In Final Fantasy XIV, gathering can increase your likelihood of receiving an item. The higher the level of the item, the more Gathering Points are required for a 100% chance. Of course, having enough Final fantasy xiv gil can make things easier.
How to Gather?
The initial step to gather is to make sure your ‘triangulate' (Botany) or ‘Prospect' (Mining) skill is toggled on. These capabilities are discovered at level 1, and allow you to see gathering nodes around the minimap. Note that at level 2, you get the trait "Auto-triangulate" or "Auto-prospect" which automatically toggles this on any time you modify to a gathering class.
Approaching a node will give you information on what kind of node it is. example "Level 5 Mature Tree". Note that not all of the same nodes are equal, different areas with different "level 5 Mature Trees" will have different gatherable materials within. Interacting with the node will bring up the gathering window. You do not have to rush to gather nodes in fear of other people getting there first, each person has their own nodes.
Every node naturally has a lifespan of 6 strikes. Meaning you could attempt to gather 6 occasions from any provided node, irrespective of whether you select to collect six distinctive products, or six on the very same item - it does not matter.
Finding New Nodes
New nodes are made available for you to see for each five levels. Bear in mind that there is no way around this. Even if you have godly gear or whatever, you simply cannot see nodes above your gathering level.
When first gathering a new node, you will see that the various materials are still "Unknown". This is annoying because unknown materials have a base gather chance of 10%. So on average, you're going to need 2 nodes to successfully discover 1 Unknown Material. Luckily you can increase this chance. The botanist skill [Field Mastery] and mining skill [Sharp Vision] increases the chance to successfully gather items. They also affect unknown materials!
Once you've successfully gathered an unknown item, you usually do not must undergo this process again. So count on to undergo every time you locate a brand new cluster of nodes. Because new nodes are offered every five levels, you could too visit your guildmaster (They offer a brand new quest every five levels) to acquire a clue as to where they're, and free gear upgrades.
One more way to increase your probabilities at gathering unknown (and known) components are discussed under.
