Gatherer Scrips and Crafting Inputs
Gatherer Materia through Spiritbonding
Gathering with materia-bearing gear builds spiritbond and can provide materia for melds or sale.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Gatherer Materia through Spiritbonding
Any suitable Dawntrail gathering route with materia-bearing gatherer gear, such as useful ordinary materials or a timed-node target.
Before you go
- Gatherer equipment with materia slots and spiritbond progress.
- A Botanist or Miner route that yields materials you can use.
- Inventory space for gathered materials and extracted materia.
Farming steps
- Choose a material with a confirmed recipe, turn-in, or personal-use purpose.
- Equip the gatherer gear set whose spiritbond you want to build.
- Follow the relevant Gathering Log entry or timed-node schedule to the target.
- Gather the selected materials while checking gear spiritbond periodically.
- When extraction becomes available, extract materia from eligible gear pieces.
- Inspect the materia type and decide whether it meets a meld need or is worth retaining.
- Use or sell it only after checking your own needs and World market.
- Market demand differs by World; check locally before treating extraction as a gil route.
- Keep the gathering target useful in its own right, since materia is a variable extra.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat during gathering sessions while equipped gear can gain spiritbond. Extraction is a variable byproduct, not a fixed-yield loop.
Common mistakes
- Assuming every session guarantees useful materia; treat extraction as an uncertain bonus.
- Gathering materials with no use just to build spiritbond; choose a productive route first.
- Selling materia without checking local value or meld needs; compare both before deciding.
When to stop or switch
Stop when your meld or materia goal is met, or switch to a route whose materials better support current plans.
