gathering leveling system

If you don't feel the reward is worth the effort, why are you doing something you don't enjoy?
If you feel the reward is worth the effort, why are you here complaining?

I love the system but I also like grindfests. Also if you plan on crafting just grinding out mats is a huge plus.

If your not using properly the leves, and dont have money or crafting classes for hq items then it may be a bit slow. But then why are you leveling gathering in such hurry?, just take it slowly, still if ores/plants not sold so well in all servers it solds at good rate, else just farm crystals to sell and buy your hq set.

btw red scripts for gathering are not hard, just keep right time and collection rotation/enough gps. If you have min/btn/fsh those are not hard, but it needs some good grind fest to reach it.

The lower levels I picked an ore (let's say Mythril), grabbed a TV show, headed to the area (SoThan), and ran in circles for maybe five hours.
Got lots of ore.
Got lots of gil.
Got levels.
Repeat on next ore step.
Silver > Mythril > Electrum > Cobalt
After fifty it's a joke.
