Botany advice?

[Zynn]

You were naked because level 1 botanist can't equip your level 17 conjuger stuff.

Gathering classes get a skill around level 10 to hide from aggressive monsters (it slows you down though), so you don't need your conjuger spells to defend yourself

I shouldn't be able to wear level 17 botanist gear. I am a level 17 conji, and should still be allowed to wear that gear. The logic behind this is lost.
