Leviling mining

[ZellSantal]

I have just gotten my mining up to level 60 and finished story quest for mining as well. After that however I didn't get no other quest of where to go next to start Stormblood mining quests. I have a max level paladin so I have done all the main story so far. So could anyone help me out of where I should go from here? Also being that 4.2 is around the corner what cap do I need for Gathering, Perception, and GP? I plan to do this for the other gatherings but I rather get one at a time done if you know what I mean

I believe it ends in Ishgard, correct?

If so just go back to the miners guild in Ul'dah. It begins there.

Thanks guys, that did help me out were to go next. Though still wondering about the stats cap of what I should be with that when I get to the end of it and what Materia should I put on my gear?

I used red scrips on the augmented gear from Idyllshire and used that all the way to 70. From there I had enough stats to start farming yellow scrips. Don't bother with Leves and just do the collectibles. If you already have the augmented gear I would recommend still scrip farming and use those scrips to buy Rowenas tokens in Reach and then once you get 50 buy the books. You need 2500 Red Scrips for each book for a total of 5000 red scrips. The yellow scrip gear will get you by for awhile unless you have cash on hand to buy Ala Mhigan gear. I didn't have the cash so I went yellow scrips and am beginning to craft my own tools.

The 290 HQ gear is better than the scrip gear but again not everyone has excess cash. I personally wouldn't spend too much on 60 gear or materia for that matter if you can get the 60 Augmented gear at no cost.

For stats the generally accepted "threshold to aim for" is 1050 gathering, 1200 perception and 700 GP. You can't reach this without melding if you're wearing crafted gear (I don't know what stats the yellow scrip gear provides if you wear the whole set and Ariyala's site isn't working right for me ATM)

For 70 I agree with you and you cannot reach that with yellow scrip gear.

Is there no way to get Ariyala' to show you the final values for your stats after material is applied? It seems to only show the sum of materia applied, at least for MIN/BTN. Am I missing something obvious?

It should be at the bottom of the page.

For me it keeps showing me a blank, not sure why. However I have tried doing the scirp farming but it seems I am doing something wrong. I have done the quests in order to do the collectables, however when I tried to a few of them the icons didn't light up. I was mining Adamantite Ore and nothing changed nor any of the icons lit up. For a normal nod I was doing Gyr Abanian Alumen which is on the list for the most exp. However I minded and tried turning it in and still say I have none, so what steps do I have to do here? I have watch some videos but I still not understanding why the Icons would not light up still so am I still to low of in stats or what? As it stands other then my GP 558, the rest are below 500, more like 450ish.
