The hell was square thinking with mining/botanist.

[Cocytus]

Why do these 2 jobs feel like the most massive grind I have ever done in a mmorpg in recent years? I mean I think the exp per hit needs to be alot higher, because my friend with fishing can get like 6000 exp for 1 hq fish, and he gets it obscenly often, meanwhile we get way less than that for an hq. Any plans to fix this? because these 2 classes just level ungodly slow.

Its not so much its slow its more the fact how stupidly boring it is to level them. Anyway Any tips other than do leve's leves don't help all that much, I mean they do help but meh.

Is this a bad time to say the level 45 leve were you turn in La Noscian Toast and they are all 9 HQ will give you 350,000 exp for 1 leve credit?.... Or 120,000 for NQ ones.

Just saying I agree with you on the DoL exp rates but trust me DoH are much more out of control than fishing, or should I say maybe botany and mining are the odd two classes out of the pack. Not sure.

Well, I know what I'm using my 94 leve's on. The ones I used to finish up getting 50 MIN gave me 40k at best.

Yea, gathering leves were never equal to crafting leves

Although, with leves of a higher level getting massive EXP on DoL isnt that hard.

I personally get leves that are my level or cap over my level and max them out to +5 difficulty and farm the lower end of the leve til i an move to the highest ingredient, which givs you massive amounts of EXP for each attempt that you're hitting. Just dont do anything stupid like trying to hit the level 25 material at level 18.

people feel its a grind because they look at the EXP from 1 item with thease two you add it up for all 5 you get so if you get say 500 per item and you do it 5 times you get 2500 exp and besides this is gathering if not its ment to feel grindish... also you have leves you can do and the daylys.

I am going to start using mining as a time-out for my son when he's being a brat.
That'll teach 'em.

has anyone made a macro for botanist? Pressing X 4 times is getting old lol, If anyone have can you put what you did for the command, I can't seem to get one to work

1000 char

I don't think anyone in this thread has made that mistake. At 24, each attempt gives 200 exp. You aren't even guaranteed to get that exp. 800 is the exp when you get everything from the mine. I need to perfectly mine 100 nodes to progress one level in mining at 24. I dread what it's like in the higher levels. You say it's a grind, and sure it is - it's a grind regardless of how much experience is needed. Also the exp doesn't increase as much as you would think. At level 14 iron ore, I was getting 160 exp. 10 level difference is only 40 exp while requiring almost 4 times as much. I can’t imagine what it will be like at level 40 when you need 300k exp.

Earlier someone mentioned them doing this to prevent mass items on the market or flooding the market with items - how on earth does this help? Seriously? It does the complete opposite. I need to mine 400 items of something for /one/ level, and there are 5 levels per tier.

Hmm. Just starting on the game, and I gotta say as a newbie miner I'm enjoying the fact that I'm watching a few series while mining. I can't even imagine how tedious it is for people who do it with full heart, though.

[FrogDog]

I'm currently leveling botany and mining to feed my DoH classes. Each is 27-28 and even at this level it feels unbearably slow and tedious. While gathering I'm not really playing the game, just watching tons of stuff on Netflix.

They got rid of it because it was moderately annoying. While it's not all that exciting to just hit 'enter', it's better than sitting at a node for two minutes because you're reliant on the little bubble to land on precisely the exact spot just to be able to gather four or five logs. I do, however, think they should have kept the random shard drops from gathering. The current shard/crystal/cluster acquisition is not acceptable.
