If so, for what reason? Also, out of curiosity, which race and which city?

: )

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Absolutely!

I will take it as my main job too, I'm planning to be Hyur Highlander and start up in Ul'dah, I think the focus this game put on these classes is great, while I won't be complete outside of combat classes, definitely I want to focus on crafting/gathering and see how the game evolves.

It won't be my main but i will mine ALOT.I even liked mining on FFXI and i believe it to be even better in FFXIV just a very nice change of pace from fighting all the time.

I did create a Miner/Armorer on OB but not so sure now.

Things might change further down the line but from my limited experience being a miner didn't really help being an armorer.

First thing is that to turn Ores into Ingots appear to be a Goldsmith/Weaponsmith thing (which I don't think makes much sense, Armorer should also be able to do this).

Second is that even if you want and try to have one of these classes just for this (I tried) you are then faced with the (fire) Crystal requirement (for Copper) which aren't even a drop in mining up to rank 12.

I really hope that as an Armorer I can depend on Mining to help instead of having to depend on Vendor.
