ok .. maybe someone can tell me what im doing wrong here.. sorta new to botany... been grinding to 23 and i was turned on to this site for resource finder.. I am trying to farm walnut logs.. so i go to the maps and logs section and it shows the 4 trees that produce walnut logs in the camp tranquil area (black shroud). So i run over there and using triangulate 3 it constantly leads me to trees that are NEVER one of the 4 trees that I need. Any advice?
Also someone told me u have to refresh your tree? I also was told u cant use harvest or any fishing or mining anymore... so how do you refresh a tree? The more specific the info the better.. Thanks.. I have no ls due to very sporadic playtime so I came here. .looking for someone knowledgable and patient..
Thanks

I always managed to get Walnut logs around Bloodshore at that level (though it certainly wasn't fast). Basicly the problem you are having, is the tree's arent active for you. Not every tree in the game can be logged at, they take turns. So just keep whacking away at the trees you currently have up, and eventually they will dissapear, and you will be able to log at a different tree, and hope that it is one with Walnut. Also, IIRC the 3x log leve in bloodshore is done on Walnut trees, so that can also force you too cut walnut trees.
Hope this helps. |

Only recently back to 14 (while still playing 11) so I'm sure I'll get corrected if I'm way out, but this is how I understand it.
Each Level area has a lot of gathering nodes, but only a few are active at any one time. Each spot also has a separate loot list, so that while the walnut logs are available in a Camp Tranquil, they are only available from a few nodes, and because only a few nodes are active at any one time, they may not be the ones you need for walnut logs. So you need to move the nodes, by farming the points to exhaustion and hoping that they respawn where you want them (cycling them). This may (will!) all change in 1.19 too though.
Not sure what you mean by not being able to use harvest, fishing or mining anymore though? |

First of all... things are about to change... tomorrow yields from botany (and mining) in FFXIV is changed drastically leaving all areas to have a list of items that will be gathered from all resource points in that area making it a lot easier to target certain items.
But you are correct that at the moment you will get only one Walnut tree even though an area may have four walnut trees in all. Normally only one of each kind is active at any given moment. That being said at least one will also be active so you will always be able to find a walnut tree in an area where walnuts are found.
But as stated this will all change. I will try to update all resource points with the correct items as soon as possible so you will be able to find exactly what you are looking for. |

ok .. thanks for the helpful info.... one thing u didnt cover.. can u refresh a tree by anything besides logging, ie.. use up the tree.. then go quarrying then harvesting (or whatever) and then return back to that original tree and it will be refreshed?
or do you have to exhaust two more trees before returning to the orginal one?
or do you have to exhaust three more trees before returning to the original one?
or some other way completely different?
Does this work for mining also the exact same way?
Cant wait to see your list. .it sounds like btn gonna be easier even though i read you only gonna get one lumber for each log.. WTF is with that lol for crafting crp..

You always used to be able to reset trees via spearfishing/harvesting/quarrying. (Have to completely deplete two areas before a tree restocks). If they changed this, I didn't know about it. |

All carpenter recipes yield one lumber per log now (there are recipes to cut three at a time I think for three logs to speed up the process, but less xp). You still have to tap three resources before a previous one will be active again. |
