Botanist
Introduction
“The botanist's profession encompasses the procurement of resources from all forms of plant life. This includes harvesting vegetables and grains, tending fruit-bearing trees, cultivating fibrous plants, logging timber, and more. Botanists also endeavor to educate others about the need to maintain a symbiotic relationship with Eorzea's plants, rather than carelessly stripping them of their useful parts. Owing to their intimacy with nature, botanists are known to revere Nophica, the goddess of abundance.
Botanists (BTN) are Disciples of the Land that harvest resources from flora throughout Eorzea. The materials they collect are used by various crafting classes, including Carpenters, Weavers, Culinarians, and Alchemists.
