gathering needs an exp. boost

[Felis]

Depends on where you look. For example, I recently went through the walnut phase on BTN. It's actually cheaper to buy walnut logs than shards, despite them being harder to get, purely because people gather a ton of walnut for xp. Increasing the xp would mean less people flooding the market with low level mats.

There is a leve in gridania where you can turn in 3 times the walnut logs. Give you a lot extra exp and some gil. Of course only if you level up carpenter with your botanist.


About quests for gatherer, you can get the exp reward from side quests and story quests also for your gatherer class. Just switch to your gatherer class before you talk to the NPC to get your reward.
