gathering needs an exp. boost

[RyuujinZERO]

I call bs.

He probably had like 99 leves and a bazillion seals lying about (to buy xp manuals), plus gathering food and guild xp buff.

But still point as posted by other people does stand, disciple of the land classes can be levelled at a reasonable pace provided you use all the options at your disposal - books, leves, food, etc. and make sensible use of the resources (ie. don't waste time trying to farm stuff that is so far above your gear and class level that you fail a large portion of harvesting attempts). I've heard people saying before "man I had to grind trees for hours just to gain 2 levels, SOOO mind numbing", but then insist they want to save their leves and seals.
