Just got level 50 MIN, now what?

[GenJoe]

Thanks for all the tips! I now have 323 gathering and 324 perception.
I think I'm going to use IV materia mostly on the accessories untill I can mine HQ Umbral Rocks.

So melding untill I get these stats from Lyzern: 353 Gather 332 Preception.
Could this be a good start? Maybe use food to get better stats for the HQ mining. And after I've done that meld further for the 2-3 stars rocks..?

You really don't need to use any tier IV materia for gatherer gear... That's why gatherer materia are cheap to begin with, not enough demand or need for tier IVs.. You can if you'd like, it WILL help make the grind go faster if you have more stats. But that's only if you have enough gil for it..
