THIS GUIDE WILL CHANGE ACCORDINGLY ONCE 2.0 IS RELEASED.


This is a list of all the equipment that will be suitable for Miner and Miner Materia... A lot of the items will also be great equipment for the two other DoL's. Number in front of item is optimal or required rank.

These items are suggested options (You do not always have to upgrade, pls compare stats/lvls before purchasing) that revolve around a Miners stats including: Vit, Mnd, Perception, Gathering, Output and Scanning with possible stats that carry over to Fisher and Botany.


You have plenty of options below if the optimized item is not in stock. FF14 is all about diversity including gear so this is not an optimized guide so don't ask why so many options.

List will be updated to reflect subtle name changes for gear
Blue = updated and clickable links

updating guide this week finally to reflect 1.20.

added new rings, achievement pick.

need to update name changes to certain items still.


Added a few other items. Still need to make some name changes but they are the same items. SE just changed the names and Kida has the links going to the right item.

Hi Courtney,

Unfortunately since 1.20 they have limited important ingredients to one drop, and one drop only, per gathering attempt. The usefulness of MND is no longer that great.

Attempts per node cap at 8, so even output is useless beyond a certain point. I think if anyone is stacking a particular stat right now, it's perception.

I updated these guides for all 3 dol's so that's my fault. I'll add those later.

I'm one of those people who wears gear that looks good, is the best for my lvl and overall stats. I really have not been concerned with things like mnd, vit, int, str when gathering on any dol job.

I have no problems with the gear I have listed for each dol job grinding for items I need or doing leves. Personal preference I guess. That's why I listed lots of options. Some stats give you longer nodes, hq items, etc.

I just posted all the relevant stats for each DoL job that SE said affects those jobs.
