Final Fantasy 14has a long tradition of creating tailored quest lines for every individual job, giving each of them a rich background grounded firmly within the world of Eorzea. AsFinal Fantasy 14’s roster of jobs increaseswith every expansion, however, the game has since shifted to offering quests based on each job’s role instead, in anew system known as Role Quests. Gatherers are no exception to this change, with theDawntrailexpansion introducing Wachumeqimeqi quests specifically for crafters and gatherers.
For gatherers, these new quests are divided into two groups, the Fish Fancies Donuhanu questline for fishers, and the Shunye’s Apothecary quests for botanists and miners. Besides offering players a chance to learn more about the culture and citizens of Tuliyollal, completing these quests also reward players with significant amounts of experience and Purple Gatherer’s Scrips toaccelerate their leveling progression.
How To Unlock Wachumeqimeqi Quests
Unlocking the Wachumeqimeqi gatherer quests will require players to progress through theDawntrailMain Scenario Quest, completing the level 92 quest “The Feat of Pots” and unlockingthe Collectables systemfrom thelevel 50 sidequest “Inscrutable Tastes” in Foundation (X:10.1, Y:10.4). Once both requirements are met, players can unlock the gatherer quests via the level 90 sidequest “Wrought in Wachumeqimeqi” fromRopli in Tuliyollal (X:16.1, Y:11.2)
How To Complete The Fish Fancies Donuhanu Quests
Wachumeqimeqi quests for fishers can be started at level 90 by speaking withDonuhanu in Tuliyollal (X:17.1, Y:11.2). Catching collectable fish requires players to activate theCollector’s Gloveability, with the Collectability scaling based on the fish’s size. The best way to catch fish with a high collectability rating is tomake sure Patience II is up at all timesand usePowerful HooksetandPrecision Hooksetabilities to counteract the reduced hook efficiency. As a rule of thumb, Powerful Hookset should be used when a strong bite (!! or !!! appears above the character’s head), while Precision Hookset should be used on weak bites (! appears above the character’s head).
Each target fish only appears at a specific fishing location and requires a specific bait to obtain. The fish required for the Wachumeqimeqi Delivery quests are:
90
93
95
98
100
How To Complete The Shunye’s Apothecary Quests
The Shunye’s Apothecary quests are available to botanists and miners starting at level 90, requiring players to deliver a variety of Collectable items. In order to meet the minimum collectability rating required of these quests, players will have to utilize various gatherer appraisal abilities, such asScourorMeticulous and Brazen Woodsman/Prospectorto raise the collectability rating of items gathered at a node. The specific abilities players will want to use will vary depending on their gear, however, a good starting point is to useScrutiny, Meticulous Woodsman/Prospector, Scrutiny, and Meticulous Woodsman/Prospector, choosing any further abilities based on the collectability rating and integrity of the node.
Below is a table of all required materials for the Shunye’s Apothecary quests. Exact locations for these items can also be confirmed via the in-game quest log.
