There’s a lot to look forward to in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, and now you can decide whether you’re adding gathering and crafting to that list!
You’ll begin, as most crafters do, by gathering materials. As you run through the world, you’ll have skills to triangulate gathering nodes. Upon approaching a node, you’ll get to choose from a list of things you can try to gather from it — a tree, for example, might be a place where you could find a log, or a feather, or maybe some sap. Once you’ve got materials, it’s time to head to your crafting bench, pick a recipe, and start working. You’ll have construction skills that focus on the quality and progress of your crafting.
It looks like the minigames in gathering are gone, and that makes me sad. Easily the coolest part of FFXIV for me. Also, I think arbor call glitched, as it directed the player I think past a resource node (or maybe it was another kind of resource node, and I just didn’t see that).Click on FFXIV Gil to get more games.
