FFXIV Guide

FFXIV

Tips and Suggestions
-Never use levequest to level your class or job as levequest will be very very very useful later on when leveling your professions.
-Always keep a good supply of grand company seals available as you are able to buy *BONUS EXP SCROLLS* for crafting and gathering therefore a good suggestion is getting at least one character to level 50 before starting professions.
-Always get a full party of eight for fate grinding.
-Levequest are capped at 100 so be sure to use some before you reach the cap.(3 levequest every 12 hours)
-Keep up with your main quest if it your first character as you will need it to travel to other zones! such as aleport.
-Join free company with 5% exp boost to help level faster.

Classes
Leveling By Fates
Leveling your first character to 50
*Starting zone for this section includes places like north shroud levels 1-10 than levels 10-15 at hawthorne hut.  Similar to central thanalan for level 1-8 and than western thanalan 8-15.
*From level 45 onwards there is a quest in Northern Thanalan called Dark Devices. If this fate is done correctly it can earn you up to 200k exp.

Leveling 16 - 20 : http://imgur.com/a/DKWgZ#0 Maps
These maps do not belong to us, but are incredibly well done by a FFXIV player.

Zone	Level		Item
Central Shroud	1	6	Maple Log
Central Shroud	6	11	Ash Log
Central Shroud	11	16	Elm Log
East Shroud	16	21	Yew Log
Upper La Nosca	21	26	Noble Grapes or Chamoline
South Shroud	26	31	Walnut Log > Pigments and Crystals
South Shroud	31	36	Flax and Oak Log
East La Nosca	36	41	Iron Acorn
Coerthat Central Highlands	41	46	Mirror Apple
Southern Thanalan	46	50	Thanalan Tea Leaves
East Shroud	46	50	Rosewood Log

*Please note the items farmed were the items that gave the best exp and were able to sell in the market board for some profit. These items are also used in leves and profession leveling.
*Walnut log over pigment and crystals at level 26-31 due to the fact that walnut logs actually give HQ item whilst pigments and crystals do not give any HQ item. 
*Levels 46 - 50 is a long stretch so to speed up the process use some levequest with exp boost !! to move the leveling experiencing along.

We will add coordinates for each item later on, but for now enjoy leveling your botanist  ! 

The Botanist Guide is still being currently worked on !!! please give us some time =]
