes of Intelligence ( INT meld)
    Raptorskin Survival Belt
    Dated Lined Gaiters (+17 gathering )
    Felt Work Gloves of Strength ( w/ Str Meld)
    Serpentcarriers ring
    the +5 gathering and +5 perception earring and necklace (cant remember the names right now)

    To Maximize attempts(8/node) on Grade 5 Nodes you need 140 Output. To have a decent rate of success you need atleast 110 gathering and perception should be bumped as high as possible. Dont forget to Get STR and INT. INT increase number of items gathered and str increase success rate.

    Raptorskin Jerkin +1, Boots +1, Cullotes +1, Choker +1 and Survival Belt +1.

    Felt Coif of Toiling +1

    Felt Work Gloves +1

    Serpentcarrier's Ring

    Lilly and Serpent Ring

    Electrum Earings+1

    Militia Bracelets

    Horned Hatchet +1

    Dated Steel Scythe(Just haven't upgraded it yet)

    I think 140 is over-stacking output for max node attempts

    I wish it was, I actually settle for 7 attempts per node just so I can have higher Perception.

    Militia Bracelets are extremely rare so don't worry about them too much if you're just hitting 50, same with the Hamlet Cutter's Hat.

    As far as I know, STR for Botanist only reduces the variance in where items are in the 2nd phase of the gathering minigame. Since you can look up or memorize where items are located, and there is insignificant if any variance at all at level 50 no matter where you go, it's not a big deal to ignore it if you can't afford or get ahold of pieces with STR on them.

    That said, it might not be a bad idea to invest in it when you get the chance as it will probably become much more useful when they revamp gathering.

    I'd be really curious to know what the numbers for HQ pulls are with axe of the luminary, militia bracelets, hamlet cutters hat and militia scythe... chances of someone having all of those would be rare.. super botanist

    My gear set:

    -Explorers Bandana
    -Horned Hatchet +1 (+5 perception materia)
    -Mythril Scythe +1
    -Woolen Doublet Str +1
    -Vintage Sheperds Belt +1
    -Felt Work Gloves Str +1 (+20 strength materia)
    -Raptorskin Culottes +1
    -Linen Gaiters
    -Raptorskin Choker +1
    -Electrum Earrings +1
    -Flamecarriers Ring

    Totals: Gathering 110 / Perception 157 / Output 100
    *7 Attempts*

    ^ I think getting most of that gear Avraamii pointed out is doable. I mean on our server the Militia Scythe was going for 700k at one point...when I wasnt bothering to gather go figure lol (waiting for the price drop before I buy it) and Cutters hat is around 200k. Out of all those I think Luminary Axe would be the most time consuming.

    ~Special thanks to Kaedi Latro for making most of my HQ gear ~
