Leviling mining

I have just gotten my mining up to level 60 and finished story quest for mining as well. After that however I didn't get no other quest of where to go next to start Stormblood mining quests. I have a max level paladin so I have done all the main story so far. So could anyone help me out of where I should go from here? Also being that 4.2 is around the corner what cap do I need for Gathering, Perception, and GP? I plan to do this for the other gatherings but I rather get one at a time done if you know what I mean

I believe it ends in Ishgard, correct?

If so just go back to the miners guild in Ul'dah. It begins there.

Adalberta in Uldah.

Thanks guys, that did help me out were to go next. Though still wondering about the stats cap of what I should be with that when I get to the end of it and what Materia should I put on my gear?

I used red scrips on the augmented gear from Idyllshire and used that all the way to 70. From there I had enough stats to start farming yellow scrips. Don't bother with Leves and just do the collectibles. If you already have the augmented gear I would recommend still scrip farming and use those scrips to buy Rowenas tokens in Reach and then once you get 50 buy the books. You need 2500 Red Scrips for each book for a total of 5000 red scrips. The yellow scrip gear will get you by for awhile unless you have cash on hand to buy Ala Mhigan gear. I didn't have the cash so I went yellow scrips and am beginning to craft my own tools.

The 290 HQ gear is better than the scrip gear but again not everyone has excess cash. I personally wouldn't spend too much on 60 gear or materia for that matter if you can get the 60 Augmented gear at no cost.

For stats the generally accepted "threshold to aim for" is 1050 gathering, 1200 perception and 700 GP. You can't reach this without melding if you're wearing crafted gear (I don't know what stats the yellow scrip gear provides if you wear the whole set and Ariyala's site isn't working right for me ATM)

For 70 I agree with you and you cannot reach that with yellow scrip gear.

Is there no way to get Ariyala' to show you the final values for your stats after material is applied? It seems to only show the sum of materia applied, at least for MIN/BTN. Am I missing something obvious?

It should be at the bottom of the page.

For me it keeps showing me a blank, not sure why. However I have tried doing the scirp farming but it seems I am doing something wrong. I have done the quests in order to do the collectables, however when I tried to a few of them the icons didn't light up. I was mining Adamantite Ore and nothing changed nor any of the icons lit up. For a normal nod I was doing Gyr Abanian Alumen which is on the list for the most exp. However I minded and tried turning it in and still say I have none, so what steps do I have to do here? I have watch some videos but I still not understanding why the Icons would not light up still so am I still to low of in stats or what? As it stands other then my GP 558, the rest are below 500, more like 450ish.

You need to turn on collectables which is like a stance, nothing will light up. Then you need to do the rotation which is easily found for your stats if you google it.

If you unlocked collectables but nothing shows up on your bar just open the actions tab and drag drop them down. They don't just appear when you unlock it.

If I follow the link you gave, there's a numbers at the bottom. If I go to Ariyala's and pick "Disciples of the Land" and pick gear (I'm picking i290-i300 stuff), there's no numbers at bottom except 400 for GP. If I add materia, the blank boxes at bottom change to be the sum of the material I've added. I'm super confused.

If you are clicking on the circles that is only marking the item. Click by the item name so it highlights. This will be the gear you have selected. The marks throw me off as well.

The problem I've been having with Ariyala's is that the numbers displayed are incorrect. I have checked it against multiple gear sets I have in game and it's always off by about 10-15. Not sure what that's about but it's a huge pain.

Glad it worked for you. You can also save gear sets at the bottom to get the link.

Have you changed the race at the bottom? That can skew results from what you are seeing in game. If that is not it then I'm not entirely sure what might be causing it. I haven't seen any differences on the sets I have checked.

Even the race is the same, though races have no impact on gathering/crafting stats.

Did in 2.x. Main stats like STR and INT counted on some L50 nodes. As a keeper I had to meld STR, not much though. Low level in 3.x often had an elemental component that neded a meld.

So with no melding at all, the new augmented yellow script set puts one at 1264 gather, 1196 perception and 676 gp. I guess melding to the belt will put you over the perception requirement.

So I guess if overmelding is out of the price range, you are looking at a long long yellow scrip grind.

I was able to grind out the yellow scrips required for all the gear in about a day so it isn't too bad if it is just now the upgrade costs.
