Please allow us to attain 100% SP from damaging an item.

I'm sick and tired of Square Enix telling me how long I can level my Botanist for. After a couple of hours not only do we start to damage everything, but we get half SP for it. I wouldn't even care that I'm not yeilding anything as long as I can continue to get full SP. It's going to take me at least 20 days of playing every day at this rate to get from 40 to 50 and considering how much I play, it should take less than half of that.

LMAO, 20 days.

R40-50 is 866k SP

Since you are stuck capped at grade 5 trees, you will be getting ~100 SP per success soon enough, and later on its 80-90.
Towards the end, your fatigue will hit between 15-20k SP for the day.

So, 866k, if you grind no less then 20k per day, which you can at first, but will not be able to towards the end, you will take no less then 44 days.

Just look at it this way, considering all SP to R50, R40 is roughly halfway.
This is made worse however for BTN/MIN because your options for gaining SP are lower, and only get worse towards 50.

Good to know! /wrists. FFFFUUUUU Square Enix

If you get 100% SP from everything than where is the challenge in it? *sigh* :(

There is really no point in grinding Mining or Botany past 45 at most. There are no Gr.6 trees to worry about moving up to and even then at 45 you will be in your prime for those new spots, will have access to new leves when they are made, and have a decent ammount of swings for much, much better SP returns.

I'm personally sitting on 43 Botanist and have no real desire to level beyond that until Gr.6 nodes are introduced, getting sub 100SP isn't worth my time with the extremly high TNL's.

I guess you're right. Honestly tho, that could be a loooong time. I wonder if the delay is due to the possible addition of furniture for company housing in the *crosses fingers* near future?

This is so dumb, I went from 19-20.6 and I can't gain anymore items, I can't gain anymore than half sp. How am I suppose to get to 28 Bot so I can start higher level trees to give me mats for my carp. Really this is just dumb.

If your only getting 20k SP per day you might want to rethink what your doing. I average around 40-50k per day before i start breaking and have had days around 80k at full break.

I understand the issue of people getting too many items through DoL, but it would be nice to get the same SP (as mentioned in other threads). I love Botany and would like to see it develop further.
