Exciting Tonics are vital crafting materials in Final Fantasy XIV, primarily obtained from Mining and Botany nodes. Here are the most efficient locations for gatherers:
Optimal Gathering Locations
- Botany (Old Sharlayan - Lv. 90): Southwest of Leveilleur Estate (X:10.1, Y:13.9). Unspoiled Node (Eorzean Time AM 4:00-8:00).
- Mining (La Noscea - Middle La Noscea): Near Costa Del Sol Aetheryte (X:32.3, Y:24.8). Requires Perception ≥ 332 for Grade 3 Cloud.
- Botany (The Fringes - Lv. 70): East of The Comet (X:14.0, Y:24.0). Unspoiled Node (ET PM 10:00-2:00).
- Mining (Ishgard - The Firmament): Skybuilders' Nodes during Restoration content (requires Diadem access).
Maximizing Efficiency
- Equip Hi-Cordial to replenish GP instantly.
- Use King's Yield II (Botanist) / Bountiful Yield II (Miner) for increased gathers.
- Apply Sharp Vision III / Sharp Vision II to boost hit rate for unspoiled nodes.
- Utilize Collector's Glove and Impulsive Appraisal II for yellow scrip exchange.
Alternative Acquisition
- Purchase from Scrip Exchange Vendors using Purple/Gatherers' Scrips.
- Check market board (prices fluctuate heavily).
- Request via Player Trade or Free Company.
Focus on unspoiled nodes during their precise Eorzean Time windows and optimize rotation with GP abilities for maximum yield. Always gather with full GP reserves.
