I like mining and botany, but not fishing. Mining and botany help support my crafting jobs. I know some of you out there like fishing, just not my cup of tea. Smiley: oyvey

Gathering is actually not too bad. Make sure you have a combat class leveling around the same time or be prepared to grind FATES so you can get seals for the xp bonus books. Also, use guides to ensure efficiency on levequests vs straight grinding. I did 5-10 levels of gathering, then switched back to combat classes for a week. Rinse and repeat. The gil can be pretty good if you grind the right items for lower XP too, so there's always that as a motivator. Having said that, I find I'll buy most gatherable items on the AH even if I can get them myself, unless they are ridiculously over priced.

I'm working on a video so I'm grinding it out and gathering footage so I can make it concise and informational. Spent 100 leves to get from 1 to 50 lol

Fishing is fine IF you have two monitors and can pop on Netflix in the second one. Watch TV and fish. Smiley: nod

GC hand-ins. GC hand-ins for days.

Because seriously... gathering is impossibly boring.

Rumor has it WoW is taking on a similar approach to gathering. We are doomed

Gathering in WoW has always been pretty simplistic. In their next expansion they're overhauling the way all their crafting and gathering works, though the details are pretty sparse right now.

Gathering was never interesting in WoW either, but at least it was fast.

I've been grinding fishing on Football nights. Works pretty good, though sometimes I don't hear the sound to reel in and I have to actually look at the screen if I'm trying to mooch ^.~

I actually enjoy just fishing. Push my chair back, stretch out my legs, and enjoy the scenery. Just like real fishing, but a lot less messy.
