Help for new MIN

[EvianEverdeen]

Hello all, new MIN here, just got 50 today, have all of my HQ gear, but I am looking for some information. Can anyone post me a link to a guide or spreadsheet that has all of the unspoiled node locations (updated with patch 2.3) and that also lists if the item is 1-star or 2-star (saw one posted a while ago, but can't find it now)? Being new and unmelded (planning on melding this weekend at some point, pending gil funds), it's difficult to tell what I can gather or not from plain old google lists, until I show up and everything is 0%...

Also, I am wondering what is your rotation/method when you get to a node? What do you usually start with and use while you gather unspoiled nodes to maximize returns? Thanks for the help!

Theres a community site i believe called
Xivclock.
It has time, location and slot # for every node up to date.
Only thing it doesnmt show is the gathering requirements.
Also a small tip is to set your in game clock to eorzea time.

You should have a skill on your bar by now that will reveal all of the contents of the high level nodes. It is best to wait for your new gear to sprint bond with you before you try to meld it or some of the melds may fail and that is very expensive if you are using IV materia which you will have to get more than the 0 chance for the high items. There are a number of threads about the best melds and way to gear up but it is expensive and not easy to do. Good luck.

as for the locations, there are excellent lists around but i hate to post them here to spoil others. Keep looking.
