WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Living Memory, X:8, Y:7, at the Botanist unspoiled node during its listed Eorzean-time window.

Rarefied Windsbalm Bay Leaf is a timed level 100 Botanist target in Living Memory. Its short node window rewards preparation: check the appraiser if scrips are the objective, or identify an actual recipe need before building a stockpile. Collectable actions let you manage rating, while the current appraiser listing determines whether the leaf serves your currency goal. Keep recipe stock separate from items you plan to submit.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Level 100 Botanist and access to Living Memory.
  • Collectable gathering unlocked and suitable gatherer gear.
  • Home World status for timed-node visibility.
  1. Find the leaf’s schedule in the Gathering Log and note the Eorzean-time window.
  2. Check the current appraiser list or confirm a recipe that uses the leaf.
  3. Travel to Living Memory ahead of the window and activate Truth of Forests if needed.
  4. Locate the node and choose the Windsbalm Bay Leaf collectable entry.
  5. Use collectable actions, reviewing predicted rating before spending additional GP.
  6. Gather the quantity needed for your selected turn-in tier or recipe reserve.
  7. Submit accepted items to the appraiser, or retain the leaf for its confirmed craft.

Farming tips

  • Set an in-game alarm; the brief node window is easy to miss while doing other content.
  • Timed nodes are unavailable while visiting another World, so return to your home World before gathering.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat at later node windows as needed. Scrip value depends on current appraiser acceptance; recipe stock can be gathered when the node returns.

Common mistakes

  • Using local time to judge the window; follow Eorzean time in-game.
  • Assuming every rarefied item is accepted; check the appraiser before a scrip run.
  • Turning in the full haul when a recipe needs some; reserve craft quantities first.

When to stop or switch

Stop when the confirmed recipe or accepted turn-in target is met. Otherwise, switch to a collectable with a current use.
