Overview
Edit
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.
Cutting TreesEdit
In order to receive materials from trees, you have to go through a hacking minigame. In this, you set a notch in the tree, and then attempt to stop a moving power meter as close to the notch as possible. The closer the hack is, the more progression you make on receiving an item, and the better the chance that you will receive the item intact. If you're not careful, you can damage an item while attempting to gather it from a tree.
