    Fishing Mining and Botanist needs to be balanced.

    Alright so I am a miner, and a botanist, and well, fishing just gives WAY more exp for pretty much anything. Leves? about 6 times the exp or more than mining/botanty do, plus you can turn them in mutiple times in a row without using an extra leve allowance, When is mining and botanist going to get some love? Because they are by far the worst jobs to level in this game.

    I agree in the sense that all the jobs are easy to level and it makes basically everyone self sufficient, true they are the worst in terms of boring but getting them to 50 requires nay more than like 5-7 days, it does need to be balanced but they all need to be turned down a bit imo.

    More exp for miner and botanist would be great. I agree with you OP. I tried mining in beta 3, but then when I tried fishing in EA I laughed my bottom off. And getting HQ catches seems more often compared to HQ finds as miner, therefore giving 300% more exp.

    On the plus side, at least with mining and botany you can select what you wish to harvest. Fishing is all RNG. Heck, on my JP server character I was nearly level 12 before completing the "catch sardine" quest.

    Fishing does not affect the economy. I believe that is balancing enough.

    ....Except there are certain aspects of fishing that impact culinary, alchemy, and even a few goldsmith and leatherworking receipies.

    That is barely anything compared to the damage that it would cause if mining and botanist was just as easy.

    The concept behind limiting xp is to limit people from playing it. Some people will legitimately never play those classes simply becuase its too much of a time sink. This is a design mechanic, not a flaw.

    Wasn't saying up it to the point its like fishing but maybe 25-50% more exp per successful gather won't hurt too much. I mean even fishing leves give like 6-10x the exp one for mining/botanist do per turn-in, and hell you can BUY the fish for the fishing leve's, as well as sit there and do mutiple turn ins and only use 1 leve allowance. Where as Mining/botanist spawns limited objectives that don't even give more exp per gather than just getting mats normally. Its just brokenly unbalanced and unfair. Also who cares about the ecnomy when nearly the entire game is a damn joke anyway? Relic weapons? takes like no time (compared to simmlar weapons in other mmo's), af? also a complete joke, hitting 50? complete joke. Hell most of the story battles your forced to solo them, so you can't even group for them if you wanted to.
