Botanist (BTN) Actions, Traits and Cross Class Actions

The botanist’s profession encompasses the procurement of resources from all forms of plant life. This includes harvesting various vegetables and grains, tending to fruit-bearing trees, gathering wild grasses, cultivating fibrous plants for use in textiles, cutting lumber to supply the carpentry trade, and more.

This wide range of raw materials draws the custom of various other guilds, notably the Carpenters’, Weavers’, Alchemists’, and Culinarians’. Botanists also attempt to educate others about the importance of achieving a symbiotic relationshipwith Eorzea’s plants, rather than carelessly stripping them of their useful parts. This is perhaps best exemplified by the revolutionary irrigation methods devised by Gridania, which first made low-impact, high-yield crop propagation possible. The primary tool of the botanist is the hatchet.

Below is a list of abilities for the Botanist class. All of the Botanist’s abilities use 0 MP or TP and have 0 cast time, however they use Gathering Points (GP) instead.

Botanist Actions

Actions are skills that the Botanist can equip to their bar and select to use at any time as long as their timer is available. Actions used in a combo will generate additional damage and effects. All Botanist actions are exclusive to that job.
