gathering needs an exp. boost

[Ruminate]

Even including open beta, the game has barely been out a month and level 39 Gatherers are complaining that it takes too long to level. Seriously?

If anything they level up far too fast considering that, unlike with the battle classes, as soon as you hit 50 its over. Gathering classes don't exactly have endgame content after all.

....are people really this daft? You gather for supplies, you don't gather for the sake of gathering.

i found a quest u can turn in 100 times easily for 500k BUT ITS SO HARD TO MAKE MONEY IN THIS GAME

May I ask which one please?

Depends on where you look. For example, I recently went through the walnut phase on BTN. It's actually cheaper to buy walnut logs than shards, despite them being harder to get, purely because people gather a ton of walnut for xp. Increasing the xp would mean less people flooding the market with low level mats.

There is a leve in gridania where you can turn in 3 times the walnut logs. Give you a lot extra exp and some gil. Of course only if you level up carpenter with your botanist.


About quests for gatherer, you can get the exp reward from side quests and story quests also for your gatherer class. Just switch to your gatherer class before you talk to the NPC to get your reward.

Um... not really sure what your post has to do with mine, besides the obvious insult you tossed towards me.

You can't really deny that the content for Gatherers ends as soon as you reach 50. The battle classes have endgame dungeons and gear to work for. Gatherers have literally nothing to look forward to.

If you seriously think gathering needs a exp boost you are mental when I lvled miner and bot in 1.0 it took a retarded amount of time to lvl gathering classes the exp now received seems like its actually too much be happy they increased it and quick you rambling.

I actually agree and only because the slow pace of levelling is causing a massive excess of gathered items and driving prices down.

It's not good for the economy in general.

I levelled all my gathering classes in 1.0 and it was insanely slow but the system was different and more randomised with the items you received which off set the economical problems that ARR is suffering from.

Gatherers are getting treasure hunting in 2.1.

I think it's fine the way it is. You should have to work for your gatherer exp. We dont want a ton of lv50 gatherers running about....lv50 should be earned accordingly. Its not rewarding otherwise.
Pick the higher level mines, go for HQ mines, use gather food, gather gear, do leves and get the grand company books that give exp bonuses.
The exp gain for miners and other gatherers is just fine.

I took both my botanist and miner from 35-40 in 4 hours which I thought was fine, 2 hours to get from 35-40 on each seemed reasonable to me. Maybe a bit fast if I am honest.

Do Leves.

its fine.. went from 1-32 in 5 hours. Something rewarding should take at least some time.
