Having the best yield possible is important for endgame gathering. These rotations will help you know this information to get the most out of your items. Some gathering rotations will be also featured around our gathering meld sets.

Endgame Gathering Rotations

The latest expansion in Final Fantasy XIV, Dawntrail brings a new host of skills for your Gathering classes. This guide covers how best to use them on the current endgame nodes.

2.

Making The Most Of Your Gathering

Here are a few strategies that can help boost your yield, without relying solely on skills:

  • Proper GP Management: Effective GP management is a vital aspect of gathering. Keep your cordials on cooldown, avoid idling with maximum GP, and prioritize gathering nodes that offer the largest bonuses. With practice, you will learn the placement of each bonus as you move around the node.
  • Cordial Usage: Cordials play a big role in improving GP regeneration. Hi-Cordials offer the greatest benefits however other cordials also are effective if you can not easily obtain Hi-Cordials.You can obtain Hi-Cordials through scrips or Seafarers Cowries if you have your Island Sanctuary unlocked. Ocean fishing and custom delivery are generally easy passive options.
  • Targeting Node Bonuses: To maximize your yield, make sure to focus on the bonuses offered by node breakpoints and skills. Our Endgame Melding Guide provides a comprehensive list of these bonuses, making it easier for players to understand how to meld.

Endgame Gathering Rotations

Below you will find several groups of rotations for different purposes such as spiritbonding, current legendary nodes, untimed nodes and older nodes. Depending on your stats and what breakpoints/node bonuses you hit your optimal yield can vary between nodes.

Skills are using the MIN specific tags, use BTN equivalents where relevant.

4.1.

Rotations for High Tier Melds

The current endgame nodes feature 3 node bonuses and 1 skill breakpoint, these are:

  • 30% Boon at 4907 Perception. This is guaranteed to be on each node.
  • +1/+2/+3 Yield for having 4754/4968/5181 Gathering respectively. Anything over the +1 breakpoint are hidden so you may see the node bonus give you +2/+3 but the bonus does not change and still says its 4757 when in reality it isnt.
  • +1/+2 Integrity at 930/960GP with the 960GP bonus also being hidden.
  • Bountiful Yield/Harvest +2 at 4576 Gathering, +3 is impossible needing 5593 Gathering.

Either Stuffed Peppers Icon Stuffed Peppers or Turali Pineapple Ponzecake Icon Turali Pineapple Ponzecake are recommended. Which one is best technically depends on how regularly the Yield and Integrity node bonuses appear which is not known. Ponzecake is better if the bonuses appear more than 33% of the time combined.

Peppers grants you the +2 Yield, +30% Boon and +2 Integrity bonuses, while Ponzecake grants +3 Yield, +30% Boon and +1 Integrity bonuses.

  • Solid Reason Icon Solid Reason
  • Wise to the World Icon Wise to the World

4.8.

General Untimed Node Rotations

Untimed nodes are generally quite simple given you massively overgear them and don't need extensive rotations like timed nodes.

Your main focus is to try and keep your GP low using Bountiful Yield II Icon Bountiful Yield II and then when good node bonuses appear or Revisit Icon Revisit occurs, use your stronger skills. If bountiful is giving you +3 per use then you always want to be using bountiful regardless of the node bonuses.

If bountiful only gives you +2 yield then you will want to use King's Yield II Icon King's Yield II / Blessed Harvest II Icon Blessed Harvest II on nodes with increased integrity.

General Legendary Node Rotations

Generally, older nodes will give you a much higher boon % chance leading to an increased focus with skills such as Nald'thal's Tidings Icon Nald'thal's Tidings and Mountaineer's Gift II Icon Mountaineer's Gift II as well as an increased focus on Bountiful Yield II Icon Bountiful Yield II due to it giving 3 a hit.

This node rotation works as a general when Bountiful hits +3 or slightly increased yield.

  • Mountaineer's Gift I Icon Mountaineer's Gift I
  • Mountaineer's Gift II Icon Mountaineer's Gift II
  • Nald'thal's Tidings Icon Nald'thal's Tidings

  • Bountiful Yield II Icon Bountiful Yield II
  • Bountiful Yield II Icon Bountiful Yield II
  • Bountiful Yield II Icon Bountiful Yield II
  • Bountiful Yield II Icon Bountiful Yield II

If you have + integrity, you may instead want this rotation.

  • Nald'thal's Tidings Icon Nald'thal's Tidings
  • Bountiful Yield II Icon Bountiful Yield II
  • King's Yield II Icon King's Yield II
  • Bountiful Yield II Icon Bountiful Yield II before the final hit.

This rotation applies if you generally have + yield bonuses.
