Gathering Guides

This thread is for feedback on our guides for gathering in FFXIV.

Very helpful. It's a start for sure, though there's still a lot to cover, from Ocean fishing to legendaries, quests, tips and tricks,  and more.

Very nice to have IcyVeins covering FF14 now.

Hey guys, just want to point out that at the top of your page you're listing the "last updated" with 2021 instead of 2022.
Thank you for keeping up to date info available for everyone!

Appreciate it, I went through and fixed it. The pages were last reviewed in January of 2022, so they should reflect that now.

Just want to point out a small mistake associated with the collectable gathering skill "Collector's Focus" on the Miner and Botany Skills Guide. Here's your description of the skill:

Collector's Focus increases collectors intuition by 75%. Given the cap is 40%, this means you can guarantee 100% chance.

The 75% increase is actually 75% of 40% (its current chance), which results in a clean 30%. Collector's Intuition max is then 70% chance, not 100%. The correct skill description should therefore be:

Collector's Focus increases collectors intuition by 75% of its current chance. Given the cap is 40%, this means you can obtain a 70% chance max to trigger intuition.

You are completely correct, apologies for missing that one. That change will be pushed onto the site.

Small correction: on section {1.6. Wachumeqimeqi Deliveries -> 1.6.1. Gathering}, the last quest supposedly requires "1x Eternity Ring Material", but that's the delivery for the previous expansion. The correct item for the Dawntrail quest is "1x Azure Fragment", see https://consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Wellspring_of_Tears.

I'd consider swapping Ambitious Lure with Modest Lure - for the two best fish mentioned (Thunderbolt Eel and Fleeting Brand) you're actually wanting to catch the only single tug fish and mooch it (which took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out). Might also be worth spelling out this is how you catch them both reliably using lures.
