    Will there be Grade 6 gathering nodes in 2.0?

    This has always been frustrating and my sense of frustration is renewed now that I'm trying to level BTN again.

    It was great the DoH got recipes beyond 50 -- I thought for sure DoL would also get Grade 6 nodes. Never happened.

    I think SE threw us some already chewed on bones to help with the xp but its not the same as actually having some appropriately leveled nodes to gather from.

    Will SE drop the ball again with 2.0 or will this be included from the start? I might wait to finish lvling my BTN....

    Hmmmm...these probably disappeared with the endgame Straw Hats and the Closer Thanalan Gathering Points

    Most of the Gathering stuff was pushed into 2.0.

    At this point we can only hope I guess. Personally, I want to be optimistic that it has been, but so far SE hasn't done anything to prove that DoL is going to get any more attention than it has in the past two years.

    I think that 2.0 will see great changes to DoL. I believe SE has mentioned plans to make changes but of course I can't find anything now.

    I really hope that grade 6 nodes will be included with 2.0 if not some other changes that make them obsolete. In FFXI the different fishing spots didn't really have a grade (or level) and the skill gains were based on what you caught. Something like this could be implemented in XIV as well making it based on what you catch and not where you are. This would make things like finding the right location/bait/rod combination a lot more interesting. Remember when you had to use a certain size of rod for certain size of fish? A Clothespole would not get many Moat Carps... the fish is to small to catch with this pole. And other fish would simply break the rod if it was to small. Fishing in FFXIV is super simple compared to XI. They could really make a lot of changes. I don't think they should copy XI... that's not what I want but it would be nice to have some more options other than just grade and level. Highest level rod in XIV will ALWAYS be the best rod and bait/lures don't really matter that much. Sure some fish may prefer certain bait but not enough to really make a difference.

    I can't translate this into how it should work for BOT and MIN but something similar could probably be made.

    We haven't heard any specifc news yet aside from vague indications that the whole system is being overhauled. This is reflected by the fact that on the new game website, disciples of the land and hand are still marked as "coming soon".

    That being said, the gathering achievements specific to grades have not been marked for removal, suggesting plans are to continue having graded gathering locations. So the OP's question remains a very valid one.

    They have previously said that the day grade 6 nodes reappear will be the same day level 51 is attainable.

    Well, as Hiir pointed out they did recognize the need to add Grade 6 for lvl 40+ gatherers, so I think that statement has been made obsolete.

    They probably had not intended to add level 51+ recipes until DoH had a limit break either but that obviously changed. I'm just saying its not fair that DoM,DoW,DoH all have enhanced ways to level 40+ and DoL gets crap.

    Just buy lots of gathering xp scrolls with your new found capped seals from atomos and spams leves, you can lvl from 40 to 50 on gathering in a day.
