Chop....ash branch..wtf? I don't have the ingredients to make stuff with an ash branch, I'm planning to make stuff with logs ARGH.

The video shows 80% on all the items so I'm assuming that you click what you want and each item has an 80% rate of drop. Now I can specifically target my ash logs and continue whacking away. Yes I might miss, like that guy missed on the wind shard, but it looks like you've got at least 5 harvests so there's plenty tries. ME LIKEY!

To the guy saying it's a vending machine. Now we may have a vending machine, but before we had a put your quarter in and hope you get what you want. Because if you didn't use third party sites to figure out what you wanted, you weren't getting it. Which I didn't mind, but some people may.
ya, and worst case scenario in 1.0 was trying to get catalysts, if you didnt visit some site, and knew they only drop in Thanalaan. i gathered like 300+ nodes in Limsa trying to get any. so either visit a site, or explore all nodes in the world, printing down what they drop im thinking it will still be like that, so you'll need to go to a specific map, to get some certain material. but at least you'll see that you CAN get it.
