Advanced botany, what am I supposed to do with all these skills?

[Highlow]

I tried collectibles and gave up. I spent days going over and testing and finally just said fuckit and grinded and used a few leve's to go from 51-63 in botany and mining... fishing i got to 57 and just no... can't do it. Getting to 600 with HQ gear would cost over 1m gil which I can't justify blowing just to go for 3-4 levels vs using the white garbage at the appropriate level.

The only extra buttons I use are the ones that give 2 extra resources I tend to blow on whatever i'm farming when I get an extra gathering turn. I use the 50% chance increase when i get to new nodes. If I don't really care for the grinding mat i blow the extra items on crystals as lightning and wind ones are expensive AF.
