The hell was square thinking with mining/botanist.

[RenStark]

I feel the amount of Exp you get with botany and mining is really unbalanced compared to Fishing or any DoH. For example Im currently a level 25 botanist, I get about 180exp per gather (level 24 item) Even if I get all 4 hits it only goes up to 220exp. If I hit a HQ I get about 550 exp. So say on average per node I get 800-900 at best....thats way way way less than the amount I can pull from a level 15 fisher which averages about 1500+ for a non HQ fish and can easily net 3500 on a HQ, which seems to happen a lot more.
To me this seems really bothersome.
I mean when you need 87000 exp to get one level in botany..doing it 180exp at a time is horrible -.-

The less exp, more the mats I get as I level. So instead of rushing to cap miner than farming mats, I can farm them and make money as I level. I grind out all my mining levels for materials.

I think its fine where it is right now true it is kinda Grundy but I don't mind that having good gear ha or at least ma on your lvl with food makes gathering much easier and faster the higher your gathering rate is the faster you gonnal lvl cause of more chains and less fails also food helps a lot the thing a lot of people forget is the importance of hq items and MATERIA in your gear you can easli get exstra 20 gathering succes rate (lvl 28here minner(low cause was buddy beating titan) ) simply by ha items materia and food what makes lvling so much faster also another thing people forget is that we basicly got 2 gathering profesions (im not counting fishing cause you can do qitout it for most things) for like 8 crafting profesions so Ye gathering has to be slow so we can actully supply a decent amount of materials the fact that we gather 1-2 even 3 stacks of a item to lvl up isn't so bad cause if you know what to gather and plan ahead you will make a lot of gill

I just hit 50 fishing yesterday, did no leves at all. I honestly WISH it was more of a grind and took months. I like the challenge and prestige of it. =(

[Avisaia]

If you like the challenge and prestige of it why not work on your luminary rod?


Also fishing is extremely fast to level. Not so with the other two.

I never thought I'd see the day when there was a quest longer than the Lu Shang's rod quest.... I fear that I will fish so much and then be rewarded with something to fish just slightly better with =P lol I will probably go for it eventually, but since there is less economic impact from fishing I don't know how motivating it is. Maybe if there are certain actually-needed fish that only people with those can catch or something (I doubt that will ever happen). Isn't the requirement overall to fish more than like 30,000 times?

I just looked at the rod actually... the exact same stats as my Halcyon Rod... =/

miner does not take long to level. If you use levequest u can get a level under an hour easily even from 45 to 50. Also the luminary pickaxe for example isn't even that hard to get. you can get it in about 70 hours worth of mining.

[Medura]

The thing you guys dont seem to realize, is that yoshi made fishing into a hobby class, while mining and botany stayed the same. Its about 2-3 recipes using fish thats worth your time, how much can you make with mining?

[ClockworkSpectre]

I can't believe anyone is complaining about this, they are easy as hell to level up. Especially if you know how it was in the version 1.0 of this game. If you feel it is to slow use your Leve allowance on Gathering Leves, they provide a nice chunk of exp.

[Riion]

Where are the leves for mining after lvl 15? I'm 25 now and I haven't seen a mining leve since I left Drybone in East Than.
