I have no idea if this is up to date but in 30 minutes you seriously answered every question that literally every other "EXPLANATION" video on what exactly gathering is FAILED to do, in about 1/3 of the time and about 1000000% more clearly.
Neat visual detail with fishing - once you've cast, you can type /sit and you'll pull out a little stool/chair to sit on, and then you can keep recasting while seated. Doesn't impact the fishing at all, but it's a neat detail anyway.
In depth? All they did was add spells that make the low RNG higher and added in quests where you fucking gather - something you're already doing in the first place. God people are retarded.
As a new player, I have found this guide to be extremely useful (I am sure numerous others have found this to be the case as well). Thank you for dedicating your time and energy to this.
Az, I know this video is getting old, but thank you so much for going into the details on gathering. This is one of the best beginner guides I've come across. You were very clearly about how it works, and covered the important details in a clear and concise manner. I just recently started this game, and while I knew some of this information, there were details I had not caught on to yet. Thanks for keeping this up and available!
Thank you for actually making a BEGINNER'S guide video for this topic, unlike every single other video that basically starts with "So I guess you already know everything".
There's a faster way to switch between your crafting/gathering classes. Under the box where it lists all of the jobs that you have gear sets saved to, if you drag your mouse over one of the jobs you can click and drag the job icon to a key bind so all you have to do is press one button to switch between all of your classes. I highly recommend creating a shared hotbar off to the side of your screen and key binding all of your jobs. It's way faster.
From Loki to FF14 the youtube algoritme is truly... something. That aside really great video well explained, had given up on the gathering professions but think ill give it a go again.
Would love to see more of these FF14 guide videos. I've recently been considering playing it but it looks rather daunting from the outside and so far your two guide videos have helped to make me excited more than intimidated. So please continue them. :)
Ok i'm very late to this video by now, but as a side note or 2, you can use /sit while fishing for the extra kick of immersion and fishing also has a lot more going later on, for e.g.: different fishes have different strength values visulized by how hard your rod is twitching when a fish is on the hook. You have to learn this differences and use proper skills to your advantage then. Also different fishes need special bait, weather conditions and day/night on top of time windows. And if this isn't even enough there is later on also spear fishing and you can fish trophys if you're into housing and have an aquarium set up to place these trophys (or sell them for buttloads of money). I just wanted to illustrate how bloody deep these crafting/gathering systems are. Watch an guide on Crafting and Cross Skills and you see this is a level of perfection that every MMO should sport these days. And don't think its all fine a shiny but crafting is in MMOs useless on level cap. Wrong, very wrong in case of FF14 not only can you craft the best looking Glamour Gear (if you're into that), each patch brings new recipies for the actual content to match that and i see each day Tanks or DPS in FULL crafted gear to raid the HARDEST! content in FF14 on top of the fact that crafting is the best source for money. Yes it's time consuming, but its fun and rewarding and thats how it should be and not like WoW's after thought inbetween content drought with little to no effect to your actual content you try to conquer. For everyone starting out now at FF14, as AZ mentioned in the video stay on top of your MSQ (Main Story Quest) but i recommend to make a break after level 20 (when you open up the Grand Company and got your first mount). The Grand Company "GC" provides daily supply deliveries to be fullfilled by you for a big boost of EXP for each proffesion you turn in the requiered materials.(For e.g. Turn in 20 copper ore and get XXXX EXP for Mining) You also earn Company Seals wich can be turned in for hour long EXP buffs to crafting/gathering to speed up the proccess pretty hefty. After unlocking the GC start leveling your profession, take your time do all of them to match your current level. Then go back to MSQ for the next 10 level and repeat it. But be aware its a long journey this way but you will not regret it in the long run when you finished the MSQ @lvl70. It may take 2-3 weeks more time (trust me you don't miss out on content at all then every raid is still up to date due to other daily/weekly systems and this for you will have 0 trouble to get everything done even old content is still visited regulary by me for daily or weekly milestones). So take your time don't rush it for the sake of raiding or stuff like that. This is not WoW, FF14 rading is only the smallest part to the game (still one of the best part i admit) but the outside world provides so much content that you will feel totally overwhelmed if you just rush your way to cap. Enjoy your stay and take your time is my advice!
great job as always I know this may be a bit advance with the crafting professions when you hit 60 you can now pick 3 crafts to Specialize in giving you access to special recipes it works a lot like the job professions at lvl 30
FF14 has the best crafting/gathering system I've seen in an RPG. It's actually involved, but not in a bad way. It's engaging in a way that makes you want to keep doing it. I think this is a model that other developers should pay close attention to. No more channel fests, no detached companion fetch quests, no more two job limits. This is a dream for people like me, who enjoy being good at crafting.
Great job! Love how you both [showed] the game as you [explained] how to play it. Usually, most guides do either one or the other. Gave you a like, and will be checking out the rest of what your channel has to offer.
So I finally picked the game up (2022). I played FF11 for a very long time and this reminds me of how much I loved that game. I'm have a great time even though I'm lost lol but thank you for the great vid it's helping me out a ton. Thank you again.
Great video! I figured after playing Eve online, this one would be a breeze. Seems that it will start off a bit slow but I think I'm convinced to try it out after watching this. Can't wait to dig through your other videos. :)
You know that awkward moment when playing. Just listening to a tip guide. All because haven't played the game in the last 5 years. Suddenly get reminded that you can level FASTER by doing gathering quests. Instead of going around mining nodes. Which I was doing. All to set up to be done with a Miner Quest before getting it and to level up to get that quest when it comes. I smacked myself in the head on that.
For people who got stuck lile me skipping everything, it's is "Prospect+" meaning Prospect is on. Never search the map where it says the mineral deposites are located, instead search the bluffs of the edge of the map and around rocky hills for the pickaxe signs. I ran around for hours trying to look for those pickaxes and got the wrong digspots getting lightning shards north of the area that suggested east, but west of the town on the other hand, south of the actual location and west to the settlement it suggest on the map to find Copper ores. And to think, all of this just to know where to mine for minerals deposites while using the other one to gather wood, just to build things with smithing, just to be able to equipt materia skills. Too rediculous, I say.
I know you went back to the wow focus due to a love of wow and Blizzard doing Vanilla wow servers only in a year or two. Just wish you came back to a aspect or two of this game you loved for awhile, unless you burnt out on the game in the year or two you enjoyed it. Hope your health is on the upswing and your stress less Az. All the best
I wish I had came across this video 3 years ago when I tried out FFXIV for the first time. Back then I kept asking my friends how the fuck do I even do professions, and they just said "first you unlock the professions with quests and then you just put on the tool to activate the profession and go gather stuff!". One of my retail wow friends just convinced me to give FFXIV another try, and while the game is updating I decided to try to figure out how to do these damn professions. I checked out written guides and a bunch of videos and just got annoyed, because none of them explained how to actually get started. And then I found this video. You actually explained how to get started, and as soon as my game is updated I'm gonna go test it out. I seriously got my black mage to 52 back in 2021 and all of my professions are just level 1, because I couldn't figure out how to do anything at all. It was one of the reasons why I gave up on the game, because I enjoy doing professions and nobody would tell me how to actually do the things.
Gosh I love this game seriously. Thanks Az Its funny but I have been a miner for years in WOW an when I started this game I flat out refused to go that direction. Isnt it odd how one game has affected my choices in another heh
great vid Az, gave me a better understanding how gathering works in the game, just seemed so strange, used to the simplicity of gathering coming from SWTOR and WoW... But i'm liking the game so far ( tbh, it was your vid about it that made me try it :P ), keep it up
Braddah, i know this is old stuff, but you literally saved my motivation to go through all this button mashing thing that used to make me puke. Thanks a lot!
Made it to level 70 blm never noticed the update gear function lol.. sigh... but there is a best gear for job button now by the list button very useful
Good Stuff. when I played the game a year ago, I was a omnicrafter (all 8 disciplines maxed out and nearly top gear on each). However, the only gathering class I had even up there was Mining. I got Mining to level 62, but just couldn't grind out to 70. It's the most time wasting, tedious thing ever to max out Gathering, as experienced players will know. That's why there are not so many gathering masters out there in the game. I was in a Free Company of 400 members, and we only had 1 player to max out even 2 of the 3 gathering disciplines. In the 400, I was one of only 3 players to have maxed out all 8 crafting jobs, and the only one with every crafting book of recipes. I recall that the max level Items in the game when I was playing were like 370-375. While those Items were tedious to get through the Deltascape and quests like those, where you have to go beat tons of hard bosses in group and just hope you got the right drop from the boss to trade out. I was crafting weapons and armor about 5-10 levels under the max provided by those insane quests for my free company members. I would strongly advise against Trying to max out the gathering jobs. I wasted many hours just getting 1 of 3 there. I don't know how fishing is, but if it and botany are anything like mining, you'll wind up pressing buttons tens of thousands of times over many hours, just to get one job. I'd get all 3 to 50th level max, do not go for more. After 50, the leveling is so slow, even with the special quests and tribal stuff.
Hey AZ, another great video, i have recently left wow to play FF14 and honestly I dont believe i will return to wow after playing FF14, hopefully we will see more FF14 videos from you.
If i can ask, why would you want to do all 3 different crafting branches? Do you get exclusive stuff (gear, etc) from each? I do apologize for the ignorance, i am a new player.
Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but it's possible to get from gridania to ul'dah without the airship mission completed as shroud and thanalan are connected so you can run there
Hey Az, I could be wrong, but it looks like you left this video out of the FFXIV playlist. Good video! I hope you get a chance to make the crafting one.
I hit Lv50 on my DoL classes, now all my nodes are greyed out and abilities disabled. I wish I could start over, because now crafting is costing me an even LARGER fortune!
Hi Az (and others who might want to answer). Is it worth getting this game if I can't afford to get Heavensward straight away? Will I be able to get into pre-expansion dungeons and stuff? This game looks so good, man.
Hello, just started playing the game. I have reached level 20 and would like to take some proffetions. My question is, can/should you take all of them or you can only have a set number like 2 and if you want to learn any more you have to unlearn one or buy something from the cash shop?
+Stormfury Gaming I dont raid simply because I'm not good enough lol and I need to learn my class properly, but there are so many things to do endgame this is easily my MMORPG of choice.
+Stormfury Gaming Playing on Japanese servers makes raiding much more doable for AU players. The difference is pretty huge. There are a couple of Japanese servers with decent English speaking populations, most notably Tonberry. Tonberry can be hard to get into though cause its very full.
I'm level 16 and I don't have the gathering log yet, I went back and checked with the guild receptionist and I don't have anything, I've also been doing all the quests, what do!?
Hello I still new to FFXIV, I play on the trial version on the ps4. I was hoping you could tell me or show us what you can do with all the stuff you gather. Also I must say this video was very helpful. Thank you for your help.
How do you get to the different areas in the game in order to get these "gathering" skills? Yes, I am a noob. I got botany but I can't find fishing and mining at all.
I did not pay much attention to your FF 14 videos before but this one demonstrates that the game has great depth to professions. Wish WoW had that too. I too want to try this game if I can just ignore the anime style of the characters and some parts of the UI that looks like from a space themed sci-fi game.
+WoW-Stories It doesn't look like that in game. Where Wow reminds me of a cartoon in every aspect ff landscapes look real an your toon an the dimensions of it somehow look more real than WOW
+sheriwhispers Thanks for the comment. Among all the games I have played or watched gameplay videos, I like WoW's graphics the most. I don't really like "realistic" type of graphics most FPS or RPG games have been using lately. I mean I don't like that art style much. Still, I do want to give FF 14 a try especially after learning how detailed and fun their gathering system looks.
If you are buying all your materials for Crafting it can become extremely pricey as you level up. Especially when it concerns HQ items. Gathering will decrease yoir costs of crafting anf if you choose to sell what you craft bring near 100% value on the items (materials can easily cost more than the finished product in many cases). As well as if you manage to gather HQ items then craftin into HQ will greatly increase value. It is a very very good place to start when looking into proffesions! I personally prefer Gather as i find it relaxing and fun. I hope this will help you out! Best of luck!
I have no idea if this is up to date but in 30 minutes you seriously answered every question that literally every other "EXPLANATION" video on what exactly gathering is FAILED to do, in about 1/3 of the time and about 1000000% more clearly.
100% agreed, should be stickied in a lot of places for new players
Neat visual detail with fishing - once you've cast, you can type /sit and you'll pull out a little stool/chair to sit on, and then you can keep recasting while seated. Doesn't impact the fishing at all, but it's a neat detail anyway.
its amazing how in depth a simple thing like mining can get
this is how you do professions, blizz
Fuck wow,you should try ffxiv instead
In depth? All they did was add spells that make the low RNG higher and added in quests where you fucking gather - something you're already doing in the first place. God people are retarded.
But I guess it beats 14 year old, non existent after the 1st month of a new expac, WoW professions
As a new player, I have found this guide to be extremely useful (I am sure numerous others have found this to be the case as well). Thank you for dedicating your time and energy to this.
El
This tutorial is still really helpful in 2020, thank you!

Your videos on this makes me want to try the game.
+Zabian do it!
+Zabian JUST DO IT!!! dont let your dreams be dreams
Count Ravencrest I follow those words everyday of my life. Sadly, Megan Fox hasn't appeared in one of my videos. How does bay do that shit?
***** watch robot chicken sketch about him
+Mike the Doomspike WoW killer, Nah Blizzard is doing well enough on that front on their own.
That said this game has more or less replaced it now.
A beginners guide that actually shows you gathering FROM THE BEGINNING...lol. awesome video. Thank you!
New Player this week after wow and eso, been watching your channel for a while but just discovered these guides. It couldn't get any better :D
Thank you for actually making a BEGINNER'S guide video for this topic, unlike every single other video that basically starts with "So I guess you already know everything".
Awesome guide yet again Az... Now I'm ready to crush FFXIV with my brand new level 1 arcanist... unless I get killed by a falling piece of paper.
Papercuts are no joke, especially when you exist in 2 dimensions!
There's a faster way to switch between your crafting/gathering classes.

Your comment as a lot of helpful information. However, next time try to space the paragraphs a bit more =)
more final fantasy videos Az, I just started ff14 and absolutely love it
great job as always I know this may be a bit advance with the crafting professions when you hit 60 you can now pick 3 crafts to Specialize in giving you access to special recipes it works a lot like the job professions at lvl 30
Best video on Gathering still on 2022! Loved it, straight up for total noob that have no idea how this works.
Holy crap finally a game with epic gathering professions! Thumbs up, gonna try this game.
I so wish everyone would make videos like this. Great Job!
FF14 has the best crafting/gathering system I've seen in an RPG. It's actually involved, but not in a bad way. It's engaging in a way that makes you want to keep doing it.

Excellent guide for a newbie like me. Clear and to the point. Thanks!
Great job! Love how you both [showed] the game as you [explained] how to play it. Usually, most guides do either one or the other. Gave you a like, and will be checking out the rest of what your channel has to offer.
wow, what timing for these. I just renewed my subscription to start playing again.
Anyone else know all of this but just like to listen to his voice? lol
I don't know any of this (just started playing) but I was listening to this video to fall asleep last night
So I finally picked the game up (2022). I played FF11 for a very long time and this reminds me of how much I loved that game. I'm have a great time even though I'm lost lol but thank you for the great vid it's helping me out a ton. Thank you again.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 AMAZINGLY THOROUGH GUIDE! I got everything I need to start! Thanks man! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you,
you make the game that more fun to play because you make crafting easier to learn
I just got this game about two weeks ago. Good God is there a lot of stuff to do. I love it.
Thank you so much! this helped tremendously as I just started FF14
Great video! I figured after playing Eve online, this one would be a breeze. Seems that it will start off a bit slow but I think I'm convinced to try it out after watching this. Can't wait to dig through your other videos. :)
You know that awkward moment when playing. Just listening to a tip guide. All because haven't played the game in the last 5 years. Suddenly get reminded that you can level FASTER by doing gathering quests. Instead of going around mining nodes. Which I was doing. All to set up to be done with a Miner Quest before getting it and to level up to get that quest when it comes.
I smacked myself in the head on that.
Just left BFA picked up ffxiv and was lost when it came to gathering. This was perfect. I fully understand now.
ffxiv classes > wow classes
Finally left Warcraft for this. Glad your doing videos your beginners guide was very helpful
For people who got stuck lile me skipping everything, it's is "Prospect+" meaning Prospect is on. Never search the map where it says the mineral deposites are located, instead search the bluffs of the edge of the map and around rocky hills for the pickaxe signs.
I ran around for hours trying to look for those pickaxes and got the wrong digspots getting lightning shards north of the area that suggested east, but west of the town on the other hand, south of the actual location and west to the settlement it suggest on the map to find Copper ores.
And to think, all of this just to know where to mine for minerals deposites while using the other one to gather wood, just to build things with smithing, just to be able to equipt materia skills. Too rediculous, I say.
Excellent beginners guide!... wish I'd found this video when I first started gathering 😊
I know you went back to the wow focus due to a love of wow and Blizzard doing Vanilla wow servers only in a year or two. Just wish you came back to a aspect or two of this game you loved for awhile, unless you burnt out on the game in the year or two you enjoyed it. Hope your health is on the upswing and your stress less Az. All the best
This was THE guide Ihave been looking for. Thank you for this resource.
You are an awesome instructor. Thank you. So very clear, so very precise. So thankful.
I wish I had came across this video 3 years ago when I tried out FFXIV for the first time. Back then I kept asking my friends how the fuck do I even do professions, and they just said "first you unlock the professions with quests and then you just put on the tool to activate the profession and go gather stuff!".

This video was absolutely fantastic! You should work for SE because looking at this makes you want to try it!
Excellent guide! Sir, you have my respect, my subscription and my likes for every video you have or will do in the future.
Gosh I love this game seriously. Thanks Az Its funny but I have been a miner for years in WOW an when I started this game I flat out refused to go that direction. Isnt it odd how one game has affected my choices in another heh
Still an amazing video!
Thanks for the help :D
this was worth to watch just to learn that I can save sets... As I was manually putting all my gear back up ;)
Nice vid Az, I started playing FFXIV last week due to your last video.
Hoping for more in this series, learned a lot already :)
oh great guide Az, would been nice six months ago when I had to learn all that by trial and error and figure it out myself.
great vid Az, gave me a better understanding how gathering works in the game, just seemed so strange, used to the simplicity of gathering coming from SWTOR and WoW... But i'm liking the game so far ( tbh, it was your vid about it that made me try it :P ), keep it up
Braddah, i know this is old stuff, but you literally saved my motivation to go through all this button mashing thing that used to make me puke. Thanks a lot!
I know its late but thanks for this video. Just started FF14 because of you. Why have i ever started with WOW? If i only knew...
Made it to level 70 blm never noticed the update gear function lol.. sigh... but there is a best gear for job button now by the list button very useful
Good Stuff. when I played the game a year ago, I was a omnicrafter (all 8 disciplines maxed out and nearly top gear on each).

I'd get all 3 to 50th level max, do not go for more. After 50, the leveling is so slow, even with the special quests and tribal stuff.
Hey AZ, another great video, i have recently left wow to play FF14 and honestly I dont believe i will return to wow after playing FF14, hopefully we will see more FF14 videos from you.
Thank you very much for this awesome video I just started the game and this is an amazing tutorial.
thanks man this videos helps alot moved from wow to ff14
Great video - thank you for your time putting this together
Great video with clear concise explanations, looking forward to the crafting one :)
Hey Az! Love all of your videos! I am really thinking about starting this game. Do you think you can make more of these videos? Thanks!
If i can ask, why would you want to do all 3 different crafting branches? Do you get exclusive stuff (gear, etc) from each? I do apologize for the ignorance, i am a new player.
I love this game. already on 4 months playing and it is so easy to get sidetracked. can't wait to see how Az does his "job" video.
Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but it's possible to get from gridania to ul'dah without the airship mission completed as shroud and thanalan are connected so you can run there
Great review! I just started playing a week ago and this was very helpful. It's a great game!
Another exciting, interesting & informative video. Thank you!! :)
Hey Az,
I could be wrong, but it looks like you left this video out of the FFXIV playlist. Good video! I hope you get a chance to make the crafting one.
Thank you! It's very useful for beginner like me.
Hey HeelvsBabyface. Very informative video. Was searching for part 2, the crafting guide but couldn't find it. Did you had to delete it?
Ive played for a year but never touched gathering. Might try it now.
I hit Lv50 on my DoL classes, now all my nodes are greyed out and abilities disabled. I wish I could start over, because now crafting is costing me an even LARGER fortune!
Hi Az (and others who might want to answer). Is it worth getting this game if I can't afford to get Heavensward straight away? Will I be able to get into pre-expansion dungeons and stuff? This game looks so good, man.
Really enjoying these AZ keep them coming, What's the end game solo play like?
Bro did you ever make the second part of this(crafting)I’m thinking about playing this game and you are very good at explaining
Beginners Crafting video next, hopefully? Also, if you ever need some people to play with Cactuar is a great medium population server!
Question, with GC turn in's could you make it to 80 Gatherer, without actually gathering anything at all?
very informative, I might give fishing a go now it looks fun
awesome guide, can't wait for the next one... ^_^
Very useful. Thanks Az!
clear and extensive, thank you
Everything has been said here. I mean Everything! Love the vid. Just found your channel today, already subscribed :)
I'm a big guy for crafting in games. I had a hard time following what was going on here , but I'm sure that if I played this one it would all click
Hello, just started playing the game. I have reached level 20 and would like to take some proffetions. My question is, can/should you take all of them or you can only have a set number like 2 and if you want to learn any more you have to unlearn one or buy something from the cash shop?
You can level everything just time consumeing
hey AZ do you think you like ff14 enough to play endgame or is it just a game to pass the time?
+Stormfury Gaming I dont raid simply because I'm not good enough lol and I need to learn my class properly, but there are so many things to do endgame this is easily my MMORPG of choice.
hey man at least u dont get constant 200 ping like us aussies do, makes raiding alot more difficult lol
+Stormfury Gaming Playing on Japanese servers makes raiding much more doable for AU players. The difference is pretty huge. There are a couple of Japanese servers with decent English speaking populations, most notably Tonberry. Tonberry can be hard to get into though cause its very full.
+Bryn Phillips thanks man ill check it out now :)
I'm level 16 and I don't have the gathering log yet, I went back and checked with the guild receptionist and I don't have anything, I've also been doing all the quests, what do!?
still having issues?
This really helped out. Thanks!
totally down with this fishing thing^^
just startet playing this. hope u do more :D
and having the same fun as i did in vanilla wow. this might be my new MMO :D
Hello I still new to FFXIV, I play on the trial version on the ps4. I was hoping you could tell me or show us what you can do with all the stuff you gather. Also I must say this video was very helpful. Thank you for your help.
How do you get to the different areas in the game in order to get these "gathering" skills? Yes, I am a noob. I got botany but I can't find fishing and mining at all.

You need to go to the other cities' guilds. Fishing is in Limsa Lominsa and Mining is in Uldah.
I know this is really old but I think it's 100% "Leave" it's old English it's to take a leave.
I cant believe this bastard is the only guy on the internet who knows how to prounounce pugalist
I'm watching this to learn a bit about the game. I'm buying this game tomorrow to play.. Could you recommend a server?
Did you do part 2? Or should I go and level my searching skills?
Another awesome vid, Az!
Crafting and gathering in this game is so damn good!
Agreed =]
I'm new at the game and i really like it. But can someone explain "why" i should do this? What do i gain?
How do you put those buttons on the bottom right corner (above the Gil)?
I did not pay much attention to your FF 14 videos before but this one demonstrates that the game has great depth to professions. Wish WoW had that too. I too want to try this game if I can just ignore the anime style of the characters and some parts of the UI that looks like from a space themed sci-fi game.
+WoW-Stories It doesn't look like that in game. Where Wow reminds me of a cartoon in every aspect ff landscapes look real an your toon an the dimensions of it somehow look more real than WOW
+sheriwhispers Thanks for the comment. Among all the games I have played or watched gameplay videos, I like WoW's graphics the most. I don't really like "realistic" type of graphics most FPS or RPG games have been using lately. I mean I don't like that art style much. Still, I do want to give FF 14 a try especially after learning how detailed and fun their gathering system looks.
Awesome vids mate. Made me buy the game to give it a shot lol
Is it worth leveling all 3 first before moving onto all the crafting jobs?
If you are buying all your materials for Crafting it can become extremely pricey as you level up. Especially when it concerns HQ items. Gathering will decrease yoir costs of crafting anf if you choose to sell what you craft bring near 100% value on the items (materials can easily cost more than the finished product in many cases). As well as if you manage to gather HQ items then craftin into HQ will greatly increase value. It is a very very good place to start when looking into proffesions! I personally prefer Gather as i find it relaxing and fun.
I hope this will help you out!
Best of luck!
