Great site I love all of the information that is given and how correct it is.

**many may not believe this, but choose if you want to or not**
This has been tested many times:
Now just to tell everyone about harvesting. Me and a group of people on our server have figured that there is a harvesting skill: higher skill seems to make points last longer and get better items more often, than lets say who just started harvesting. We will be currently working on settng up a guide for this and are testing out various ideas, if there is anything that affects the harvests.

One we figured out is you get more saruta cotton in the day time rather than at night.

I know when you start harvesting you cat get mugwort easily, but for example:

A friend of mine just started harvesting for mugwort(for cooking), over 2 days and 4hrs total he only got 2mugworts.

But, when I went to go harvest to help him out(been harvesting for almost as long as I've played the game) I got 5 mugworts in about 40mins and at the end of 1hour I had 7. I tend to get this many on avg for mugworts when I go harvesting.

Still in some testing atm, moon phase seems not to make difference so far. But time of day seems to change outcomes. Haven't tried days(windsday, etc)

If anyone has noticed anything like this or has already started to compile some data on harvesting(website, message boards,other) Please responed to this post or is you have any comments.

In the first 6 months or so after NA PC release, I did a good amount of mining in Gusgen and then in Ifrit's. I didn't see any positive trend in my mined materials at all that couldn't be attributed to my own experience (knowing what routes to run), and chance.

I think the best thing you can do when you're starting out as a miner/harvester/logger is to have someone show you the spawn points and a good route to run between them, since the majority of your time spent on any given mining run will be running around looking for points. Minimizing this time maximizes your results and profits. :)
