Everyone is now looking at me and saying, "What do you know about leveling a gatherer?" Well, I'm going to tell you. I have only been playing a few weeks but I have been playing with my gatherers for the past few days while SE fixes a bug that has delayed my story progress. I found a few tips that will help with leveling your gatherers.

First you want to bookmark a few pages from consolegameswiki.com that will help you find locations to the items of each level. This will help prevent you from running around aimlessly looking for locations to gather your items.


https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Botanist_Node_Locations

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Mining_Node_Locations

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Fishing_Locations

I find these pages very useful, especially if you are looking for a certain item. This will also save you gil in the long run because you will not have to buy your supplies from a vendor or off the MB.

When you start out simply do the quests from the Guild Master. Everything you need is local and you can do this within a few minutes. You should make it to level 5 in no time at all.

Then you want to reference the corresponding page to see what is available to you. Find a location and pick an item. Keep mining that item until you have received 99 of that item. Do this for multiple items. As you level up move to other locations and gather new items. The higher the item level, the more experience you earn. You can also find rare valuables.

After your venture, go make a visit to your Retainer and list those items you have gathered on the MB and make a little gil as you level up critical members in your crafting arsenal.

If you have any other helpful tips please leave them below.

Thanks for reading.

What helped me level my gatherers were Leves and Grand Company Supply and Provisioning Missions

you can find leves in the main three cities (Gridania, Limsa and Ul'dah) and they offer fieldcraft leves starting from level 1 to 45, you finish the mission and come back to submit it and gets lots of exp as reward!
there regional leves as well and the level range varies. here's the list of all the Levemete NPCs: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Levequest

as for the grand company, it gives you a list every 24 hours of items to submit (crafters & gatherers) and sometimes you'll see a star next to an item on the list, that means if you submit that item you'll receive double the exp and seals! it helped me a lot so make sure to check the list everyday! (you can check it on your Timers menu instead of visiting you grand company every time)
here are the list of items you could get on the list (per class) https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Supply_and_Provisioning_Mission
 
Thanks on taking your time on this! I know it was posted a bit ago, but great topic!
