Botanist (BTN) Gathering Abilities and Materia


FFXIV - Disciples of Land - Botanist
The botanist's profession encompasses the procurement of resources from all forms of plant life. This includes harvesting various vegetables and grains, tending to fruit-bearing trees, gathering wild grasses, cultivating fibrous plants for use in textiles, cutting lumber to supply the carpentry trade, and more.
This wide range of raw materials draws the custom of various other guilds, notably the Carpenters', Weavers', Alchemists', and Culinarians'. Botanists also attempt to educate others about the importance of achieving a symbiotic relationship
with Eorzea's plants, rather than carelessly stripping them of their useful parts. This is perhaps best exemplified by the revolutionary irrigation methods
devised by Gridania, which first made low-impact, high-yield crop propagation possible. The primary tool of the botanist is the hatchet.

Below is a list of abilities for the Botanist class up to level 50. All of the Botanist's abilities use 0 MP or TP and have 0 cast time.

Abilities

Disciples of the Land abilities are different in that the Botanist can only equip some of them to their bar. The others are used at random while the player is gathering. Botanists do not use MP or TP.
