Final Fantasy XIV Wikibase™ Classes

The botanist's profession encompasses the procurement of resources from all forms of plant life. This includes harvesting various vegetables and grains, tending to fruit-bearing trees, gathering wild grasses, cultivating fibrous plants for use in textiles, cutting lumber to supply the carpentry trade, and more.

This wide range of raw materials draws the custom of various other guilds, notably the Carpenters', Weavers', Alchemists', and Culinarians'. Botanists also attempt to educate others about the importance of achieving a symbiotic relationship with Eorzea's plants, rather than carelessly stripping them of their useful parts. This is perhaps best exemplified by the revolutionary irrigation methods devised by Gridania, which first made low-impact, high-yield crop propagation possible. The primary tool of the botanist is the hatchet.

Logging

Logging is done with the Botanist's Primary Tool, the hatchet. Equip a hatchet in your Main Hand and your job will change to Botanist.

When you first begin Botany, one of the first things to do is to accept a Botanist's guildleve. This will give you the chance to learn how to log while also earning experience points and skill points. Logging requires you to play a little game in order to bring down items from the various trees in Eorzea.
