    Botany takes too long

    I don't want a jump potion or anything, I just don't like it, but I had to level it because I can't afford buying a lot of flax.

    It took 18 hours spamming levequests and wasting my GC seals on survival manuals just to get to 30 and the next 30 levels are just going to take longer.

    Any advice?)

    What's the rush? Do GC turn ins, leve quests... gather, sell, get rich. I did. If you're going to craft you're better be able to gather the mats you need. People get rich selling them. While you're at it level mining as well.

    50-60 are by far the fastest when it comes to leveling crafting or gathering since you can do scrip bonuses. So that last bit will take a fraction of the time.

    But yeah leves and GC turn ins are your best bet to get past 50 fast. Just be sure to turn in hq items to the gc, esp if they are starred, whenever you are able.

    Make sure you're doing the right levequests. It's been a long time since I maxed out Miner and Botanist, so I don't remember exactly how those quests work, but the levequests where you're trying to get the best score/grade are by far the most efficient for leveling. And of course make sure you have plenty of Cordials. Even with cordials, you're going to have down time while you wait for your GP to build back up, so you might want to have a YouTube video or something you can flip to for a minute. Oh, and don't bother doing those levequests without full GP, it's not worth it unless you're getting the highest grade possible.

    You seem very negative about the situation. Leveling botanist and miner are quite fast if doing the correct level leves and the right way. Also why are you using GC seals for the manuals if find it such a waste?

    If botanist mat is listened in the GC supply list with a star, and you don't have enough of it as HQ, then buy HQ from the market board.
    HQ give double exp, star give double exp, so both give 4 time exp.

    And finish the botanist/miner entries in the challenge log (gather 100 normal and 30 HQ items) as a botanist

    Are you doing the levequest right? Levelquest offer a huge boost in xp so if you are using the quantity abilities to make the get x quantity of items go quicker you are only causing yourself to miss out on a lot of xp.

    I don't know if it's changed, but personally I find the leveqquest where you have to go to X amount of nodes and get Y amount of mats and the Y amount levequest to be the best bang for your buck, because each hit you get gives you a lot of xp. Other than that the other thing you can do is just always go back and unlock any gather items you haven't gotten yet and just go from there.

    Make sure you do evaluation leves if they are available. They offer the most bonus exp if you complete them fast enough.

    DoH/DoL leveling is WAY too fast already. I didn't do a single gathering leve and 2/3 of my DoL classes were 60 before any of my battle classes. Poor fisher got a bit neglected around lvl55
