So over the weekend I've been leveling Botanist with the rest of my FC in an attempt to push and make some money so we can get our FC House. I've been post-main story for almost a week and have only really just began exploring all the new 2.2 content, so the prospect of putting all that on hold to go out and chop wood, seemed pretty dumb at the time. But I had no idea how addicting being a Botanist would be! FFXIV has become "Wood Cutter XIV" to me now! Still trying to figure out the best way to maximize profits from gathering, but I'm thinking of taking up weaving to help make some more money with the mats I gather. But all that aside, this is a whole aspect to the game I never thought I'd enjoy. I play on the PS3, so I just set up my laptop next to my recliner and turn on Netflix or YouTube and Skype and chat with friends, and watch movies and anime and just kind of zone out while I farm. Quite honestly, this is the most chilled out I've been in a while with the game. Really glad I decided to jump on the gathering train. Next step: make that money and get that house!
