Botanist 60-70 Guide

Can someone who knows, suggest the fastest way to level? Preferably without leves.

What did you do to reach 70? What steps for each level?

Thank you

Collectibles and evaluation leves from Kugane. You have access to the Beech Branch collectible at level 60, it spawns in the Fringes. Here's a list of the unspoiled 60+ nodes. Then you get access to Bamboo Shoot at 61 and Lotus Root at 66. They spawn right after each other, at 6:00, 8:00 and 10:00 Eorzea Time. I just used the regular collectible rotation with Impulsive procs, and did evaluation leves while waiting for the nodes to spawn. Also made sure to keep Commercial Survival Manuals active at all times.

This method got me from 60 to 70 in about five hours. The i200 gear I had from Heavensward lasted me the entire way with zero issues.

Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to add that my gear is mediocre. Crafted lvl 60, with crafted lvl 57-59 accessories.
I had really hard time, gathering even the easiest collectibles for miner, when I was 60-63.

In that case, I'd either see what gear you can buy with gil in Rhalgr's Reach and Kugane, or save up some red scrips by doing Beech Branch and old Heavensward collectibles so that you can buy the Fieldkeep set in Idyllshire. There is a level 61 set that's decent, but I don't know if it can be bought for gil or if it's only craftable.

Thanks a lot.
Is there a vendor that sells gather gear or should I buy it straight from MB?

There's a vendor for every tier of NQ DoL gear in SB. Rhalgr's Reach has level 62-ish gear (the lowest level DoL gear in the expansion), and Kugane has level 65-ish DoL gear. So you know, the level 65 DoL gear can last you until level 70 - you won't really need better. But if you end up struggling with the harder collectables, there's level 68 DoL gear at...Ala Ghiri, I think it was?

Anyway, the vendor gear is more than good enough to level to 70 in, so just nab those when you can.
