The Botanist is one of the three main gatherer job classes in Final Fantasy XIV, and it focuses on collecting plants, flowers, and other flora. Here is how to unlock the gatherer job and where to find all of the FFXIV Botanist quests.
How to unlock Botanist in FFXIV
The main requirement for unlocking the Botanist in FFXIV is to reach level 10 with your starting job class and finish the job quest tied to it. After you do this, you can switch to other jobs. At this point, head to Old Gridania to X: 6.4, Y: 8.3, where you will find the Botanist’s Guild. Once you get there, speak with Leonceault to get your starter Botanist gear and begin your first quest to unlock it.
