THIS GUIDE WILL CHANGE ACCORDINGLY ONCE 2.0 IS RELEASED.


This is a list of all the equipment that will be suitable for Botany and Botany 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 Botanist's stats including: Str, Int, Perception, Gathering, Output and Scanning with possible stats that carry over to Fisher and Mining.


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 name changes to gear

Blue = updated and clickable links
(U/U) = Unique / Untradeable

I am finishing it up this week and the mining guide. Finished the Fishing list.

Sorry just been really busy and I am in the process of moving.

Kida's Guide updated as of 11/2/11

As far as rings, etc I will add those later. If you find any mistakes or missing information post a reply.

yep. I put in a lot of extra gear for each of those jobs that they can wear with appropriate stats because this game unlike ffxi has so many options. I know there are those certain pieces you can wear but I wanted to give a lot of options.

So I just did the whole thing for all 3.

All of the 3 types of Materia listed attach to fisher, botany and miner primary tools

I am finally going to finish updating the subtle name changes SE made to the list this week.

We don't have an official guide up yet, but here's a couple sources that are works in progress:
