The Fieldcraft leves give a good amount of EXP so I do them first, and then start gathering at the open world mining spots. You can't continuously mine the same spot, so you'll need to locate 3 spots and just cycle through them until exhausted -- the mining spots, or you. ^^;

In the very beginning you may need to sell whatever you mine to an NPC since the value and demand are quite low in the market wards.

Once you go up in level a bit, I think that Iron Ore and Silver Ore are not super valuable, but sell well and can be a good starting source of income.

Electrum, Mythril, Cobalt, Rose Gold Ore and Darksteel Ore are more valuable but you'll have to get up in level before you can start mining those. HQ versions are in higher demand.

You could also take up Blacksmithing, Armor crafting or Goldsmithing and turn the raw materials into intermediate materials (ingots) and sell those.

Good luck!
thanks for the info and the congrats for getting PLD50! And what I was thinking of doing is leveling up Blacksmith as well with mining!
