Newb botanist Questions!

Everyone started this game in the same position. The players who understand this game actually took the time to figure out how things work through research in-game and online. You might want to try a little of that yourself if you aren't willing to listen to the posters here when they give you the information you asked for.

If FFXIV is too hard for you to figure out, you might want to look into Tic-Tac-Toe instead. It's been around for a while, so there are probably a lot of good guides and wikis online. It is a lot less complicated than FFXIV, so you could probably master the basics in 3-4 weeks tops.

Goodluck.
