Is there a power level guide for BTN & MIN?

[Amiantos]

Did that. glad they changed it.
But if you wanna talk tedious, at least this isn't one of those games where nodes are shared...*shudder*

I remember starting in FFXI and getting scolded for taking a persons node. One of my first experiences in that game lol. Also FFXI Fishing...200 fish cap per day with diminishing quality after about 100, or was it 250?

Yep, they don't even have a clue....If they had to gather like we did in 1.0 they would go screaming into the night......

What? I loved gathering in 1.0.

Now if they had to CRAFT like we did in 1.0 on the other hand...

nope i would never have done it. 1.0 was a horrible design. you also shouldnt assume we "dont have a clue" whats tedious and mind numbing to me might not be for another person.

Turn in HQ gathered stuff to your GC daily. Even if you have to buy from mb. Extra bonus if it's starred too.

I leveled my miner from 30 to 50 with provisioning, bot 46 - 50 with provisioning and fishing 25 - 41 with provisioning.

Generally only turned in hq items when they were reasonably priced on the mb. It took a while but considering I never had to actually go out and do gathering leves I'm pretty happy with the result and it took very little effort, basically just go to GC and check what items are needed and then buy them off MB and turn them in once a day.

All said and done I would say I made enough from my daily dungeons gil wise to afford the items I had to turn in on the mb.

For people who simply like jobs at 50 but don't like gathering and find it useless I highly recommend provisioning.

What I did was eat food, use the GC exp buff, and hit up those Leves. Also find the highest level item you can gather and gather up that(if leves are unavailable). The first time you gather an item there's a 1 time exp buff as well.

HQ daily GC turn ins give great exp too, especially when they are on bonus.

Still working on it myself but I got to ~45 very quickly using:
HQ GC provision turn-ins
30% XP Bonus Leves
Gathering food XP buff

When Leves get too "grindy" check the Mining Guild quests. You'll need to get HQ items from nodes from a different location.
