How do unlock gathering in Shadowbringers?

[project359]

I’ve opened all quests in Crystarium but when I switch to Miner or Botanist, I can find no nodes to gather from. All I can do is fish.

What am I missing?

[Doozer]

Are you still 70 or 71? Usually you have to reach level x1 in order to see new nodes, I think.

[project359]

Ah, still 70 on them so that could be why. Back to Leves it is then

[Doozer]

Yeah it's kind of silly that it works that way. I think it works similarly with later level groups, like you'll have to be 76 to see the next set of nodes.

[project359]

Ah, it’s working now. Node lit up in Norvrandt. Must have just been in the wrong zone

I was able to gather at 70, but have only ever found nodes in Amh Araeng.

Edit: at 71 I could see L75 nodes.

The only nodes I’ve found so far that can be accessed at level 70 have been ephemeral nodes. One for mining, one for botany.

Now that I know when and where they are, I’m going to be hitting them up a LOT for my miner and botanist.

In Stormblood you could mine & gather one set of 4 nodes each in the Fringes at 60. I remember this explicitly, because it's what I spent my time doing while blocked by Raubahn's Wall.

So far in ShB I've not found a single node I can harvest at 70, other than fishing - which can only fish freshwater so far, but seemingly multiple places with that. It's a jarring disparity. :/

I had no problems gathering in the new zones aside from finding the nodes at first. Make sure you do the levequests, 4-5 of them will get you to 71.

I have only found regular nodes, as I said in Amh Araeng.

Edit: At 71 you can see L75 nodes and even timed ones.
