These results are all of grade 5 and includes pine, yew, and oak for grade 4 so it's probably over all grades. Anyone want to share the missing spots like willow, maple, cedar, etc?

The sweet spot is only the same in the grade, zone and only if you're on the same type of node. As soon as you change the grade, zone or node the sweet spot is likely different.

I have most of the grade 5 botany sweet spots. I'll edit them in when I'm at home tonight or tomorrow. It will show for example that mistletoe is the same on the 3 oak trees in Treespeak, but changes on walnut (iirc).

Right on. That really simplifies things. There are far fewer items to log on trees so maybe they wanted to mix it up.

It's the same no matter what zone you go to. For example, gold sand is -3 at both Haltall and Treespeak.

You guys are right. My mistake. It was staring me right in the face. Edited botany into my previous post.

+5 Humus
+4 Obsidian / Sunstone
+3 Silver Sand / Copper
+0 Pyrite
-1 Alumen / Iron Sand
-2 Jade

Humus is +4.

well, going off of my previous comment...

I usually use the mouse, but if you actually use the arrows keys there are definintely that many notches.

Doing some grade 3 leves with botany so far i can confirm what the previous person stated about oak being in -1.

Interesting stuff!

Cedarwood

Raw Aquamarine can be found at -4

You'll know its it, when your reminding bar starts at 2/5. Normally you can mine it successfully if you hit within the small circle of the radar.

NORMALLY <---- :(

I dmg a few.

Botany:

+0 : maple sap

Does that mean it said "Right where you are mining" ? Seems static, but who ever knows:

Any intel on the "notch" for Oysters in g3-5 La Noscea mining nodes?

Thx in advance,

Matt

There also seems to be sweet spots within the mining circle. Some things vary, and have multiple areas which finally yield the ore, but I have noticed that Malachite and Sunstone seem to have 1 or 2 areas within the circle that they tend to be in, usually in the middle to center of the inner circle or just beyond it. Same thing for iron ore, which for 4 or 5 yields in a row will be in the middle of the outer circle, but will then switch. I have only just started noticing this, and I haven't really gone about compiling data other than by making mental notes. Also, you can predict the kind of ore or stone you are mining by the length of the bar above the mining circle. Iron, Zinc, Limonite, Silver, Jade, Obsidian, Iron and Silver sand, and maybe pyrite (not sure) all start out with bars that end at about 60-70% of the total bar length, while Gold Sand and Mythril ore always have a bar that ends at the 50% mark.

But I did, thats why I'm totally bewildered.

By the way, did you guys also use +vit rings and eat Tomato pies?

+1 Cinderfoot Olives
-1 Elm Branches

Rosewood Log -2
Spruce Log +3

These logs are only found in Fieldcraft leves, thought it would be helpful to share ^^

Good idea. I added a section for leves.


Updated.

from a days mining in skull valley

+4 Bone chips
+3 Copper Ore, scallop shells
+2 Saltpeter, sunrise tellins
+1 sea sand
0 Pyrite
-1 Limonite, Alumen
-2 Iron ore

Using this as an example, let's say Humus is harvestable from multiple grade nodes. So would you be able to set your marker to +4 on ANY of those harvest grade node (for the zones that contain the item) and be able to bring up Humus?

Sorry, I have no idea how DoL classes work!

High-quality Raw Sphene (leve item) is +2. And usually the normal of the item is the same (from my experience only), I would imagine the regular Raw Sphene is +2 as well. This is an educated guess, so if this is wrong please let me know. And thanks for all the info from the other posters.

Really think we should compile a full list, and have a sticky for this stuff.

That's in line with my findings too.

can we get a comsolidated list in the first post? good info but it's all spread out
